This is a little hit and miss engine from Macleod's. It is 1-3/4 HP.
I just fired it up for a few minutes here. The drip oiler is removed in this video, as I wanted to put some oil in the tube to ensure the piston and cylinder were well lubricated before starting the engine. This little hit and miss engine likely ran a water pump or small hammer mill (grain grinder), or perhaps even a washing machine on a rural prairie farm. The engine has been restored, and still wears it's original Wico EK Magneto. The muffler is not original (it is from a 6 HP Wisconsin engine, and it does quiet the exhaust noise down quite a bit.) Plans are to get an original dish-type muffler for the little engine.

They're fun little engines, I've got videos of a Nelson Brothers T up that is pretty much the same engine with a different hopper shape. Just be careful starting it, these engines are somewhat notorious for firing backwards and breaking people's arms. Usually I start mine by drawing prime, then latching the governor and getting those wheels up to speed before letting go. It either hits and is good to go, or it misses and I start over. Its sprained my wrist a few times firing backwards, I don't want to risk worse.

Thanks for the heads up on that. Yes, a broken wrist from a kickback would be bad. I usually start my engines by spinning the flywheel by hand and getting it ready to fire. Just when it comes up to fire, I give the flywheel a kick with a looser hand and it either fires and takes off, or it will kick back and my hand slips off the flywheel. I don't like using any solid crank handle unless the spark timing can be retarded quite a bit to eliminate kickback.
