Tom, Did you ever get the Caterpillar part number for the coolant filter screen? Thanks!

FOUND: Working Model B distributor Bought a B distributor locally yesterday.

FOUND: original Aermore 4-tube whistle Thanks for all the replies. I found a whistle and am expecting it later this week. Walt

Bill, Where did the swivel seats come from? An RV? A bar stool?
