These engines were used in railroad work cars. They came on a sliding base that allowed the engine to be moved to take up the slack in the drive belt, thus acting as a clutch missing the original coil gas tank is not original, but that is to be expected as the original was mounted in the car, not on the engine. The broken flange on the pulley is common engine appears to be original turns freely is a good sign. If it didn’t, it would mean that water had got into the cylinder and rusted it. If this happens, the engine is normally trash the only concern is the rusted head bolts They typically break the studs when removed, which is a major hassle.
