I think the Single cyl low speed gas engine was used, however there were speed reduced single air cooled units with flat belt outputs.
Using the belt pully drive with a small diameter pulley (about 3") might be less effort to make and set up to run. It would also provide a measure of safety in the sense that a locked up drum on the mixer (for what ever reason I can imagine but shudder when I do) turns the whole mixer into a disaster. The belt would slip and or the mixer would move toward the tractor, jumping the belt.
The pulley dimensions can be found in an old Machinery's Handbook.
Good luck with your find. We have one being powered by an electric motor with a gear reduction and vbelt used over the flat driven pulley.
