You need to get the serial number off it as there were a few of them made starting out with the 20A & then the 53A & 46H & 11K & 14X the ones made here in USA. The SN is needed so you can get the right parts for it. Look on the left rear side of the diesel block just below the head & also on the rear case just above the drawbar & it should be there on a riveted plate on the block or rear housing.I have worked on the 111-Marion Cat engines & the Cat engine used in the ones I saw had the D375 V-8 Cat engine if I recall. I just can,t remember if the little later 111 had the D379 in it or not for sure after the D375 went out of production.
