✅ SOLVED hinge mechanism...farm?

Also from the same area as my 1771 half pence and grinder item was this weird looking item. It has a pivot hole that I'm sure it was mounted to but no clue what this would have been used for.

Looks like a set of detents to hold a shift lever at a particular setting.

Old steering part? Or throttle part?

Depth gauge for a plow, cultivator or disc?

Dug out of a farm field so extremely likely. Thanks.
