arm stub or butt
Canhoto aqui é como o canhoto de um cheque, uma porção menor do braço que fica em sua base e é articulada com ele.

@ David,
For cheques, it would be counterfoil, not stub. I mentioned it's similar to the "cannhoto" of a cheque, just to giv an example of the use of the word. Then I mentioned it stands for a smallet portion of the arm hinged at the base, that is, a "stud" or "butt" of the arm.
The term is used with an article "o canhoto", so it has nothing to do with "left side", it is LIKE the canhoto of a cheque, an additional stretch of the arm (smaller) and hinged (just LIKE the counterfoil of a cheque).
My suggestion remains as it is.

| Hi Mario. I think you may have misunderstood the context: this is part of a piece of agricultural machinery and has nothing to do with cheques. |

The term is used with an article "o canhoto", so it has nothing to do with "left side", it is LIKE the canhoto of a cheque, an additional stretch of the arm (smaller) and hinged (just LIKE the counterfoil of a cheque).
So, it was a mere comparison. I know it has nothing to do with a cheque.
