What is it?

Post by JSinMO »

Son and one of his buddies were down in the creek the other day. At the far end of the property there is an old junk pile, (every farm had one), just bits and pieces left now days. Anyway they pulled this thing out of there and it seems like I should know what it is, or was, but I just can’t put my finger on it.
You guys have any ideas?

It’s about the same size as a front rim for a Ford N tractor.
The inner part looks like it’s ment to rotate and it has round holes around the center and square carriage bolt hole around the edge.

We have found other things that I was able to put a rough date on between the 1890’s and 1940’s so I’d guess this would fall in there somewhere.

Looks like the outer ring to a spoked wheel.
