I'm looking at the slats on the far end of the cart, and thinking of
those little 'windows' where animals have to stick their heads in to
eat straw or hay. It looks like the cart is designed to tilt so that
it lays on the handles rather than the position its sitting in now.

Looks like it was made to clamp on to the handle of a hot water

2017 is a card-shuffling machine. It runs on batteries. You split the
deck into two, put half in each end (on the metallic shelves), and hold
in a button which might be round the back. Then you extract the red
drawer in the middle with the shuffled deck on it.

I don't think it's strong enough to pull hubcaps. The wire is only
slightly heavier than give away key rings.

2017, as with the others. I'd say card shufflers.
2018, no clue.
2019. Could be either a line cutter, or a way to pick up tubing by the

2021. No clue.

2017. I agree card shuffler. Here's one.
http://www.amazon.com/Maddak-Battery-card-shuffler/dp/B000UBJ3XO
I remember we had a card shuffler when I was a kid but I think it was
hand operated.
2021. I wanted to say jar opener but the prongs are too long and it's
too short. So I'll say it clamps onto something so you can turn it.

Might have been at one time. But, in that case, someone bent the end.
What is the bent end used to do? With the bent end, it would not slip

Good question. I was thinking rolls of fiberglass insulation (something
light so a large load could still be handled easily.
Whatever it is, I noticed that there are no provisions to keep the load from
shifting and interfering with the wheels.

Some bedroom or bathroom doors can be locked for privacy but have no
keys. I wonder if this was to open a certain design of lock if the
door
was left locked by accident.
With the open wheels, whatever was moved had to have a fairly well defined
form. If it was loose, such as bundles of straw or cotton, the carried
material would foul with the wheels.
The next thing that strikes me is that whatever it hauled could not have
been too heavy. The axles and general framework don't look like they could
carry, raise or rotate more then 300 or so pounds, over and above the
device's own weight. That leaves out carrying rolls of newsprint, for
instance and probably speaks against even large rolls of hay or straw.
Whatever it hauled didn't weight that much.
The last comment I have is that I believe it was intended to be rolled
backward for loading, rotating the wheels off the ground. Whatever, it
hauled was probably either rolled on or forced on it, over the bars running
in the direction of the sides of the frame and not the crosspieces.
My guess would be it was something used to pick up and haul rolls of bound
cotton fiber, yarn or the like in a knitting mill.
Micajah
2019 Guess: Wire cutter. Wire goes into slot with handle in position shown
in first two pictures. Pull handle. This might go with the various barbed
wire fence tighteners we have seen before. The point might be that it could
be used one-handed and on horseback.

It strikes me that if 3 rigid arcs were on the cart, they could form a
sort of stock tank or pool about 12 feet in diameter and 3 feet high.
The cart might allow one man to wheel all three pieces into a building
for storage.
Would somebody have wanted a temporary pool that size? Would somebody
have wanted to pour a lot of concrete pads that size? Would masons have
wanted a guide for circular stonework?
That would help explain it being found in a furnace room. The furnaces
in question are rather large 80 percenters. They have fan induced
draft, and operate on natural gas. I doubt that it's a pilot cleaner.
I did send pictures of the item to my church's maintenance people, and
havn't heard back.

Nope! A fire extinguisher pin should be straight in line with
the pull by the ring. This, at a right angle is not and would slow
down
the bringing of the fire extinguisher into play. There is a wire
crimped
on to hold the pin in place until someone needs the extinguisher and
the straight pull breaks that wire.
I stand by my already posted suggestion that it is a tool for
cleaning the orifice of a gas fired pilot light.
Enjoy,

Thanks for sending the photos that show how this tool is used, it's not what
I would have guessed it was for. The rest of the answers can be seen at the
link below although the cart is still a mystery. Also at the link are two
updates from previous entries, including some cast pieces from the mold that
was posted two weeks ago:

I wonder where the cart was found. That could be a clue.
I posted a guess that it was for the groundskeeper at a park with
plants. It didn't propagate to my server, so I don't know if anybody
saw it.
Low circular walls about 12 feet in diameter seem useful to display
plants in parks. A form would make it easy to build or repair a wall of
concrete or field stones and mortar, and a circular form wouldn't need
to be heavy. If the form was assembled from 3 arcs of 120 degrees, they
would always come out round. They might be needed every year and could
be stored on the cart.
Here are some examples of such walls:

I'm sure it could be used to carry forms as you describe, but it's hard to
say if that was its original purpose, looks like this might be a difficult
one to nail down.

I wonder if the history of the house is known. Philadelphia has a lot
of old public gardens, and I'm sure it has a lot of old courtyards.
What if a former resident was a mason who specialized in circular walls
for plants? He might not be able to drive a wagon or truck within a few
steps of his work sites, so he would own a special cart.

It appears to me that the windows would be about 8 feet high. If the
top of the load was that high, I'd want to use those bars to tie it so
it would stay centered when the axle tipped on uneven ground.

I think I know one this week!
2017 is an automatic card shuffler. Put half of the deck on each side,
press the "on" button, and the cards should get shuffled and deposited
in the middle -- pull out the orange thing to retrive the cards.
The one my brother had, if memory serves, had an "on" switch that was
more like a foot pedal (which would obviously be on the other side), and
didn't shuffle the cards very well.

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2017) Looks like a card deck shuffler. Two halves go on the
two metal platforms on the sides, the shuffled deck is removed
from the red/orange central drawer.
Unless there is a crank on the far side, it is likely to be
battery powered.
2018) For transporting sheafs of wheat?
Or perhaps hay bundles.
2019) Looks like a specialized can opener. It is poked through the
side of the can and cuts out a narrow strip of tin plated steel
as it progresses in the direction of the pull on the handle.
(Obviously the handle has to be cycled to make more than one
nibble.
2020) Perhaps for supporting the neck while sunbathing?
2021) Yet another jar opener. Clamp it down using the wingnut
at the left-hand end, the grip points are spread out around the
diameter of the lid, so it is less likely to be pinched into
immobility. Then use the crank handle at the right-hand end to
rotate the lid relative to the jar.
2022) Looks to me like something for cleaning the hole of a gas pilot
-- likely related to the furnaces, though the water heaters
might also be gas fired.
Now to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
