Naw, it's definitely the outer front bearing from an old VW bug.
My guess is it's a bearing off a large ship, maybe a prop bearing. New South Wales......Ship building?
I've seen truck bearings that big.
Yep something special that one my son got it when he was doing his auto apprenticeship and I think it came out of a large mining truck or loader axle or even a gearbox shaft I'll ask him and let you know. (There is a huge open cut / underground gold mine locally)
But it is perfect I have those rubber pads stuck on the bottom and the top to stop scratching and sliding not that it slides very much a it weighing in at nearly 10kg (about 22lbs)
Ah yes earth moving equipment would get this large. Actually have a dear friend in Australia and buying and selling mining equipment is his bag. That's quite a chunk of hardened steel there !
The ultimate paperweight.
Hey don't put yourself down mate I like it cos it is nice and neat and simple mind you I would be getting the case standing on a piece of board or some sort of flat surface instead of the carpet. mate. Personally I don't like floor level stuff too much crud down there even if it is only the 50,000 dead skin cells you shed a day LOL!! (depending on how big you are of course LOL!!
Oh and what is that about linking??
