Chrysler and Desoto used flathead sixes in their cars into the 1950's, but as far as I know, those particular engines were not used for industrial/agriculatural applications. The Ind/Ag engines I have seen are based on the Dodge/ Plymouth engine- different from the Chrys/Desoto engines. Yale used them in forklifts, Massey used them in combines, etc. The ones before about 1953 were 217 cubic inches and the later ones until about 1960 were 230 cubic inches. Most parts interchange on these two engines. If needing parts for the 217, ask for 1950 Plymouth. If for the 230, ask for 1954 Plymouth. The oil pump on the side can be removed without removing the oil pan, but be aware that proper ignition timing is dependent on properly "timing" the oil pump first if the pump has been removed. Important info for rebuilding.
