Take it off , clean it and google any identification words or numbers. Then get a 1/2 pound of C-4 and blow it up...let us have a video of it.

Couple of pictures of the offending item now off the mutt. It seems to be some sort of solenoid. unit pulls wire back about 1inch Not sur if it was some form of locker for the diff??? No markings at all on the unit the welds to the bracket are rough and the plate aint square.

Was it ever used on a farm? Could it have actuated an attachment such as spreader, sprayer etc? Just guessing here.

what did the wires connect to? any location for wires anywhere near? such as diffential? more cleaning may reveal a part number! was the "mounting" done sort of the way it woulda been done way back when?

Just had an email from Ken the Muttguru and it seems that company called Milplus did a locker conversion for the rear diff on the mutts.
This would seem to be an electric actuator for the diff lock.
I will have a look and see if the diff has a locker in it. would make it better in the rough stuff I quess.

Well it definitely looks like a modified starter solenoid. You can see where the housing and been modified by adding the mounting plate and what looks like the boot end of a power brake booster and probably the brake rod. The welding is REALLY sloppy, sort of like coat hanger type of welding so I would guess this is a backyard/farm modification of some sort.

Turns out that it was for a locking diff(not now fitted) being operated by the solenoid.
