HEY, look what I found!!!

Welllll I know it's Moline--- a wagon wheel or tractor wheel??? We just bought 100 acres and I found it a few weeks ago and lost it until today, anyone have any idea what exactly it is or maybe what it belongs on. I can tell you it is about 3ft wide but the rest is buried so I couldn't say how tall it is and there's a lot more buried there, it appears to be a huge piece maybe a whole axle???

Cool!
I live out in the country out by a lot of old fields and there is a well out in some trees that has been there a really long time... There is a bucket out there is so rusted that if you try to move it will brake.

My best guess is that it was made by Moline Plow Company:

Looks like it could go with a tractor they built (?) - google "Moline Universal tractor" and you'll see what it looks like.

That's my guess, anyway, lol! Very cool find!

Thanks! I looked at the universal tractors and Im starting to believe that's what it is, we are going to get the dully back there and pull it up. I had no idea our land would end up being a treasure trove! Cant wait to see what we find once we start tilling and building. I will post pics once we get it up and out!

I wonder how old it is. It looks antique. Yes, please let us know what the rest of it looks like when you pry it up.

it looks like 'potential' to me!
I hope it is in good shape!
