That sounds like a worm gear. When it is turned by a motor, a round gear meshed with it moves at a slower speed. That might have come from a factory (possibly falling off a ship carrying scrap metal.) It sure did not come from a kitchen mixer.

If it was resolved like my dad and grandfather resolved the problem of finding odd screws laying around, someone got a 150-foot wide baby food jar, stuck the screw inside it, and hung the jar by its lid to the bottom of a shelf in the workroom. In 10 years, some kid will come along, find the huge screw, spend 2 hours trying to find a nut to fit it, give up in frustration, and just ride his bicycle with loose handlebars.
