Ron,

    If you look on photo 3 you see the triangle shaped  casting on the 
top of the cylinder just below the head.  The "crooked" piece sticking 
out of the middle of it is the hot tube.  It would have had a chimney 
attached where the bolts are screwed into the cylinder.  I don't know 
when they discontinued the hot tube set up but I know the late models 
don't have it.
