I was replacing the motor coupler on direct drive and this part fell out.
Is it from the washer, or somewhere else?

I believe that is an alignment tool, used when doing a transmission repair.

It’s a shipping pin. There are a couple on the Machine, they are captive in the little plastic cups. When the machine was new they secured the tub to the base, the installer would pull a yellow strap and it would pull all the pins from those......pins. They fall in the plastic holder to live there for eternity.

Thx fellas, it’s a relief. The replacement coupler was slightly undersized and caused me fits, a new one is one the way. This machine also had bad agitator dogs, worst I have ever seen, only remnants really.
Have a buyer lined up, just need to finish it.

Undersized coupler

I have seen them a little snug but if you put the coupler on the shaft as much as you can and gently tap it on with a deep socket and a hammer

It looked to me I would need to file it...which would mean I would need to find my files...which is somewhat unlikely.
I will keep it for the next time and maybe try to fuss with it then.
Btw, the washer in question:
