What is it? Old piece of iron

[JayGinSC]

Hi everyone,
I found this iron about 2 feet away from the old summer kitchen on my property. Any ideas what it could be?

Thank you.

Steering gear perhaps Something that was limited travel.

It makes me think of a sector gear, used in steering systems, but which one... no idea.

Thanks for the welcome! This was an old farm so I will keep looking into the steering gear direction and see what else I can dig up.
