What is this?

This was found in my daughters driveway after we visited.  It was greasy. The small hole is threaded. Lenghth is about an inch and a half.

It is either from a self propelled Honda mower or a Toyota vehicle.

It doesn't look like a moving part since no wear on it.  Some kind of shim that mates a curved or angular surface to a flat surface??  Maybe a tie rod part???  Can't you tell by operating the machines that this is missing?  OK what is it Del?  You must have a clue.  At first my guess would have been lawn mower, now I am thinking the Toyota....

It doesn't seem to have affected any of the toyota vehicle, and appeared the day after I mowed the daughter's grass with her honda mower.  The small hole in the middle is threaded and had a fair amount of grease in it.   

If it is for the mower we might find out soon since it is nearly due to be mowed again.   Their turn this time. 

Some sort of adjuster for the self propelling feature is my current best guess.  

Beyond that I honestly have no clue.   I suppose Honda might have some sort of manual online that might show it.  Maybe I will look for that tonight.

I already did.Nada. Zip. I couldn't find anything......they use basically the same drive systems as a Toro and Ariens, and there's no part that looks anything like that in those systems. (Oh, have I had a lot of those apart) Can't wait to find out what it is. How big is that thing, Del? Hard for me to tell from pics...

Ya I sort of did a part look over of some Honda mowers too.  And I agree it does look like it could be something for the drive system.  So it is threaded inside.  That does mean something.  Hopefully it wasn't something to hold the power steering pump or alternator in place on the Toyota.   Or a front end part.  How about an emergency brake part?  Or motor mount part?  I am really guessing now Del....   :D

It's a spline shaft. My guess is that the spline fits into a yoke and is held on place by a bolt threaded into the threads in the spline. When a lever is turned the spline raises and lowers along the taper and either causes something to be raised/lowered or connected/disconnected. It could be a PTO shaft, Clutch etc but that is where I would start to look.

Looks like a lock from a goose neck on a bike were it goes in the fork to lock into place 

 

He's right....it does!!!!!! I think pascooter nailed it! Oh, and welcome to HSO, pascooter!!! :)

Ya, I've seen those!! Dang!! A LOT like the fitting in the bike bar stem tube that snugs up against the stem base. And they are "hollow" like that, mine is!!!  Anyone have a BIG bike crash lately?? :P

Find the widget....

SEE? Gotta have faith in us here, Del!  Pascooter's first post...and he nails it! We better watch out, he might be one of those smart-alecky guys. :grin:

Now...you have to tell us where did it COME FROM?!

My guess is it came from a scrapped out bike.  When I took the trash out a week or so ago, while visiting, I noticed the remains of a small kid's bike in the can. I bet they took off the handlebars to get it in the can, and that piece fell on the garage floor and got kicked or dragged to the driveway from where it had fallen, perhaps by the flap on the back of the mower.

There it is!!!  Gee, maybe we should have a weekly  Del's "what is it" thread!  Hmmmm...............:whistle:

Who is going to volunteer to throw the junk on Del's yard every week?

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
