Vintage self unloading wagons

Anyone know what make this is? Was used by my dad and older brothers on the farm. Been sitting around and we are now cleaning out buildings. Just wondering if it's something anyone would be looking for.

It appears to be a re-purposed drive/transmission for a coal stoker.

Motor mount at the top, drive pulley on one side, and shaft on the other side to accept a fan.

There's a shearpin inside the antique car-looking "hubcap" with a hex head, seen in the lower photo.

Note the stoker gearbox towards the left side of the photo below.

My bother says it had an electric motor on it. They would pull wagon up to silo filler and connect this to the wagon, when it ran the silage would slowly move to the rear of the wagon so they could use a hook fork to drag it down to the drag on the silo filler.There is a shifter that seems to have three speeds.
