F&W Star Model 12? Open gear id

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.

Wowsa, those pinion gears are slightly worn.

Also, the upper tailbone casting does not appear original.
Thanks,
Ed

Looks babbitt worthy to me. A great addition to any collection.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.
