I’ve stumbled on four of these. The steel band rim is bolted on, and is about 38mm wide.
Any thoughts on what they’re off, please? (I know, I know - Gaso’s first truck, some may say…) |

Possibly from an old horse drawn farm hay mower (or similar farm equipment such as a horse drawn hay baler) Do a Google image search on "horse drawn farm hay mower" .

Could be anything, there were plenty of old wheels like that laying around when I was growing up on the family farm. My guess is a hay rake similar to below.

You’re both probably right about farm equipment. As I’m in a coal town, was first thinking maybe from an old mine cart. They’re not all the same either - my error.

Do the two wheels without axle shafts appear to fit on the two with axle shafts?

I don’t think they do, but haven’t checked fully.
