    .
    I can’t help saying this, but…..
    response on this topic is less 😯
    But honest to say, it is hard to tell a production year when you have a motor built from several parts.
    It is a 1914 or 1915 , that’s for sure
    the three-piece crankcase came in 1915 however there are some 1915 models that used the two-piece crankcase
    the automatic reverse came in 1915.

    but now what ?

    What I would do.
    Make a list of what you need to make a standard model B
    and make a list of what you need to make a reversible model A
    I think that it is easier to complete a model B, at least you have right flywheel and
    the tank with a matching ID #
    remove some parts from the lower unit , install the water pump
    however…..
    a mag plate and the exhaust manifold are harder to find, but you need both parts anyway, what choice you make.
    good luck. ( just my 2 euro cents )
