What do I have?

I was curious if anyone knows what these wheels are for. I found them in a scrap pile and seen the Case eagle. The numbers on the wheels are the same but the bends are different on the rod.

Have similar wheels and brackets that are gauge wheels for a mounted corn cultivator. The wheels on mine have a flat face though.

Used on a corn planter, I think.

Interesting, when I found the first one I thought it was a tail wheel for a plow but after I found the second and seen the arms are different I was clueless. I will keep digging and figure it out.

They are gauge wheels for the rear gang of a mounted cultivator, SC/DC era, as casecollector stated. The crowned wheel may be an option for listed crop, replacing the flat wheel that was more common I believe. The wheels may also have been used on other mounted equipment of that era, but I have not seen them on anything other than the rowcrop scuffler. Depth of the front gangs was controlled by the levers on the lift links running from the eagle hitch.
