Check above the inspection plate cover for a serial number on your transmission to give an accurate date on it. As has been posted, side loader started in 1940 unless on a pickup or commercial vehicle. Love to see my fellow Wisconsinites chiming in with their knowledge, learned lots from both on here. Drain cocks from the factory Kube? Need to buy the book about that one I guess. old Tom, think you might be close as well, what's your locale if I'm not prying.
