What is it?

Sure it looks like a Hoe on a trailer.
What kind of Hoe is it
Its a old hoe
Its a used hoe
Its a hoe thats been around
This hoe did a lot of traveling when it was a younger

But don't call it a hoe!!!! What is it?

[jodyand]

I will say its a slag shimmer.

[Wingnut]

Nope. Those are wider, this is only 5" across the face and it wasn't made for removing slag or dross.

Good Guess you know hoes but not this hoe ROF

[draddogs]

Could it be for ash or cinder removal of a large boiler train or tractor?

Yes it was used for that on the MKT railroad it is called a Stoker (could be slang). It was used on a steam engine.

I know the one I have for tomorrow is going to be hard!!!!!

I'm with Ernie. It's something for a steam engine.


Guess I posted this just a little bit too late.

I have something a lot like that. It came with my old house. It was used to work the fire in the old coal heater. Also had a few others. Some pointed on the end, some hooked, and a few bent 90 deg on the end.

We don't have coal heaters down. My great grandfather worked 55 years for the MKT Railroad. I have lots of MKT stuff, Safe, caboose lamps, watches, silverware, and tools for locomotives.
