[AT] ser#'s for Allis K crawlers

[william.neff.powell at comcast.net]

Does it have an injection pump on it? That would help in determining if it was the oil engine.

Norm Swinford's book about Allis Chalmers Construction equipment may have the answer. I am at work and don't have the book here.... I don't recall that they broke out the serial numbers for the Oilers though.... 

Regards,
