What's this part for?

[Absent Minded Farmer]

It looks to have the same coating on it as what you would find in an engine, transmission or rear end casting. Can't quite tell what the part number is.

Thanks,

Looks like an idle or tightened for a belt, something that runs on the back side of a v-belt. Looks like the face was machined, a skim cut across it. That a red oxide sealer what was used on ALL castings mostly so they could be stored outside, and also so that any burned on sand could not eventually fall off and contaminate the oil in engines and transmissions. It was applied via DIPPING, whole casting dipped in a large tank of the sealer.
Is the center bore machined? Typically it would have a bearing pressed into it.

Looks like it could be the bushing and holder that goes to rear of rear transmission counter shaft for the Independent PTO shaft on mechanical T/A tractors. Can't make out for sure what the number is on it to be sure what one if it is.

Don't know about this part, but if you look back on your "Round 2" post on 7-18, I did identify a part for you.

I think Slater has it .

My best take on the number is 37 maybe a 0 two unknown digits 9R2. The unknown digits might be 23. They didn't do a very good job placing the numbers in the mold. I was thinking it was possibly transmission related. There is a bushing with two oil grooves in the middle of it. I would venture to guess the three openings around the center hole are to let oil through? Maybe?

Oh, that's a sealant. Never knew that. Always thought it was paint. Neat! Yes, the center bore is machined & holds a bushing (bronze?) with two oil grooves. I'm thinking some kind of carrier bearing. Just not sure for what. I mentioned above what I think the part numbers might be. They didn't do a very good job with the mold for that part.

Rear bushing for countershaft on super MTA-450, they look identical but 2 styles were used depending upon whether it has lpto or transmission driven pto.

That sounds about right. After browsing the parts diagrams on AVspare, I wasn't able to come up with the right part number or at least the first two digits. The number should start with a 37 & then some unknowns followed by an R2. The numbers after 37 aren't completely gone. They're about half there. This is a tough one to figure out.

I like it!
