I've been watching a girl on you tube, who, based in Las Vegas, has taken to exploring the very rural west. I saw an episode recently where she explored an abandoned TB sanitarium[sanatorium][I've seen it spelled both ways] on an island, on Mono Lake. There she came across a Cletrac! The tracks had such complete shrouding you couldn't see any track. It looked like it was an orchard/vineyard machine. Then she read the lettering off an oiler, or greaser, near the operators area. "Bowen Manufacturing" Auburn NY. Auburn is the central, and largest city in Cayuga County, and therefore the county seat. [Where we go shopping, when we're allowed!] The oiler/greaser had a handle/plunger. What might that have been for?
