There is no serial # on block by the carb tractor serial # is 20082.I am trying to find out if this is a D17 engine. casting # by distributor and power steering pump is AM3853-21 can anyone tell me what i have here by this #.The reason i ask is cause it has a tsx-422 carb on it and these were not used on d17 and i need to get a manifold for it.
 
The number you give is a casting #. There those that can tell, but I can't. Look on the rear flange of the motor, carb side, on the flat, that sits at about a 45 degree angle to horizontal, there should be a stamped number that starts with D-17. Might not start with D-17, lots of people swapped other motors, like from WD's-and WD45's, Power units, and combines, into the D-17
 
That # is d17-20082 but there is no # on block by carb where i have seen serial # for the engine stamped on other d17 tractors i have looked at.
 
The same replacement manifold will fit everything from a WC through early D17. Unless the manifold you are replacing has the threaded muffler connection, you can use this universal WC/WD/WD45/D17 manifold. If it's the latter they are also available and fit late D17/170/175 tractors.Kip
 
Thanks kip still tryin to figure out why there is no block serial # behind carb when there is on every other motor ive seen.
 
Also where is #1 cylinder starting at radiator end so i can set valves is it 1 2 3 4 from the cylinder closet to the radiator to back of engine.
 
#1 is at the front by the radiator. There might not be a serial number on the block if it were a replacement.

The engine number is stamped on the back flange of the block and the tractor number is stamped right behind it on the bell housing flange.
