My old man has a reasonable collection of old engine bits lying around, probably a spare crankshaft or two that are surplus to requirements, how big or for what purpose are you after.
Failing that, most of the vintage car clubs have a pile of old parts, I'm sure you could get something old and large for what some beer would cost.

Had to be either a stool or a letterbox stand...I've got a 750 kawa crank about 15in long you can have but i'm assuming you want something taller.
For barstools, look at 6 cylinder cranks.

Better get one thats not FPV, it will break down.

By definition, if it's holding up a stool or a letterbox, it's fucked for use as a crank....whether Ford or Holden.

That is cool, particular respect for the fact that they are all the same, and all facing the same way.Thought it might of been for a project like this

I was thinking it must be for one of these.
If you want something bigger than the normal Holden or Ford 6 look at Heavy EQ places like Goffs or Cable Price.

There is even more of them to the left of the driveway, just out of shot...about 4 to 5 of them. My phone camera is fussy on distance, so I had to run on tot he road briefly to get the first photo so missed the others ones lol.
I could always knock on the door and ask but i think that fence has been there a long time, so the original builder could well have moved on....

Did they assemble then in NZ? Could be surplus from the factory. I remember when there was surplus Honda engines left over from the Nelson plant, they had to smash them with a sledge hammer to stop them being sold. The triumph engines got buried out the back of the plant, probarbly still there, same with the Jags too I think.
Might explain why all the ends have been cut off those Ford cranks, to make them unsaleable. Maybe
