..."In 1937,IH introduced the No. 15 baling press. Designed for belt or motor power, this was one of the last IH stationary presses.....using either a continental Y-69 motor or an International LB"(or LA)"...3-5h.p..."
"Over 9,000 LA 3-5 horsepower engines were built between 1935 and 1938."

My 2...Many hay press companies bought LA and LB engines then resold them on their presses(Lilliston, mnfg. in Georgia, for instance).
IH also put LA"s on the #15 press(which is most likely what you have if it"s an IH press).
If it was original motor powered, it would have a pulley connected to a long lever that tensioned the belt. I have never personally seen a belt-powered one with this tensioner pulley.
