Is this part of a tractor?

Found in a field. I'm sure someone here must know this one! Thanks

Thanks to both of you! I thought it had to be but I'm pretty clueless about the parts - though now I know one

grease fitting on front wheel hub, called a zert.

Excellent thanks Looks like an old tractor at least. But my neighbors who work that field still use some pretty old machines so who knows when it fell off.

If you like him you may want to mention you found it cause it keeps the dirt out of the bearings & keeps them from wearing out..........Otherwise sit back & watch his tire fall off someday.

lol! He's a nice guy - I'll mention it to him.

As a footnote and future reference, wagon wheels (the later steel ones) had those zert things, too.

Pretty cool Bob Thanks!

My neighbor will probably hold the more exact answer on this one.

By the way,it is a zerk fitting, not a zert. Google it.
