    Very heavy for its size ... my hand should give you some dimension. Probably weighs about 50 lbs. I found this cleaning up my old home place in Arkansas. It seems to be perhaps piece of a farm machine or sawmill.

      The pointed end would poke into cut end of log, like a lathe?
    2. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 8 years ago
      It's a "tailstock" off something. Would be a strange lathe to me if that's what it goes on.
    3. Dizzydave Dizzydave, 8 years ago
      I was thinking more along sawmill...
    4. Recordmantime, 8 years ago

    27. junkmotors, 8 years ago
      You have what is called a Post Drill press and it would be mounted in a barn when electric wasn't around
    28. pastorjeff77, 8 years ago
      So what powered it? It appears to have been belt driven.
    29. junkmotors, 8 years ago
