My money is on being a Model "B", now here is why.
Those gear cases wear out quickly, especially without a careful eye on maintenance, but the ID tag rarely wears out…
Odds are the original gear case was swapped out with whatever was available. No one alive will ever be able to 100% positively tell you that it was one or the other when it was first made. Going with the Model "B" appears to be the easiest and probably, most likely correct.
Flywheel mags first introduced:
"2. Flywheel Magneto available on all 1914-28 models"
As taken from the document previously provided.
Could the tank have been taken off of a "B" model and placed on an "A" model motor? Umm yeah, but it would be impossible to prove or disprove that.
Comes down to which model 1914 does he want, he can go either "A" or "B" . One option will be cheaper than the other and both, if done right, will be correct.
