Big iron thingy

Found this on an old dirt road deep in the woods. It's really massive . Probly weighs 75 to 100 lbs. to heavy for me to pick up.

Have you seen ax men, looks like part of their pulley system for pulling logs.

Lol... Yeah I've watched that show a few times. I was thinking maybe a dredger because it wasn't far from the river.

Likely from dragline bucket , connects 2 cables to 2 chains. draglines are often used for dredging.

Could be from a dragline depending on location, but without knowing the cable size or anything, it could also be from an old steam powered excavator or crane. Is it 1" cable or larger?

 

[iukams]

It's at least 1" or possibly bigger.
