My 47 is 12391. Now I've seen 3 ohv's built after mine ! I have a question, though. On a motor built that late, what should the date codes on the trans case, lid, and covers be around ? Mine are august/september of 47. Seems too close to 48 production to me.

Should be close to the date code on your engine cases. Aug/Sep 47 is 48 production.

I can't comment on the numbers since I don't know anything but compared to my numbers this one looks good like the others said. As far as price, $17,500 is a killer deal I think. If you do not get it could you pass the seller's info to me please? Everyone wants $30k plus these days even for bikes that are not even close to original. I paid more then that and mine didn't run and needed a lot more then this one.

wow your numbers are so close to mine within 40 numbers
looks same as my FL stamping.

That number looks fine, a couple hundred over mine and close to the end of production!
