Re: [CBQ] FW: Wheel

[Jan Kohl <j.kohl@wildblue.net>]

I would say farm implement as well.  I've not seen a single-piece cast wheel on any farm tractor (doesn't mean there wasn't one).  However, it is apparent that it is an axle-supported wheel, as it has a bearing cap on one side and what looks like bearings inside.  I was initially thinking factory machinery/conveyors, but most of them would not have been axle-supported wheels.

Cheers!

I think it is the front wheel of an early tractor. There are several similar wheels on the Castle Graphics site such as http://transport.castlegraphics.com/displayimage.php?album=2&pos=83

Hi all,

 

This one stumped me…initially I thought it might be a wheel from a farm implement, but I’m not sure.

 

If anybody has an idea of what this wheel might be for, please chime in!!

I bought some old Railroad Property and was told it was part of the old CB&Q line. I found an old Railroad wheel on the property. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it was from. It is a relatively small wheel, measuring 29" tall. The lip or rib isn't along the inside of the wheel that you typically see, it runs through center of the wheel. I have attached some pictures. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
