I just got this put in the shed last night.  Thus far, its the only one 
like this that I can come up with.  Its a Dean Engine built in Covington 
(or Newport), KY.  This baby is HEAVY for its HP.  Its got an 8 1/2 inch 
bore and the flywheel rims have a 5 inch face (they're not crowned so 
they aren't electric lighting wheels).  The engine is all original and I 
think it probably has the original oiler and compression release as if 
you go to Wendel's BYB (or BRB as the case may be) on page 121 in the 
upper right you'll see the engine from an old advertisement.  It has a 
lobe on it where it looks like there might have been a fuel pump but if 
so, it hasn't been on the engine for many years as the grease is caked 
on in that area.  Also, in the BYB you can't see a fuel pump but I can 
see the lobe.  It might have been an option.  Go to this website and you 
can look at some additional photos (I removed the 1 gallon gas tank that 
was on it). After you open, just go up to the arrow in the upper right 
corner and click it and you'll go to the next photo:
