".....Any idea what a typical use would be for a small motor like this?....."
I asked my dad that very question about 50 years ago when he brought home the Waterloo Boy I have. His answer was anything that you could drive a motor with. When he had been a kid on the farm the primary use for the engine they had back then was to pump water from the well. It was also used on a small "two hole" corn sheller a small feed grinder and occasionally belted to the grinder or drill. Compressors were popular items too with the advent of more and bigger pneumatic tires........those old hand pumps got old real quick.
Here are a couple of videos showing some of the equipment.

Of course one of the more popular modern uses is to run ice cream makers.

OK that might have been a little overkill

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
