A little too thick but it looks like a bicycle cone wrench.

This is an accessory of an important  tool that I use in my shop. It is not a power tool or machine. I have a few of those tools and this accessory. This one obviously not used often. The tool in question is not only ingenious but an important part of The American Industrial Revolution as one of its great inventions that contributed in helping with the manafacturing of many other items.

Ford flat head V8-60.

Bingo! Forgot that I had posted this or I'd have come back sooner.

 

Figured someone would realize it's a V8-60, but I didn't think anyone would get the Brazilian part of the story!

Can we have the size and is it cast iron?  It almost looks like plastic.

Looks like it belongs to some type of press.

The four corner holes having guide rods through them, with the flat side down, and the piece sticking off the back connecting to/being a handle or connection whatever makes it travel.

That would be quite the swap.. If they were a bit cheaper and easier to come by, I'd consider it!

 

Probably be better suited for a JD or a Cub Cadet since they usually have the engine sitting the correct way.

I seem to always be late to this show.  I was with Kyle thinking part of a press.... I’m short on another idea so I’ll continue to follow along (though probably way behind!)

It appears to be vintage Shop Smith gray.... but I don't know what part on that it would go to.
