I found an interesting "modification" that had been done that might cause a good chuckle....

Your guess is as good as mine as to how it got there or why it might have been done - But it had been there for a long time as the dirt was fairly compacted and the plug was firmly screwed in!

Carl,

That plug had to be put in there before the bogie was mounted!

Maybe a disgruntled worker at the GMC factory?
