Please help ID this old B&S engine on a tiller.

#1
Neighbor has had this tiller sitting out for 30 years I know of. I may ask him to sell me the engine if it is worth restoring?
The ID plate is aluminum and has an upper and lower row of numbers.
The upper row reads: 201059 space 109666
Lower Row: 008 space 015

I just picked one up like that one and the numbers are stamped on the side of the housing. Mine's a 1958. The carb/tank set up obviously from newer briggs. Yours Could be 59???

It' s model 9. 9 cubic inches Type 201058. Serial No 109666. Bottom line is valve lash. Probably 3.25 hp. Built Jan 1953 Has the extended crankshaft so it is built for a recoil starter, which was not common in 1953.
