Massey Ferguson used the same design. The engine also matches the MF gray color.
IIRC the engines in those tractors were cast iron. If the HP can be found that would determine what it came out of, as the MF model #'s directly equal engine HP (EX: The Massey Ferguson 8 has 8 hp).
I have one Te-junk-ski that done blowed up, I got it for free already knowing it's issue. Just an aluminum block, so nothing special there. I've also got a 6hp cast iron one (it's painted orange, wonder what it came off of?) that with a carb clean, mouse nest removal, and points filing, should run. Just gotta get around to it first 
Okay, enough off-topic tractor talk for me  |
Somebody on a FB garden tractor page put up a picture of a Wheelhorse with that side-pulley setup. I was finally able to clean enough dirt off the engine to locate a set of numbers, stamped into the metal of the cowling above the engine's brand name tag, which would have originally been on the left side of the engine before it was turned 90 degrees to fit this Cub. The numbers read "HH100115255H" gap "SER30761" (guessing that's the serial number?) So, was this a 10HP cast iron Tecumseh?
I have yet to attempt to get the engine started, but in the process of removing the drive shaft from the rear end, I found the holes in the clutch plates to be completely worn out. They will need to be replaced. I will add some pictures of that after getting the engine out of the frame for cleaning out the gunk. Air cleaner had oil in it, so I think it needs to be inspected before I try to start it.
