The idler wheels look like something the marines used on a weasel like vehicle. The marine corps supply depot in Yermo used to have them in storage. There was one in a playground across the street from Peggy Sue's diner on the road to Yermo. I think the idler wheels were pneumatic. Many mining operations in the desert gave birth to strange vehicles, so who knows where it could have come from.
