It looks like an old oilfield tool with forks on it. I really don't have a clue.

The engine is an old Tecumseh single cylinder electric start that's probably in the 7 hp range.
.
The thing attached to it with the belt looks like it might be a a constant velocity drive that increases the speed of the top drive pulley above that of the engine speed the faster the engine goes . . it might also just be a clutch or engagement device that might be operated by the pedal on the left.
Nice find there Dan. You have a parts machine of a Tricart Hustler. Your engine is in a different angle than this?
Here are some reference pics...

Supposed to pick it up next time out there. Some how think finding a rear axle for this might prove to be an effort in futility. Jmoozy your right about some oilfield stuff next to it just not a part of this thing. It is at my wife's boss's yard. They rebuild, rent fracture valves, and cement heads as well as other machine shop stuff
you know whats right therefore you know what is expected
I know where there's on of those tricart like that that's in decent shape. Problem is it was in a field that is now wooded.
Got it home and it is made by hustler has a warranty tag on front model 928 serial 523 warranty 90 days. Had dual band brakes on axle
