Was the engine normally used to drive farm machinery?

"Equipped with a general-purpose movers familiar with "Chikiban issue" (second generation)."
That's all I've found

okay, one last question: do you know the size of the engine? Still locked

Wow, that is a really cool little machine, that cleverly replicates the car design from the time around 1898-1903.

Only the colour scheme is too wild in my eyes.

If only I would know how to do it, I would start trying to build something comparable right now

The sources where I've found this little machine don't talk about the size of the engine. But similar Karui engines are 2.5 and 3.0 hp 1 cylinder

Okay, you obviously deserve your two point. One of my sources claimed a 500 cc lawn mower engine, but I see on the site of Karui that these stationary engines are used in gardens. Congratulations
