There could be two brass tags , left side of the main engine towards the rear of it and on the rear of the bevel gear housing . There will also be a number cast into the motor on a flat area just above the crankcase , left side towards the front .

Number is on the edge by the little stick

Hi all...found serial No.....7U38454...any idea of year..cannt find on internet

It's a 1956. The year isn't really that important, everything is based off of serial number.
