Yeah, that looks like it could be the guts of an old freewheel. Does it still "freewheel" (turn) or is it just a fixed lump on there?

If it still freewheels, then its like 2020mad says. :daumenhoch:

You need a toothed ring and a Cir-clip type ring. Its like an early cassette style where you can chance the number of teeth without changing the freewheel mech. I dont expect it will be that easy to get the bits for it :-[
