Parts Trip #2 - March 2006 (continued)


Tough to tell here, but this is a fairly rare WWII Marine Corps trailer. It was made by Graco here in Minnepolis.
I have since found out that it was made in the early 1940's and was a "Convoy Luber" trailer.
It is supposed to have a compressor, and a whole host of lubrication hardware in it. Graco historian Leo,
was very interested in hearing about it and is going to help with documentation
and original WWII drawings and photos from their archives.


Mama crow was not happy with us. She sat between 2 different trees, taking turns scolding us and cawing to her young one in the nearby nest. She was glad to see us go.


The last of the haul headed back to the staging area.


A quick side trip along the road revealed a bunch of civy jeeps. We bought what was worth hauling home and left the rest. Not much military, and less now.


Back roads are fun to travel. We side tripped a different route home and stumbled into this WC21 residue sitting in front of a church.
No one seemed to know anything about it, and there couldn't have been 200 people in this little town. Not much to bring back anyway.


Loading the last semi home. The Marine Corps trailer full of misc stuff.


Ryan's D500 and my 1.5 ton Chevy cargo box. Lots of nice trinkets in the cargo box. Closed cab Dodge cab on the rear. We got several of these, but all civilian.

That's all from the southwest. Time to head north.
