It seems every tractor, generator, welder forklift etc.was powered by one of these back before my time. After searching nonstop the 1977 Caterpillar V40B 79M2205 or 79M4199 and Cat T50B 14N1463 or 14N3262 are the closest cosidering the crankcase breather, distributor, top flow downdraft carburetor , bottom mount muffler, governor to carburetor rods,linkages and pivots. Sorry for TMI
