    I am not positive how many years they used that same tank, BUT, in 1947 I believe they used a 2 piece cast tank. They NEVER dented.

    It was only one year they used the cast tank. Someone correct me if the tank was changed. The ’47 was a 2.5 hp but I do not think they changed the tank for the 3 hp.

    Given my lack of skill and patience ….I’ve always said that that’s the sort of motor I would choose for a restoration project;  one of those with cast tanks and cowlings.  Makes it a lot easier!
