Default Please help ID this unknown head and carb!

I picked this up recently and have no idea what it's for! It mounts on 3 5/8 inch centers and has Z prefixes to the parts. Z8, Z10, Z11 etc. Can anyone help? Thanks, Jason

Hey Jason, it looked very familiar so I had to double check myself but I found what it was. It's for a 1 1/2 hp Independent Harvester. Here is a picture I posted in a previous thread that sold at an auction here in Michigan. Look at the head on the engine and yours, they are identical, It looks different because your rocker arm has a broken piece on each end, but that IS what it fits. Hope this helps ya.
