There's a hit-n-miss engine without the crank or flywheels in the
background. The one in the foreground looks like some kind of pump.
At least it looks like it has a packing gland.

It was designed to hang from the end opposite the "packing gland", yet
the writing on the gearbox casting woud be upside down if hung.

Almost looks like some sort of air or steam powered drill unit.
Percussion perhaps

Note the operations lever on the other end. Looks like a valve handle.

It's a plasma manifold from X-19 alien space ship...be careful of the attached
anal probe!

as pete pointed out, the thing in the foreground is a pump, the thing in the
background is part of an engine - probably about 1 hp, maybe less

It looks like it might be a condensate pump or feedwater pump for a steam
engine.

Looks like a water hammer pump or Hydraulic Ram that were used on some
farms to pump irrigation water.

If it is a ram - it figures. Hills and river driving downward - hits hammer
and the water is pumped up-hill. Logical for the area.
