Carl:

It looks to me like a ZC-52.  52 cubic inches, 3 HP.  Stock bore is 3-5/8".  

They were also available with a radiator (condenser) for oilfield use, requiring long runs without attention.

They are fairly common, especially in areas where there are shallow oil wells.  Made up into the 1950's.

When done right, they are nice running engines and most parts are still available from Harry's sponsors.

Take care - Elden
