    There could be two brass tags , left side of the main engine towards the rear of it and on the rear of the bevel gear housing . There will also be a number cast into the motor on a flat area just above the crankcase , left side towards the front .

    Number is on the edge by the little stick

    Open end spanner, WD40 and some grunt, about 1" dip along the grousers between the top roller and idler.

    It's a 1956. The year isn't really that important, everything is based off of serial number.
