What the heck is this !

[85Hokie]

This was found in the large warehouse that all the golf grass cutting equipment lives in.

My boss asked ME like I had a clue, "is this any good? Should we toss it?" I said - no, not yet! I have friends in low places that KNOW this stuff!!!

So - I have no idea - but the wheel spins freely and the little "guide" wheel would spin but not freely.

The heavy ended "blade" is dull - like it would go into soft material.

Can you be a little more specific?

Right handed spudder wheel hacker thing-ma-bob!
Way different than a left handed model.

You know this because the pictures clearly show when held in the right hand it points down and in the left hand it point up.

That is a very old and crude tool for rolling the tire bead onto the rim.

NO, NO, NO, I was right, I said it first, I get the prize!

HAHAHA
Yea I was thinking the same thing but couldn't find any verification of it.
But makes the most logical sense.

@85Hokie toss it!

It's a can opener.

DustyRusty got it right I believe. But I think it gets used with a stand that the rim mounts on.

It doesn't matter what it is, three days after YOU throw it out, your boss will NEED it ,and YOU will be up the creek !!

Excellent find!

That is a Coates Iron Tireman manual tire machine. If you don't want the tool, I can put you in touch with someone who is looking for one for his tire machine.
