Any ideas?

Back at a High School that sits on a Confederate fort in Louisiana. This was found about 10ins down. I have no clue what it is. Anyone have any ideas. Its heavy. The center hole goes all the way threw and i see no threads inside.

Yeah looks like piping of some kind. Maybe sewer pipes

Looks like a different metallic composition on the inside, and it also looks worn. I think by the design and by inside characteristics that it is some sort of shaft support or a kinpin socket, or something along those lines.

Check the inside to see if the material is softer than the outside, if it is softer sorta like lead it could be Babbit a bearing material, which would confirm Creskol thoughts on it being for a kingpin/shaft or possibly axle application.

Iv never seen anyone around here doing it except another FF i work with. Saw a video on youtube of a guy in bossier also. Anyway just wondering, see ya around sometime maybe. Good luck with the ID, looks like some sort of sewer pipe fitting to me ?

The piece looks like it broke off something. Heavy duty whatever it was... Construction equipment?

Where did you find it?

Does your toilet still flush and water drain in your house

Looks kind of like a gate valve. http://www.dultmeier.com/images/prodpage/KE-GTF-S.S.jpg
