I found this today but no one I asked seems to know what it is. The land owner also didnt know.

What is it?

Those are field windings like in an alternater which it could be

Interesting, thank you! I found about 6 inches deep.

Looks a little small to be an alternator part. With the gear on the end I am guessing it is an electric motor.

It's a little DC motor missing the bottom cap:



Probably from a remote control car or small toy if I had to guess.

I didnt realize how small it was from the first pic but a motor for something

First thought was a motor for a slot car.

Small electric motor! I concur!

It looks like an rc car motor something that has a low kv for sure do to its size. I raced rc cars and it looks like the same size and spur gear.
