I think I found it. If this is it, only 4 digits are legible. Looks like 3374. There is one digit prior, however I cannot tell what it is. There is also a number under the crankshaft at the rear. Not sure of the significance... Is this helpful at all. Is it odd that this plate was stamped at an angle, and more pressure applied to the top half of the stamp set?
Thanks all for your time and help.
Much appreciated.
Try to do a pencil rubbing of the partial vin you show in the photo. You may reveal addtional numbers. Or, wire wheel or strip the paint to see what else is there.
