Help identifying engine

[rustystuff]

Hi everyone,
I have a new (to me) engine that I am having trouble identifying. No data plate to be found, but most cast parts (head, flywheels, block, etc) have an embossed "JR" with a coinciding number cast into the parts. Just hoping to find out who made it so I may find details for restoration. Thanks in advance, I ve posted a few pics

Could it be a Galloway by chance? I know
the upper water jacket sure has their
look, but it's the hand crank in the
flywheel that makes me doubt that as well.
How many hp do you think it is? I have
never seen a Galloway that was less than
5, most were 7hp.

I think I have figured it out. I believe this to be a Lauson Frost King Jr. Either 1 3/4 or 1 1/2 hp is what these came as but without the data plate I don t know until I can get more info and measurements. I just came across a gas tank that I believe will fit so I should be able to try running it soon. Just need to find a check valve for the gas tank and put new wood skids under it. I ll post some pics once assembled and ready to run. If anyone has measurements for the cylinder of the 1 1/2 vs 1 3/4 I would greatly appreciate it.
