Stumbling around the woods in northern Ohio and found this way cool Graco Motor Vitalizer machine. I believe this machine was used to flush engine oil from auto engines and treat the lubrication system. This is the first time I had ever seen one of these machines. Has anyone ever seen one of these or have any info on this?
Man that is cool:) I hope you got it home in one piece.
Thanks for the loves. I am still in negotiations for this piece, I sure would like this in my possession soon!
Never seen one before either, but it is Very Cool!!!!!!!! If i find anything on it, i will let you know.
Looks like it hit the market in the 1938-1939 era. Here is what it looked like new.

Thanks for the loves, and thanks fresco for the ad and info!
I also been researching these as my husband and I just purchased one. Would love more info if anyone has any.
hey that's a humdinger...love field rust.. Merit gas used to have one drive right up and they would put one hose in your dipstick holder and pump it back through the oil breather I guess it was nothing more the a pump and a big filter ...they had the jars of old there for 15 cents.., most of our Junkers either burned oil or leaked it ...lol
Thanks for the loves! Seller is unable to commit to a price, so it still sits in the field, I can wait.
Here's one that looks more like yours and Shelleya1's
