What Year is My 45?

Man that D40 carburetor looks fantastic...I think it's the best I have ever seen.
Better than new......Great work...

Is there a difference between D40 and Sd 40 ? I do not see the BIG WINDOW HERE. ?

The pics he posted have the window facing away.

After waiting TWO YEARS for my bed to get painted it's finally done! Well almost, I still need a do a few little things here and there. I also need a horn button and a wiper arm nut & bolt.

It’s a shame to cover that beautiful carburetor with that beautiful air breather!

Unfortunately, the horn button got damaged so I am on the hunt for a new one.

The bed that was original to the 45 had a few rust spots, so my uncle was able to find another in great shape.

You all would die if see this 45 in person…

Mikes attention to detail is crazy cool…

I thought the reason for the window was so an owner could see the fuel level after hood opening. As a quick knowledge of fuel feed. I never saw a big window carb installed where you need a mirror.

The pic in post #38 has the carb installed rotated, linkage is pointing forward and not connectable, fuel inlet pointing to the rear instead of forward. The pic in post #47 shows it in correct orientation, but can’t see the window because of the air cleaner. And that carb has a solenoid, I don’t think SD40’s did (or do), so I’m guessing not an SD 40. Why all this nonsense? Who knows. Beautiful build!
