Going through an old parts room and cannot identify this part. It appears to be driveline related. Differential or steering clutch part?
Welcome to HEF, Ray ! I have no idea what is for.
Also no ideas but a couple suggestions, first post the picture with a ruler next to or on it to give a size to work from. Second any hints at what kinds of equipment may have also been owned or worked on by where ever this thing was found?
Frambus support bushing for a 1936 Massy Harris.
I thought they didn't go to a 4 slot bushing till 39. Then the slot was eliminated in 1950 when Ferguson bought in, and they went to an oval shape to reduce left hand thrust
Not by my manual, it states on page 78 it was a new design starting in July of 1936.
it was later made obsolete by the cardinal gram meters.
Yeah but a federal judge put a stay on the cardinals idea.
If it's not massey harris related, I'm guessing irrigation well. Are you in an irrigation area? what material is the center bushing? the rest looks bronze.
It is a cartridge for a hydraulic pump, probably Vickers, that style was used on many Caterpillar and other applications, if in good condition is worth some $$, that looks like a Vickers part number, but not in my older Caterpillar cross reference. There is usually a part number hand scribed on the outside of the ring, that will help find the uses, the bronze end plates could be used on many different applications.
