Nope. Good guess though.

Crazy guess but is it a hypoxia or decompression chamber?

Close enough - it's the altitude chamber at AF Undergrad Pilot Training (UPT) school, Enid, OK.

Something like the bucket that's used for tractor-pulling or it's some part of a press/rolling machine.

Nope. Good guess. Its part of a frame on a huge steam locomotive.

It's a magnetometer. A survey magnetometer used to map subterranean features. It's flown beneath a helicopter which flies in a grid pattern to map an area. 3 GPS receivers on the magnetometer keep track of the location and attitude of the "bird" and the software generates a 3D map of the sub surface. Really interesting.
