If the lip is turned down on your water hopper it sounds like a model D.They were made in the first half of 1914.The hp and s/n is often on the end of the crankshaft on the igniter side.They were the first engines made at the Evansville.Good luck.Dave

This is a early "E" model with a "D" style rolled hopper. The engine you have could be a "D". I do not believe they had a tag. The number is on the end of crank shaft. It should have an igniter like the one on this engine.
