Brass Tractor part?

[jmevans]

Dug this up on my property yesterday im guessing old tractor part since my property was a 80 acre farm in 1860. anyways if anyone knows please do tell lol

I know it isn't but it sure reminds me of a motor cycle peg. Anyway - it might help if you take two more pictures - one of the end (can't tell if it is squared or rounded - falls out of your picture) and the top end (square). It sure looks like it screws into something and might have a nut on the other end. It looks so darn familiar!

ok so the top as you can kinda see is square and the bottom is tapered with a small hole that goes all the way through it

oops, my post here should have been deleted because I made an error.

Are those threads ? From what I can see they appear to be running horizontal and not down at any angle. Looks like it drops(?) into position ? I agree, it looks familiar and I think I saw one out in my garage recently in some of my dad's stuff. I spent my younger years on my dad's farm so I have alot of his stuff. Then it has a # 7 stamped on it. The hole have any wear around it ?, like for a cotter pin or something similar ?

Lower connection on a 3 point tractor hitch.

I can see a slight resemblence, but then again, what I see is for modern era. You may have a point SkaBa.
But I would expect it to have a larger hole in it, but he is saying it is small.

 

[jmevans]

yeah there is threads just below the square and the hole that runs through the length og it is about the size of a sewing needle

SkaBa is right, it looks like a drawpin from a 3 point hitch. May be wrong, but sure looks like one.

 

[SkaBa]

Needle size hole running length wise? Not a draw pin then. Sure has the appearance though.

How big is it?

Holds a spool of thread then.

Well if it's brass it may be a water nozzle of some sort - especially with a "needle sized hole" running the length of the piece - or it could be a jet off a carburetor, a nozzle of a fertilizer.... How big is the piece? 1 inch or 16 inches?

I could think of several uses for it, it could be part of a antique mechanical puller (but it is not steel), it could be a suspension pin (like on a leaf spring), it also could be part of a pully or bearing installer, also the hole might be a greese port. But with it being a non spark part a nozzle, valve, etc part fits as does a mechanisum for a canon or maybe a large firearm.

Nozzle in a tractor carb? (Part #14 below). We need a size or photo with known object like a quarter or ruler.

 

[jmevans]

ok so it is 3 and a half inches long and 1 and a quarter inch round
