2017 at the Hammond Barn

[Grant Bowker]

First, my apologies for not posting more frequent updates on what the barn people have been doing. I will try to catch up.
Recently the barn team went on a parts recovery roadtrip. Not a crosscountry or crossborder trip but with some interesting results. Rob got some interesting parts for the M-37 series and I ended up with most of the CMP Cab 13 parts. 2 seats of a pattern I didn't recognize, a cab back panel in fairly good shape, a cab floor of a pattern that I had not seen before (but should have known would exist, a cab nose in less battered than average condition, a couple of 20" rims, PTO tire air compressor and transmission and transfer case (also of a pattern I had not seen before). We were told the CMP parts had all come from a C60L operated by the RCAF. This is consistent with the parts provided and the yellow paint on them that didn't appear to be a recent respray.
