You mean too heavy for aluminum, right? Perhaps brass, but it's hard to tell with the caked on dirt. It strikes me as the type of item which would have a part number or other info cast into it, which might be revealed with further cleaning.

yes, too heavy, got it soaking in the sink now with dawn dish detergent.

After I cleaned it for a while. On the back side it does look like it has a greenish color to it at one place and its flat on one side. the other side looks like it has a lip around the edge. I don't know anything about tractor motors, just wondering if it could be something like a harmonic balancer?

Showed pics to a older gentleman I work with, and he thinks there is another piece just like it that joins together. He thinks it's either an old inside of a wagon wheel, or a crank type of thing to pull a bucket of water from a well. Oh well
