✅ SOLVED Old axle to what?

[diggingthe1]

Went hiking, I found this today with my boys, hauled it out pretty far with their help. Anyone know what it is from? Thanks in advance. I like those iron tones sometimes!! It sure was a heavy! It is 5 feet across. I would be happy with a wagon , but maybe it’s from a stage coach!!! It was found in a stage stop kind of place!

per Wikipedia: Square steel nuts were common on machinery of the late 19th through mid 20th century. Doesn't answer your question what the axle came from, just a ball park time frame for it. Would make a nice wall hangar.

Thanks for the posts, Buggy axel will definitely make an excellent wall hanger!

Agree. Front axel. still has some part of the hound on it, so it was intended to turn. Back axel would not turn.
