Does this belong to my 1880?

Found this on my driveway where my 1880 was operating. I don’t recognize it but thought to post it to see if anyone recognizes it.

Looks an awful lot like the ring on a Lynch pin.

Yep.

It does. Thanks folks. Don’t have anything on the tractor that uses that as far as I know but will be going over it closely. Still have to figure out where it came from though.

Give the back of the tractor a good inspection. Those lynch pins are often used for securing parts of the 3 pt linkages or the pins on 3 pt implements. Sometimes they are even used by owners in place of some other piece of hardware that broke or went missing back there.
If your tractor had a previous owner or is recently from a dealer, the thing might have accidentally gotten lodged somewhere and happened to pop loose.

Thanks for the heads up. Will check it out today.
