Buen tiro al maquinón. Conducir ese trasto, si tuviera marcha atrás o subiendo, supongo que no hay zapato que lo resista... en todo caso es para conductores con pies planos.:--)

It does look like a steam roller without the roller bit.

True, and it has to be that it was used for flattening something!
But what?
Many thanks, Jenny!

I don't think it is all there. It seems the helical gear should mesh with the big gear at the front. I'm thinking it's part of a road grader.

It's in front of the Ministery of transport and public works.
I'm sure you're right, Ronald!

I'd agree with Ronald Losure above, it looks to me that it probably was some kind of grader (now lacking a blade), with those control wheels for adjusting the angles.

I like Philippes idea! ;-))
But it's interesting, that everything that can be moved, is moved mechanically and not by a hydraulic system. In this case it is still like a medieval carriage - but made only of iron.

A great capture Andy, I'll go with the general thought it's something to do with roadbuilding

Compacting machine.
Now they have big wheels, usually three, one in front two behind.
They are very heavy to be able to press the new ways or pathsi eventually before the finisng layer is done.
