Not really any idea of what they are, I have found quite a few over the years and most have had a piece of wire attached to the one of the holes.

The only thing I can think of is part of a stop cock for the cattle water troughs out in the fields although it looks to be quite elaborate.

....unless anybody can throw up any ideas?

it looks like an adjustable piece similar to a car alternator plate that you bolt up through the slot when tension is right  Roll Eyes

That would make sense, broken off a tractor alternator/dynamo?
