Something dad brought home from the mill 50+ years ago, and I still have it. He worked at Burlington Industries in Clarksville, VA and brought home truckloads scrap iron over the years. He would use this in his disc harrow he pulled behind the 8N Ford to prep for his huge garden.

Plowing a little snow today with my SCUT, and decided to dig it out to put on my 5 foot scrape blade. I decided today I could no longer pick it up, so used the bucket.

It appears to be cast to lay on 2 channel irons and maybe slide for a counterweight, but always been a mystery. It weighs 164 lbs.

Any ideas?
