🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Big Holed Farm Wheel Marked F495

[SorenCoins]

Hey all! Just got access to a newer farm / homestead site in Colorado. Found this larger wheel-shaped object. Heavy iron piece. Assuming it’s some form of farm equipment. Any ideas?

It’s marked “F495”

Hi SorenCoins
I believe you have found an antique industrial caster...possibly for a Train Caster.
Was there a rail line nearby once upon a time?

It kind of looks like a seat off a tractor. Those often have holes in them.

Probably from a seed drill.

They're called warehouse or freight carts. That one was most likely made by Fairbanks.

This looks to be exactly like it! What exactly was this machine used for? There is actually an example of one of these left where the homestead used to stand at the site where I was detecting. I will have to check and see if it matches the one there!

Thank you everyone for the input!

Except this one exhibits the proctologist assistant's special in the middle. Designed to hold you in place? I'll go with the seeder thing
