I don't know what the bottom item is, but I LIKE it. I'll venture a guess it has something to do with mining? Is it possibly upside-down, and designed to run on a cable? The top wheels may be about the gauge of mine tunnel track. A real Rube Goldberg contraption!
Nothing to do with mining, EVERYthing to do with hay... it is a pulley to lift bales into the hay mow of a barn - we bought it back in Iowa 5 years ago, and it hasn't found a good display location yet... and think much smaller than the gauge of mine tunnel track, Jim - poke your head over our front gate sometime, and you will see it.
