I wish I could tell the size of the thing but there's nothing to judge it by. I get the impression by the way it is assembled in the photo that it is some sort of hitch. Maybe a tractor to a wagon or some other ag equipment? That's my guess anyway.
If that’s crabgrass around it, then patches that big can be the size of an adult hand, (see video at link below), which would make that a pretty hefty hunk of iron.
I’m guessing a coupling device of some sort, where the point of that flared pin is designed to find a slot, and the flare to properly align it after entry. But that’s all I’ve got.
I'm making a wild-ass guess here: The tapered/y-shaped/longer/more narrow piece would be permanently bolted to the tool (wagon, gang of discs, spring tooth harrow, etc...). What looks like protruding nails are what I believe to be rusted bolts. (Note the square heads). Nails would easily pull out. The (clevis) piece with the vertical square head bolt (drawpin) and four boltholes would be attached to the pulling device (horse, ox, tractor, etc...). The second photo shows the tool can sway from side to side, with the amount of sway being determined by the multiple bolt holes. As pictured, the amount of sway would be the maximum allowed, with the sway being reduced as you insert the bolt/drawpin into successive holes which would draw the two pieces closer together. I would certainly like to know for sure how it was intended to be used.
Not sure what it is but just because the two pieces are together in the photos doesn't mean they were meant to be that way. Could be two ends of something.

It looks like something that would hold a spool of like carpet or twine or rope
ReplyDeleteIt is a wooden wagon hitch. Designed to couple a split tounge receiver to a pinned receiver.
ReplyDeleteBelieve you are correct.

From the big nails I'm thinking it was from a wooden wagon. There were lots of iron bits in wooden wagons.
ReplyDeleteA bridge joint?

Is it a re-railer? Something used to get a train car back on the rails?
ReplyDeleteIs it a track switch from the train yard?
