I found this one buried at about 3 inches. This looks like a hitch but I'm not sure for what. It looks like there was a piece of wood going thru one of the holes and the 2 nails were used to secure it. What do u guys think?

Yes, I'll 'second' nickel_n's reply.  Almost certain that's what it is.

Now that u guys mention well pumps I think that's exactly what this is because there were no water pipes here till the 60s and the way we got water was by digging wells. I don't know why this never crossed my mind cause I used to pump out water using these levers way back when I was a kid. Thanx Guys.

Here is  a tidbit you might want to checkout.

Although Thomas Crapper took out nine plumbing patents between 1881 and 1896, none of these patents was for the "valveless water-waste preventer" he is often credited with having invented. The first patent for a siphonic flush was taken out by Joseph Adamson in 1853, eight years before Crapper started his plumbing business. Many types of siphonic systems were patented in the 1880s, but none by a Crapper until George Crapper, Thomas' nephew, was awarded an 1897 patent for "improvements in or relating to automatic syphon flushing tanks." Crapper may have sold or installed water closets, but he didn't have much to do with their development.

 Alexander Cummings is generally credited with inventing the first flush mechanism in 1775 (more than 50 years before Crapper was born), and plumbers Joseph Bramah and Thomas Twyford further developed the technology with improvements such as the float-and-valve system.

Below is the type I used as a kid here in Puerto Rico. The one I found looks to be missing the handle or maybe something else was used to move it up and down. There is a hole that I believe doesn't go all the way thru but it could be that the corrosion sealed it.
