Hello.
Does anybody know when the 25 HP block was upgraded by addition of two bolts at the top of the casting approximately next to oil cooler base? Was it in 1944? What date or engine #? Thanks.
I am looking for an early 25 HP block or complete engine and wonder how many were made (starting about March 1943) before the reinforced version came in production.

Anybody possibly having an early 25-HP engine in Kubel or in spares? It means number 2-020292 to approximately 2-022000.

I have one complete engine from 43 that does not have the extra 8mm bolts on the top split seam (industrial 6 o14074) have not cleaned this engine to get date stamps

and a bare case 2 042348 (Kubelwagen 43) that also has no extra bolts on top, date stamping 29-7-43 . The industrial engine will be repurposed into 44 Kubelwagen. David

Exact date is not known but reinforcements appear in both magnesium and alu cases in the summer of 1944, July-August. The only way to tell is to look at casting dates on surviving cases. Cases were cast up to about 11/44 and used all the way to end of production 10 April 1945. I have never seen 1945 casting dates?
