ausfire Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I like to put labels on the things we drag out of our scrap piles. Does anyone know what this thing is? It has quite an attractive casting: GAR- WOOD, Detroit. Part of a GM truck perhaps? We stood it up as an ornamental piece, but 'twould be nice to know what it is.

pnut Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I haven't seen one in a while but it reminds me of a golf ball washer from a golf course. I'm sure that isn't what that is. I just looked it up and Garwood was a prolific manufacturer of tractor and farm equipment. I'll do some more checking and report back if my browser cooperates.

Steve Shimanek Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Looks like an axle or output shaft assembly of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Griffin Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I resized it but I don't see why not. Or, you can Google Gar Wood hydraulic lift and get a full size picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnut Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Aus, It looks like you have a rusty wonderland in the background. Pnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Indeed we have. I am lucky enough to have all the scrap steel and wrought iron I could ever need. And that's only a fraction of what went away to the scrap dealer. I saved what I could. And thanks, Randy. I have found the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
