Guess where this came from.

[Geo-TH,In]

I'll give you a clue, it came off a tractor.

 

[Cold Beer]

Wheel off from Fred Flintstones tractor?

 

[Wile E]

Ummm....Was it in a tire for ballast?
Rear 3 pt weight box?

Hey......
Haven't noticed you posting..... Going to that big flea market first part of sept. Should I look for anything (clocks, etc)??

George,
I think the rock is a weight from a john deere tractor... Owners tied it to them and rolled em in the nearest lake/river when they ran outta money for parts :shock:

A mudball from between the front tires on a narrow front end.

Dave2,
Thanks for the offer. I really don't need anything from the flea market. We have a 10 day flea market starting the first weekend in OCT. Besides the food, I go there looking for a tool I don't have. Well that's almost impossible to find something new. I have an addiction to tools. Good eats.

I like to use things in a way they were not intended to be used, like the walker. It works really well. The big wheels roll easly in the grass.

I went to Goodwill, a second hand store, and picked up a shower stool. That's the greatest find. I can put it in aluminum fishing boat and sit higher. Lower the legs and work on the brakes of the truck or work on the mower. Raise the legs and use as a ladder. Best of all use it as a foot rest when I'm in my pole barn office chair. Who would have thunk, a handicap stool would have so many uses.

As for the guesses, a few close ones, but as yout no one has got it.

How long should I let the guessing go on before disclosing the answer. This is the only one that I've ever seen.

George

That offer was to coldbeer but actually anyone..... Can pick up some neat clocks and multiband radios (old wooden cased ones) for dirt cheap cause they ain't in style no more....

May as well tell what it is before someone calls it a kidney stone.....

 

[rrlund]

Indian s#x stone.

 

[John-MI]

Looks like a puff ball mushroom.

 

[jon f mn]

There is nothing to judge scale by so I'll say from the air cleaner.

 

[641Dave]

Is it a hornet's nest? ...if so, I hope you're alright!

 

[sotxbill]

maybe a really big albino mud dubber nest??

Or a rock caught up in the duals or front wheels that got a lot of "shaping"

 

[Stephen Newell]

Gear shift knob.

 

[bill mart]

came from inside a tire?

 

[Wheat Farmer]

I'm with you Jon. That dent looks like the bottom of a 8-12" air cleaner bowl.

 

[Geo-TH,In]

bill mart,

You are correct, came from the inside of a tire. Bought backhoe used and couldn't keep air in the front tire. I call it a mud roller.

hat reminds me of an old "story" about a guy buying a new car & it has a rattle in door. Dealer says finds nothing wrong. Bugs him until finally he takes door apart & finds a coke bottle in there with a note in it..."how long did it take yo to find this?" :lol:

I worked in a factory that built police cars. They had to have extra supervisor's patrol the assembly lines when we built the cop cars. The line worker's loved to put cans, extra hardware or coins in places that would rattle. Nothing to disable the car, but they loved to fxxk with the "man".

yup, I spent years in assembly plants working for a tooling supplier. Remember one stint in a Jeep plant where a female line worker would have a snack and throw the wrapper into the floor of the car as she was putting in the carpet. Very subtle and unless you were watching her close you wouldn't even notice. Saw here do it numerous times. Found a neatly folded candy bar wrapper under a radiator (on the support rail) of a Pontiac one time. That's your good ole quality UAW worker for you.
