Heavy Cast Iron Piece with Bolts in CW site???-View Added

[VOL1266-X]

We found these items while searching for CW artillery relics. Note the heavy cast iron pieces with the bolts through them. Any ideas? I found a second one too one. I guessed they were from a bulldozer but I'm not sure. I do know they are heavy duty as I hauled them to the truck to give the landowner. Thanks, Quindy.

I made a rough sketch of the two pieces with bolts running through them. The holes go all the way through each cast piece.

The second from the left is a faucet nut wrench

Thanks Rob. We were puzzled about that one too. HH, Quindy.

What does the bottom side of the thing with bolts look like, Quindy?

Rob, I left them with the landowner but the bottom is flat and there's a "tunnel" filled with dirt on the opposite side from the flat bases with the bolts through them. The flat bases are back to back and the round top "tunnels" are opposite from the bases. They are one piece cast. Quindy..

I will have to check, but it looks similar to reach plate mount from a wagon. I am off to dinner...check when I get back.

Back to the drawing board. I can't find the piece that I thought it was in my catalog, but it may be on the reach plate that I dug. I will have to find it and see.

Looks like parts of farm equipment to me ,The triangle piece from a cultivator and the spike beside it from a spike tooth harrow.
That must not be a Zippo lighter, too rusty.

Looks concave to me, Here are pics of parts Im talking about..

agree with the faucet wrench post, it was first thought
I think is modern, can buy it at home depot

the item with the two bolts - clamp
I believe its used to clamp down / crimp on a plastic water line - modern
tighten it up and it allows for repairs to joints down the line
after repairs, the clamp is removed, house Waiter service is restored
plastic water lines have a memory and will mostly restore the water flow

is the triangle piece concave or completely flat? If it is concave it could be some kind of row sweep?

It's curved and is a cultivator plow point from a horse drawn plow. The puzzle remains the cast pieces with the bolts through them. By the way, the round iron piece on the right side is a CW Type II 3 in. Hotchkiss base from an exploded shell that I posted on Today's Finds. That's why we were hunting that field. Thanks for looking , Quindy.

Would,nt the jaw end have to swivel to 90 degrees from handle to be a faucet wrench? It does not look like it does.

1266X.. The piece with the bolts thru it is more than likely some type of fixture or bracket from an old wagon or old farm machinery that was bolted to the wood frame and the wood is long rotted away. Alot of these wagon parts are hard to ID as they are not seen in the present day & time..
