I have an old Yale/ Bowman , it says on the tag model MP3981. The starter is going out on it and I can't leave it down while the starter is rebuilt. How do I identify the engine so I can maybe order a starter to swap in? I have pictures if needed.
Serial says G877137
03-FG15PVDS
3000 lbs.

am told it might be a gray market unit.

The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
