I saw a man carry on a truck tire & rim on an Alaska Airline flight between Fairbanks and Anchorage.
Also a woman carried on a very large lampshade (it had it's own seat) on a United flight from SFO to SEA

The kitchen sink -- literally. About 10 years ago, an exhibitor going to or coming back from a plumbing trade show carried aboard a kitchen sink model. Somehow, the FAs found a place in the cabin for it after the psgr. tried mightily to jam it into an overhead bin.
