August 6, 201213 yr I believe that is a counter weight for a John Deer tractor...seems to small for that unless a push mower :P Is it the round weight? Still seems small, 5-6" across,3-4" tall?
August 6, 201213 yr Author If I remember corectly the tacks are 1 1/8 apart. I think it might be part of some type of stamping assembly maybe, but as far as I know John Deere never produced an anvil other than a London pattern and scythe pattern
August 6, 201213 yr Have to see it better; but what about an anvil for making up some of the odd agricultural chain that was used---like the sq chain used of manure spreaders?. Anyway not for forging hot metal on.
August 8, 201213 yr Author Thats what I was thinking. Some type of chain jig or something along those lines. I'm probably gonna take a firepot (cracked beyond usability), a small blower up to the auction house, and maybe an anvil to sale as each, then a set to get my maximum profit
August 9, 201213 yr Author Sounds like it'd fit right in with my other conversation peices on my shelf.. That needs to be replaced badly
August 9, 201213 yr It's a sickle bar "anvil" as smokey says!!! I thought there were more farm boys on here!!!!!
