Looking at this cat and seller says it's a 7U like I wanted. There is no tag on the back and it looks alot like the 5T with a D4400 not the 315 a 7U would have. The air filter is like a 4400 and the starting levers are like the 4400's. I'm 99.9% positive it's a 5T but would like a definite yes or no. Is there another tag spot besides on the back? Thanks[attachment=43510]00z0z_2q8etOFIYN5_600x450.jpg[/attachment]

The other tag location is behind the governor on the main engine block, just below the block to head join. If the tags are missing, you'll see two small holes where the drive pins secured the tags. Carefully scrape the paint off between them to reveal the serial # stamped into the block.
Doesn't look like a 7U to me - has the large governor housing on the front, straight pinion clutch lever, air cleaner inlet at the front of the hood, small bearing case on the final. There could be 7U parts on it, but the engine, hood, and finals do not look like a U. What % of parts would deem it a U vs. T? I'd argue that the main engine and the transmission/final/undercarriage would need to all be U-series to qualify, otherwise it's a combination and should be advertised as such.

Thanks for the reply. I have a complete 7J and a 7u that's in pieces, was hoping this would be a 7U but all the facts are pointing towards a 4400. Under the impression it was a 7U I Told the guy I would buy it, but on the drive home the air filter location kept popping in my mind. Owell. Rookie mistake! Haha

Its a 7J or early 2T?, small outer final drive hub bearings and governor in the timing case tells me.

Governor in the timing cover makes it a 4G or 7J prior to s/n 7J5104.
Track frame says it is above s/n 4G9902.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
