I think the big wide flat wheel is the PTO (Power Take Off) for belt driven accessory machines. There would have been a very wide leather belt for it if I am correct.

Those old wire wheels are awesome. Early 30s is the newest this car could be and it may date back to the late teens. No indication as far as make?

That is a very early truck chassis. Teens to early 20s. That may be the original bed leaning on it. On the floor is an axle from a horse-drawn wagon.

All that stuff is highly prized in certain circles. I love all the old tractor and machine shows. This one is a tractor that appears to be a newer unit made in the late 1930s if not newer.

Incredible that thing is just sitting and vulnerable. The access hatch doors got snagged because they are highly prized by collectors. I hope that thing made it somebody that will care for it.

This place looks like a scrappers dream. I can't believe no one has
