5 ton beachbuggy Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hi all. I recently bought the car and have it running well using info from this forum. Someone had taking the fuel system apart and gave up on it. I put a float bowl ass in the vacuum tank to control the fuel level from the electric pump already on the car. The car drives great and gets attention everywhere we take it. I have been restoring army trucks for 30 years and this is my first old car. My wife loves the car and drives it. Thanks for all the info on this site .Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROD W Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Congratulations on your new purchase. These cage valve engines are wonderful engines. Don,t forget to oil the front timing gears with a heavy grade oil. D 45 would make it a 1917. What is the frame and engine number. Hope you get years of fun from your D45. I did see it when it was advertised but can you post some pics. Edited June 18, 2015 by ROD W (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzBob Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I remember watching the episode where they bought that car. Glad to hear it went to a good home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROD W Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 5 ton beachbuggyYour car is an E 45, frame numbers for 1918 ran from 337783 - 480996 engine numbers for 1918 ran from 341292 - 474337 That is a later engine number for 1920, but it looks like a 1918 engine to me.
