Can anyone help identify this wooden object? We found it in the parking lot of our church this morning. The church is on a busy road and people often turn around in the parking lot so I'm guessing it fell off someone's truck.

The schematic I used is shown in post #1, along with a picture mapping points in the schematic to points in the picture of the motor. Let me know if you have any questions. http://www.shopsmith.net/forums/showthread.h...
