Yes there are CMPs in the US
I've found several and have 3 though they are scarce. I think a lot of people down here in the states are scared of them thinking they will be hard to restore or hard to find parts for. But having played with CMPs for more than thirty years I would say they are actually easyier that some of the US stuff to restore. Couple of cautions, one you need to be able to fabricate simple metal parts, you have to be willing to rebuild mechanical parts instead of expecting to find whole replacement units. Take a look at my web site to get an idea of what goes into putting these things on the road.
As to acquiring or finding one I think you have already found the best CMP locator system if this group doesn't know where it is then it is going to blind luck of somebody spotting one out in a field and telling you about it. This is how I found my most recent project.
Cheers and good luck.
