Jerry,

Thanks for the reponse.
I made the assumption that my engine is a Cushman R12 based on the  Massey 
Harris Model R Engines Instruction and Parts book that you so kindly  sent me.  
I am going by the size of the flywheels (2" x 12").  The  information is on 
Page 12 - part number 29-113.  The reason I was asking  about the serial number 
is that two different types of of mixers were used  depending on whether the 
engine was built before and after serial number 66,000  (See Page 15 - part 
number A19-481 or A16-481).  Perhaps either one will  work as I don't have any 
mixer on the engine.  It requires the screw in  head type mixer and not the slip 
in type mixer.
