There seems to be a general impression that our oil filler is on the small side. It certainly appears to me to be 'pimping' and one would consider that something twice the diameter is more like a reasonable proposal. This applies to both chassis. We think 28 HP. should be modified. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
