New one on me, funny 'n weird

Looks like a case to me. Shortly after I got out of the Navy in 74, Dad bought "a bunch" of stuff from a local farmer. Dad wanted a nice plow they had, and the farmer told Dad "he had to take it all." With the stuff was an old case, had been parked for at least 20 years that the owner knew of. Had no can over the exhaust, but did have a small hole at the bottom of the exhaust elbow. It was miraculous.........the engine had been re-sleeved, and had nearly NO rust in the cylinders. Amazing.

Dad found a brand new updraft carb (missing) off a 20' something old car, which we adapted. Had to buy a new mag. Dad ordered a decal set and painted it. Crank start. It had a huge engine, and a lot of power. No hydraulics. I don't remember the model of it anymore
