Please take a look at this picture and tell me about the generator, water pump and oil filler. These are all different than my other 2 Model A's.
Thanks!

The oil filler is Model B. The waterpump is an aftermarket part that uses waterproof grease as the seal. I've had one of those waterpumps on my deluxe delivery for many miles. It works good and has never leaked a drop.

Is this a Model B engine? B's used a fatter oil filler supposed to reduce oil fog escaping into the engine compartment. It looks a little like that's a 3-bolt water pump which Model B's had. Is there a letter C cast on top of the head, a little to the northeast of the distributor as you look down on it? And is there a mechanical fuel pump on the other side, down and to the right of the carburetor (or a block-off plate added later)? But I'm really curious about what appears to be a three-blade fan, which I've not seen before. More pics would help.

The water return pipe is the 28-9 style installed backwards. That's a Model B generator with two wires coming through the case in a rubber grommet. The field wire is grounded by the cutout mounting screw. The front crossmember is late 29 through 31. The front spring mount U bolts are the 28-9 style.

The fourth blade is just being shy.

Good questions and I appreciate the replies. I'll have to do some more checking.
I will post a couple more pictures, because the starter looks a little different to me as well.
