stevasaurus 22,229 #52 Posted April 15, 2019 I think they are dividers so as to make bins for stocking parts on a shelf. Probably from a Wheel Horse dealer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is just my guess. I searched for bin dividers several times but never found this exact shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I certainly can't say I know what kind of crazy stuff you've got around your collection but judging by the answers that you given for some of the things that have popped up I would say it's a safe bet you could successfully Avenge-ify your current state of angst.

Tractor boy 238 #67 Posted April 15, 2019 Hmm........snow blower auger shims? For when the auger starts wobbleing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 11,849 #68 Posted April 15, 2019 Curious as to what original container looked like. They would have to not only slide on bottom length but also on back edge at least so they would not tip over. One would assume narrow end is the front. Most of the time that type is fastened on bottom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,767 #69 Posted April 15, 2019 Yes, narrow edge to the front. but I'm thinking the front and back vertical edges were in a slot as they are perpendicular to the bottom edge. The folded edge being the top. The prize.....now that's the next mystery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 24,129 #72 Posted April 16, 2019 The East German judges are demanding photographic proof of said alleged parts bin function. Preferably NOS, but not required if verified by the Court of Wheel Horse Parts and Tool de International de Bin (WHIPdBIN). We await the final determination of the judges... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,229 #74 Posted April 16, 2019 I have to say, I saw what Cas guessed and I knew he was right. It was just the way he worded it that threw everyone off. The holder for those dividers would be a tray with a bottom and slots to fit those dividers about every 2"...put them where you need them. Now a days, these are made of plastic and you can find them in like hardware stores, etc. If Ed does not have the tray, I would make the tray out of wood with slots to fit. You guys can Pay-Pal me the prize...Thank You. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
