metal wheel thing

[Boomdeyada]

The lady I bought my land from years and years ago, said I could have this as I thought it was very neat. The homestead goes back to the late 1700s Central Texas.
However I have not a clue as to what it is or what it was used for.

From outer wheel to outer wheel its 19.25”
From inner where to inner wheel its 13”
The shaft in the middle that has the wood under it is 33”
From outer hub to outer hub is 30.50”

On just one of the wheels the wheel has holes in it, the other wheel has no holes. I thought that was odd that one would and one would not.

Please check out all the pictures. I would love to know what this thing is as I have had it for years.
Thanks

Thanks for all of your replies, This thing could be a number of things. Just that everything I have seen so far is not a match,
I have been around the net a few times and nothing matches. I may never know.
For sure its some sort of farm equipment. I think I will keep looking
Thanks

Did you check it "closely" for numbers? Sometimes what appear to be insignificant numbers can often be a clue. If it's a late 1800s impliment, and patented, the patent numbers will start with a zero, followed by six other numbers.

For example ... 0123456 is for an 1872 item.

Thanks.
