Please help I.D. my 900

[toolz]

Just bought a 900 diesel, and I can't find a serial number. I looked by the flange behind the air filter, and it looks like a plate was there, but gone now. I read that a '59 has an inline pump, and this one does. I also read that a 930 has a longer front bolster, but I've got nothing to compare with, so I suppose it could be a 930. Radiator cap comes through the hood. Any help would be appreciated. Also, what's a 910? Thanks for your help. Kevin

There should be a metal tag on the right side of the dash with seriel number on. The 59's number started with 814_____, the 58's were 812_____. The 59's had the inline pump and radiator cap on top of the hood. My 58 has the round pump and radiator cap under a square cover on hood. If the seriel number is more than 814____ it is a 930, I think..

The serial number on the engine flange will be stamped into the flang, not a tag. It should be there unless the block may have been changed. They are sometimes covered with paint and be hard to see. Was going to post picture but i's not uploading.

I finally found my serial number- 8149767, which should make it a late 1959. It was under the paint. Thanks for your help. Kevin

910-B was the LPG version of 900. 940 was LPG version of 930.
