Hello

that's probably it, why do you want to know that?

[ColtonGG33]

to know what?

[barnett468]

if thats the breather tube

[ColtonGG33]

oh because MonroeMike said the code/vin is right at it

[barnett468]

It will be very easy to see unless it has also been removed. it is on a flat pad 2" long 1/2" wide. It will be facing up on too of the motor not on the side. If it is not there it's suspicious.

ok i know what you mean, should be easy to find ill still take a pic of the frame where it was, just so you can see what i meant,
Thanks For all your help i really do appreciate it,

Hello Colton

No problem, happy to tell you what's going on after we see the photos. If the vin was stamped on the frame you can wet sand it with 280 or 320 paper, then get some "metal prep acid" from an automotive paint supply shop, Pour some on a paper towel and hold it on the number area for a minute. do this 2 times and the number may appear faintly.

oh i didnt know it was stamped into the frame? i thought it was like a sticker on it with all the info, i am defiantly gonna check it out

is there anything else i could use instead of that metal prep we will probably be snowed in tomorrow, and wont be able to get to the store
either way ill get a number

hello

Yes but it doesn't work as well. sulfuric acid = battery acid or muratic or hydrochloric acid = pool acid they are both the same just a different name. if you have powdered pool axcid mix a little with warm water.

shoot us a photo of the area though

hello

Yes but it doesn't work quite as well. sulfuric acid = battery acid or muratic or hydrochloric acid = pool acid they are both the same just a different name. if you have powdered pool acid mix a little with warm water.

use gloves or a cotton ball held with pliers. they wont burn you right away but be careful and wash quickly

[ColtonGG33]

Ok thanks for the tips I think I have some hydrochloric acid somewhere around here,
Thanks again for the help and tips
Colton

[barnett468]
