quote Hotrod:
I now believe that your original tank was aluminum.
My 1923 and 1924 N 4225 motors both have brass tanks and both have the sn plate on the brass tank, with no rivet holes in the reverse housing where a sn plate could have been attached. My1924 N 6414 motor has the aluminum tank with the sn tag riveted onto the front of the reverse housing.
Since your N 5166 has the rivet holes in the front edge of your remaining portion of the reverse housing, indicating an aluminum tank, it appears that the brass tanks ended somewhere between N 4225 and N 5166.

good info "Hotrod"
I thought that the copper tank always belongs to the NS model with
the salt water / brass lower unit
