Was there a log saw version of the Olds Engines? That or it was  
modified for log saw operation? The flat face flywheel is more like a  
flat drive pulley then a flywheel.  The round rim one reminds me of a  
large hand wheel for a valve

My wife's people were all very mechanically inclined.  Known in the  area 
to be able to fix steam engines, make tractors from automobile parts,  take 
several junk cars and put them together to make a jalopy, etc. Knowing  that, 
it is no telling what they have done to the engine in the photo to make  it 
workable.  We know it is her grandfather and possibly her brother who  died 
as a young child in the photo.
