Anyone know what this is? Or is part of?

Found this out back on the acreage.

No clue what it is, but looks pretty cool

one end looks like a keyed shaft. I was thinking maybe some type of tiller or stump grinder?

I'm no farmer, but it looks like a section from some kind of tillage tool. Rotary hoe of some sort...

Looks like an old head off of a catfish pond aerator.

Appears to be driven by a flat belt from a power source, so probably a stationary device.

It is a spike tooth cylinder from a combine. They also came with rasp bars instead of those spikes. The grain is cut and pulled up the mouth of the combine head into this thrashing cylinder where those spikes turn between a similar set that is mounted stationary on the bottom of the combine. If you remove the gathering head from a combine, you would see this big wheel.

Gary is right - it's a spike-tooth cylinder from a grain thrasher. I'd guess from the flat belt pulleys it's actually from a stationary thrasher rather then a combine. I've never seen a combine that used flat belts on small pulleys like that.
