Portable belt drive maybe to operate something similar a water pump jack.

It looks like an engine.
Its worth what ever you can sell it fur, or if you are buying it, its worth the price you are willing to pay for it.
You could start out in the price range of $1.00 and go from there.

It looks like an IHC model LA or LB.

Throttle governed, not a hit and miss.

The radiator looks to possibly be OEM, and would help it fetch more cash.

The engines are fairly common, but you don't see many with the radiator setup.

Most of those old hit-n-miss engines overheated; us kids used to toss some eggs in the water until they were hard boiled.

Apparently adding a radiator was to deal with the cooling problem. I saw an engine just like that at a tractor show in Tombstone, AZ, a few years ago. Might have been used in a mine back in the day.

IH 3-5 HP engine with radiator, used on hay presses, and possibly other applications.

Are you selling the engine? If yes, I may be interested.

I would like to sell it. It is located is SW Minnesota. The engine turns over and it does have spark and compression. Hasn't been run for 15 years. I don't have a clue as to the worth of it. Do you have any idea?

What is it?
