The post below reminded me about this one. Anyone have any ideas? I found it in the fence row wired on top of an old horse drawn stalk chopper.

Quefan is correct, elevator counter weight. We had a bracket with posts that fit the holes to use as rear weight for a garden tractor with a snowblower. They were different thicknesses weighing anywhere from 50 to 85 lbs ea.
 
Can't tell without looking at the other side, but that looks a lot like the starter weight for the front of an Oliver 550.
 
There's no way you'd want this on a garden tractor. It'll squash it. I can pick up 85 pounds easily and I can barely budge this thing. I used a skid loader to put it there and decided it looks fine right where it is.

hen searching suggestions for my weight I found elevator weights shaped like yours.
 
I agree with the others that it's an elevator weight. I used to have about 20 of them. They were right at 50 lbs apiece.
I used them for all kinds of things - weight on my disc, winter weight in my pickup, even some rear ballast on the 2N I had at the time. Very handy. I still have 4 of them out in the weeds.
