On the 52R, if it didn't have PTO drive from the tractor IH used either a Continental Y-69 flathead 4 cylinder or later they used a Farmall Cub engine for power. They were connected to an over-center clutch which had a very short shaft connected to the gearbox on the combine. The engines were officially attachments and you could easily convert back and forth between a PTO drive or an engine drive.

Shown is a pic of my Continental-equipped 52R. If you look close you can see the clutch and the shifter lever coming out of it and connected to the control rod going up to the rear of the tractor. When you engage the clutch, there is a linkage on the other side connected to the governor linkage on the engine to give it full throttle. I also have a Cub driven model too. Setup is similar there. I think the 76 combine used the C-123 engine, the late 64 might have used it too.
