stovestoker Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I picked this up yesterday on my weekly scrapyard scrounging session. I thought maybe I could shape it into a horn, as I am using a stump anvil. The thing is pretty dense, just wondering what it might be or where it came from. there are 3 or 4 more in the pile.

ThomasPowers Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Does the hidden end have provision for a shaft as well? Possible roll off rollers in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovestoker Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 No it may have, it looks flat but chewed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Small rock crusher tooth? Such as used on an excavator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstar.esq Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Possible counterweight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yahoo2 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Looks like a locking pin or a hinge pin, the rust is from years of wet dirt trapped around the ends. something like a fixed drawbar will have a pin like this driven up from underneath and fixed in place with a plate. There is not much wear on the lubricated surface so the joint hasn't moved much in its lifetime.. Is the thread supposed to be there or is it a stud that has rusted in and the head has sheared off trying to undo it? If it was out of the arms on a loader bucket or a rear mounted tine ripper there would be a lot of metal missing around that shiny central band where the arm rotates.

Dogsoldat Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 almost makes me think of a ram for a hydraulic cylinder of some sort. possibly a track tensioner piston but the threaded end isn't quite right for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Smith Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Some kind of fixed shaft, Both ends of the chrome show bearing/bushing marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Looks like a lock pin to me, very similar in looks to the ones that hold excavator buckets on. A hydraulic ram attaches to the threaded pin and presses it into or out of the bucket attachment point, Of course that's just what I think, I could be wrong. Frosty The Lucky.

stovestoker Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Sorry for the delay in getting a couple more pics. enjoying this game of" name that what's it" Thanks for playing. Part of the enjoyment of the scrapyard is pondering what kind of life all that steel had before it arrived there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnie Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Some sort of locking pin I think. You can see where it has been captivated and the small section thats been weathered. If I am right its gotta be of a quality grade steel.I could be wrong, sometimes its easy to be wrong just ask my wife! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovestoker Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Well I looked at this thing again last night. I think it is case hardened. the shiny part is about 3000sths thick. that part is hard as hell. The end that is chewed and the core is exposed I think is pretty high carbon steel. I put the grinder on the core and sparks flew. I was going to use this as a horn but now I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossdawg Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think it is a fenorkel off of a jeezinblatt. Just my .02........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arftist Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think it is a fenorkel off of a jeezinblatt. Just my .02........... Exactly. It definitely used to be part of something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
