This is powered by a "hit and miss" It has only one cylinder and does not fire on every stroke... Here is a video of a similar tractor. The thing on the front of the following tractor is the cooling system. Water trickles over a screen and cools off... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOwR9lzswME
I'm familiar with both the engine, and the cooling system from going to the local steam antique tractor museum for the parade of tractors... I hope you've done that too, especially on a cooler fall day, as it was a hot humid dusty day when I did, and I can't recommend those conditions. The parade was very damn cool though http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/06/parade-of-steam-engines-and-antique.html photo #77.
