Another what is it?

This was given to me today from an old farmstead.
There was a blacksmith shop there. I have never seen one of these before. I put soapstone on the part number to make it readable.

Something International built.

It is upside down. it swings from a support using the iron rod for a upper support. What is on the opposite end? The side latch looks like it would retain the beam against a wall or? Jim

Definitely a tongue from a horse drawn IHC grain binder.

That's what I was going to say - a grain binder tongue.

It is a tongue from a binder, most likely used to put the binder in transport position.

I think I have that part that has the latch spring on it. Can't figure out what it is for. Thought it might be part of an old saw sharpening jig.

(quoted from post at 19:20:48 12/18/14) Definitely a tongue from a horse drawn IHC grain binder.

cCormick-Deering Enclosed Gear Grain Binder (Type "E")
I have a setting up and operating manual with parts diagrams in the back that belonged to my grandfather. If I understand it correctly this tongue was removed for transport and a type "U" tongue truck (pair of wheels and another tongue) and rear axle was installed for transport. Definitely going to have to examine a binder closer at a show next year. The date on my manual is 5-28-37

It is the tongue (or pole) from an IHC horce-drawn grain binder. The end fitting latches into the front of the binder, the side braces take the evener for the single-tree and double-tree and the latch on the top of the pole latches onto the end of the platform when the pole is is the transport position

Yes, binder tongue. There is one lying on the floor right beside me now off my McCormick binder.

Ditto, looks a lot like the tongue on my binder of a different makes.

Last saw that on grandpa's binder before I went to the AF in 1961,knew what it was immediately!!!!!Sheesh I'm old(notice I eliminated the "getting")

Looks like the start of a tractor hitch for the horse drawn IH binder-start, meaning where is the tractor end of the tongue? I think I could tell you every step of the work you would do preparing to transport the binder when the field is done. What fun remembering that from the summer of 1953!

I know what you mean. I have to split big blocks of wood this afternoon into small enough blocks to pick up and put on my splitter. I am hurting just thinking about it.
