I think what you've got there is a threaded foot of some kind threaded into a very rusty T nut.

The way this would have been installed is, you drill the pilot hole the OD of the shank of the T nut, hammer the T nut into place, and then thread the foot in. I'll bet if you're in North America those threads will be 1/4-20.
