used to harvest cotton?

YES! It is a Cotton picker "spindle" / "tooth" There are around 1800 of them on a 4 row picker...

At around $8 a piece..It cost around $15,000 + to replace them. Avg. life span is 1500 to 2000 Acres of Cotton...One of the Newest John Deere 4 Row Models run $500.000.

the "y" must be a guide for an alignment pin, the hole on the left for mounting.

aligning and mounting on what, i have no clue.

 

[Uncle Bob]

Does it work alone...or does it have "buddies"?

A bracket for a squirrel cage blower

 

[pacanis]

mmmm, just had a cold sausage sandwich left over from last night, some chocolate and a Dr Pepper

It definitely has "buddies" it works in conjunction with.
The small round hole you see is for nothing more than hanging it up.
Nothing mounts to it like a handle or anything.
The Y isn't exactly a guide, but it obviously does most of the "work".
