Help ID these 2 farm sale "treasures"
I got a couple things in a box of stuff on a farm sale recently that I have not been able to ID. I'm hoping you guys can help.
The first one is driving me bananas because I'm sure I have seen it before. But, I can't for the life of me remember where or what it is. It is a cast iron bracket roughly 10" long that says "MODEL" on it. I must've accidentally deleted or moved all but one picture of the other. It is a big wrench that is open end on one end and nothing on the other. I can't quite make out the name on it. Appears to say "Route" or "Roule". Has anybody seen either of these before? Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention... the wrench I am trying to ID is big in both the size of the fastener it is intended for and the size of the wrench itself. It is about 26 1/2" in length

The two rectangular pieces look like some kind of blade clamp for a sickle bar or farm implement.

Since they came from a farm sale, most likely the wrench is for some sort of large farm equipment.

With regard to the wrench. I guess I was mostly just hoping somebody recognized the name on it. I searched a fair bit and can't seem to find anything similar.

I'd post the picture in the vintage tool section of the Garage Journal forum - there are some real experts on old tools and tool brands over there.

Wasn't there a tractor, or implement company called "Model" pronounced Moe-dell ?

I did a pretty good search for "Model" and of course it's totally dominated by our modern use of the word.
I know I've seen those before, some kind of blade, disk or tine hold down clamp used on farm implements.

The lumpy bits on one side engage with something, possibly under spring tension .. to make them semi self centering ... it's like a word on the tip of my tongue ... except it's a thing, not a word

The wrench was used to remove and tighten old wood spoke cart wheel nuts to the shaft.
