Well, I'm going to hazard a guess that the red round thing at the bottom middle is a flywheel. That being the case, I think there's a belt missing.

I must admit I was expecting you to spot the missing fan belt, and possibly the little wheel!

It was quite amusing when the bus driver came back from the engine with a shredded fan belt that some people were still expecting the bus to be going somewhere!
