Thanks Mike.  I've learned something here, too.  I was under the 
impression that the number on the axle housing was supposed to be a 
match to the serial number on the engine. Mine, by the way, does not 
match. I have assumed that some P.O. had performed an engine swap prior 
to my acquisition, but for other reasons. The engine bears the tag of a 
rebuilder and has 8N as part of the number. I have a question. A P.O. 
installed a 12v generator and battery, but apparently did not change 
other components. The voltage regulator, which appears to be a six volt, 
has now fried. What would be an appropriate 12v regulator to install on 
this unit?
Thanks.
