Reply:The first look like a press.  It threads onto something and the screw is turned to sperate the items.  I have one similar for removing bicycle cranks from the spindle--the thread are mail however.
Reply:Maybe the other is a transmission for a lawn tractor.

Reply:Could we get a closeup of the name/wording on that side? Is there any such lettering on the other side?  Any patent dates shown?It's clearly a governor but for what? An elevator?  A mineshaft hoist? Lots of possibilities, I guess.
Reply:Well,....according to an old friend: .." Picture #1 is a wheel puller, picture #2 is a power unit out of an old Victrola spring powered record player,." John wouldn't say that if he weren't pretty sure; he's worked on lots of stuff over the decades. That would also make sense to me, as the power spring would be inside the drum unit.
