found this....

[skylarkguy]

I found this in the dirt while clearing an area along my creek. Anyone have insight as to what it might have been in it's previous life?

Guards for a sickle mower.

Finally an easy one...I hardly ever can identify old rusty farm machinery parts... but that one was pretty easy..

James,

I don't appreciate your comment. I finally got one and you denigrate my success by labeling the ID as an "easy one."

Sorry Steve... I never thought of it that way...But hey, that was a pretty easy ident, you gotta admit.

James,

Yes, it had to be easy in order for me to make the ID, but there was no need for your comment to that effect.

[skylarkguy]

Thanks...sorry it was so easy...i'll try to make the next one more difficult.

Bring it on.

You guys are killing me.

Bring it on.

Steve

How come you didn't tell him it was from a 1932 John Deere?

I don't want to be perceived as a show-off.

Here is one from the past. I found it in the dirt and cleaned it up. What is it from?

 

[T_e_r_r_y]

This will be a guess, (city boy) but I would say gate hinge. Gate hangs between nut and sliding collar.
Collar gets tightened down on pipe.

What he didn't mention, Steve, is that it was an easy one because you told us what it was. James didn't 'really' know ... right, James? :laughing:

Oh, my, I have been called out!:shocked:

That would be the handle from a scythe, minus the wood. Another easy one. The nut on the end was set into the end of the wood of the handle and just turn the wood to tighten the handle. Identifying these old items, it helps being OLD.

I will not speak ill of James other than to note a major flaw in his character -- his promiscuity in offering gratuitous endorsements of bogus theories regarding pallet formations.

Well... all of those theory's were just so darn convincing.:confused3: :laughing:

I must defend James' honour regarding his asserted promiscuity! (Please note that this defence pertains only to this accusation as I cannot speak to any other instances of his profligateness). His endorsements were continually offered to encourage the pursuit of different avenues of Pallettology and his efforts should be lauded.

This is in contrast to a "certain someone" who continually obfuscated suggestions and lines of inquiry by bringing up the 'scienceness' (or lack thereof) of a proposed theory.
