Not sure if this is tractor-related or not, but I know that a previous owner used to have some variety of MM tractor.
Found this item at the edge of the woods, on the way to where the old-and-nearly-gone outhouse still sits. The cracked center piece appears to be hard, solid rubber. Looks like a thin ring of chrome around that. The two tabs seem to suggest it was some sort of cap. Radiator? Fuel? Whatever it is, it's fairly heavy for its size. Weight of this piece is 7.9oz., 223.6g for you metric folks, and 3 7/8" OD not including the tabs. Also, it is NON-magnetic. Looking into the 4 small holes on underside, a spring is clearly visible inside - which to me suggests a radiator cap.
Found in the same scoop of dirt was an old, broken bolt about 6" to 7" long, just a few threads remaining, and about 1.25" diameter with a VERY thick hex head. There's lots of old trash around this place, as it is so far out that there was no place to haul trash/junk to other than dumping in the woods.
Just taking a guess, I'd say it's from a radiator. ...But what kind??
