Hi Dennis, You have a 1947 model.The G stands for
gas, The S for standard. The H is not mentioned
in my manual, but poss in yours on one of the lst
pages. Chuck

The H may be High Altitude Gas engine. The H is used on some serial numbers for HAG engine.

Look at the serial #s on the left. Means riceland or hillside

Does it have a hand clutch?
 

[Dennis Moore]

Yes it has a hand clutch. It has been changed to lp gas so I
will have to find a hood fuel tank and carb for it
