Missed you guys and need help with an old steel something or other

[lindasguy]

Haven't been on for A WHILE here. Moved back to Pennsylvania after being in Florida for 2 years. Moved back because the wife was coming back with or without me lol. Living in the sticks with no internet so I'm in town at the library. But anyways I need help with whatever this thing is I found. You guys are good so I have confidence in you. My sd card is messing up so I only have 3 pics for now. The handle is maybe about 16 - 18" long. It has gears and seems to ride on a track or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and glad to be part of the forum again!

Someone here will know exactly what that is. I don't, sorry. I do know its an old metal thing. I moved back to New Jersy from Florida for that same reason. Plus I hated Florida's lizard tank weather 8 months out of the year. I could say more but I need to respect the Floridians on here.

Its part of a heavy duty jack for tractors and such, you are missing the upright post with notches and the base,,,at least thats my best shot at it

Something like this complete rig

My first impression was a jack as well!!!  With industrial applications that would go on a track.

They are more commonly called Railroad jacks and the lighter duty ones are called Handyman jacks.
