If this is a single wheel mounted vertically on a sawhorse like frame
it sounds like what every farm was equipped with years ago. Initially
driven with a crank or treadle and used to sharpen scythes, sickles,
mowing machine cutter bars and all the other cutting implements used
on the farm.

for example without water trough.

The water trough was normally half a tire
