It's a few hours away from me. Ad has lousy pictures and no details. Seller doesn't know much about it, either.

About all is know is that it has a cable blade, electric start, and "ran when parked."

My guess is D8H. Am I correct?

Thanks,

Scott

Hi, bulletpruf.

I'm gonna stick my neck out in the 'waiting-for-the-axe' position here and say either 1950 or later 2U, post hard nose and two lever transmission, or a 13A D8. Looks to be mostly there but a bit ovva project.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Typical clues are the H does not have that "T-shaped" dash that the 2U/13A has, but it does have an 8 bolt (or 10?) cover over the end of the dead axle, along with a turbocharger if you can see under the hood
