Kinda reminds me of dads oliver 525 I think it is. Flathead engine in it? good machines, dad lets his occupy the machine shed, hasn't been used in almost 20 years.
 
I used to run one of those when I was a kid but I don't know what you are asking.

That motor (since it was brought up) is a continental flat head that I think is rated 63 HP but I won't swear to it. Don't know the displacement.
The transmission is a 4 speed and I believe the cylinder is 28 inches wide. The cylinder was driven by a #80 chain and interchangeable sprockets. I once saw a variable speed belt but it would slip.
We had a 10 foot head with a header control that was too slow to work very good (Roper/Wright Robot header control). The corn head was a #12. It used two big augers to push the corn into the machine.
It has a beater before and aft of the cylinder but corn would knock the bars off of the front one so that it was just a smooth round cylinder.
The front concave is fairly adjustable but the rear is just up or down. The chaffer shakes but the sieve just vibrates.

Not sure is this is what you wanted but some things I remember.

Chysler industrial six flathead in the 525's and 535's, the 545 had the Chrysler 318 V8. The 535 was morphed into the White 7300.
 
Back up here. If it was made in Branfort it was made in the last year of production (either 62 or 63). It was designed in Battle Creek, MI. It is not a Cockshutt design. The 3 digit models are Cockshutt design machines. The Oliver models used a Continental F-226 engine. The Ford machines used the Ford OHV 6 cylinder.
