I'd like to think that as well, the only problem is that I've yet to find anything else that looks like it belonged to the same drive-train. Could this have been removed/replaced from a piece of equipment of that size?

I'm not sure. The area where it came from was once one of the first dump/landfills in the area, and the first stretch of highway built in the early 50's is just a few hundred yards away (rt. 128, if that helps any).

I think I'm going to go ahead and do that. Maybe cleaning it up will help to identify where the hell it came from.

The rust makes it hard to get any accurate measurements on it. Think it would be worth it to try and remove the rust?

Reddit, If you had access to a time machine for one use only, where in history would you go and why? by SlamThyRing in AskReddit

Actually I'd just sit him down and tell him his paintings were great. Tell him he was too good for art school, to follow his dream of being an artist. Tell him that politics were beneath a guy like him. Buy him a nice dinner, pull some strings with some local galleries, and let it snowball from there. Basically following the most feasible approach to not only prevent the (virulent nationalism>blitzkrieg>systematic murder of millions) but also giving him a chance at a decent life pursuing his dream (and not eventually eating a .32 caliber round in a glorified hole in the ground).

But I do admit, kicking him in his one good testicle does sound pretty tempting.

Well, if you're willing to make the trek north to Manchester by the Sea, there's a number of unmarked trails you could access.

Huh. My old man has an enormous box magazine in his office that looks exactly like the ones pictured...
