I think you will find the model number and serial number combination stamped into the lowest edge of the crankcase below the starboard cylinder. Use a flashlight. The number is not cast onto the metal , it is stamped into the metal. My version of your motor is the same except it has a poppet valve carb which makes mine a 8 HP. Yours is 8 1/2 HP with the fancy carb. Mine is a 1933 model 417 with the same crankcase (electric start) as yours and same spring dampened steering handle mount etc. Your tank is a keeper with those nice original decals. Are any decals visible on the ends of the tank??
