Windmill or pump connection.....or??

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of windmill or tower you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

Windmill or pump connection.....or??

Not sure what this is. Not pure windmill, I think. Perhaps involved with windmill connection to surface pump mechanism? I'd like get an idea; eliminate it as important for anything. Casting #D16 might mean something if we had a starting point.
Thanks for looking, Dennis

That appears to be a crosshead for a pumpjack.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.

Yep. Wonder who made it. Haven't seen one like that before. Might be worth some bucks if offered to the right person.

I agree with Windy
Don’t think there’s much demand for pump jack crossbeams
Just my opinion Wayne

Bingo guys: what a difference the correct term makes. With it, I found an end-clamp for sale on line with the same casting number and measurements as my two end clamps on the beam. It was listed as a Dempster windmill pump jack cross head end clamp. So if they have the mfg. name correct, I have a Dempster crosshead/beam. Thanks!

Mike if you have a gas engine, pump and pump jack you need a cross head so you can rig it all up and pump water. I have 3 such set ups. Had to make my own cross head for one. I would have bought that in a flash back when I was looking.

Wayne, I'd be interested in seeing a photo of what you did do. Thanks for comment too.
