✅ SOLVED Iron Machinery Parts?

[Delpirt]

Anyone have any idea on these items? They were found in an area that has never been accessible to automobiles so I'm guessing that they are not old car or truck parts. No visible markings on any of them. The top piece has a couple of flathead screws with square nuts that go through the curved side. The rod in the center with two wheel sort of things has a large square nut on each end. Bottom piece has no fastening hardware on it, only the two protruding hooks. Magnet sticks to all of them. Any help is most appreciated!

The long rod with the heavy washer is an old masonry wall tie.

Awesome! I was on the hunt for an old building that burned down so I must have been close! Thanks for the info!

The bottom piece looks like the front or side decoration off of a wood stove. It slipped into place and was held by the 2 clips. This way you could lift it off for cleaning. Because it's 30" wide or there abouts I would say that most likely it was from the front, between the front legs but it could be from the top or side also. Some were really ornate and you may see a hint of chrome on it somewhere most likely. Probably to keep the ashes from hitting the floor so it was below the door. Could be from a cook stove but there's no telling unless you find the rest of the stove..

Thanks Reed! The thought that it might be part of a stove did cross my mind when I first pulled it out of the ground. Glad to see I was in the ballpark. No Chrome on it but it does appear to have some traces of a white or cream colored enamel on it.

Thanks for the input guys! 2 down 1 to go!

I know I've seen the last piece (triangular shaped). I think it might have been at the base of a lever that raises the depth for plowing drags. Notice in the first pic, the tiangular/rounded shaped things at the bases of the arms/levers, except yours doesn't have teeth to lock in place. It might have had a threaded knob to lock into place.
I also pondered the hydraulic lift lever on an old tractor, like in 2nd pic. notice how it holds the lever in place by tightening the leveler knob.

I just noticed the 2nd pic doesn't show a leveler knob. Our CASE 530 tractor has a knob. Basically it can be set in any place to stop the lever from going past a certain point.

Thanks for the input Johunt! I know the part you're referencing. What seems odd about it is that there are no teeth. There are a few bolts that held something on to the curved side but I would imagine those teeth would have been cast as one piece instead of bolt on. Especially since the bolts are intact and not very big. I'll post some different pics of this piece later today from different angles.

I didn't mention the top piece because I was not sure but on the old cook stoves up top they had warming ovens and on some of these they had doors that were ¼round that would open by rolling up into the top and out of the way. This is what this may be but I wasn't sure enough to post on it. It has the hole in the right place for a rotating door and it is the right shape and everything, the square nut could be where one side was attached. But this would have been mounted inside the warming oven to the door and just moved up and down. That was good that the other piece was an enameled

Good info again Reed! The top piece was found just a few feet from where the bottom piece was found. I'm going to call this one solved! Thanks a ton for your help guys!
