I think I saw something like it in an episode of the waltons once....
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

My guess would be the front wheels and axel from an OLD tractor?
Who the f**K tightened this up!

Old tractors had no front brakes.
Possibly and rickety old car??

CLUES
My belief is that the two rod ends are tie rod ends, but others (on another forum I frequent) say there's no king pin so it can't be a
front axle (they think the rods are to actuate the brakes).
Didn't some old cars have very small king pins - about the size of a child's fist?
Also, the brake drums look quite large in diameter for their width - I associate that with 1930's cars.
Anybody else see clues?
These wheels were with the axle (no proof they fit the axle, however):

Yep the wheels look right, splined hubs, as per axle. The rods hanging out of the drums are the brakes. Look like ally back plates. Worth pickig
up, identifying and sticking on eBay

Hubs are for Rudge-Withworth wheels, no kin pins which make it the rear axle off a fwd, Axle is quite narrow but the brakes are fairly big indicating
sporting pretensions. Look of the design and casting sugest its from from the period 1925 to about 1935
Only british fwd drive car that fits the bill is Alvis
