Rescued MK 1
 

Here are a few pic's of a MK 1 Universal Carrier I got from up north Ontario. What an adventure, it took the dozer almost 3hrs to get in the bush to where the Carrier was at from the road. We entered the bush at 8:30am and finally got out of it around 3:30pm.

It was an adrenelin packed day or should I say two days because we started out at midnight on Friday and finally got home Saturday around 3am, or should I say Sunday morning at 3am. All in all it was worth it, I can't wait to get to the restoration!!

Very Cool

All I ever find off the side of the road is empty beer bottles & dead kangaroos!

welcome and its great to see the photos, thanks. Please keep us posted with progress. Boy I wish I could find one of these in the UK. They seem to be everywhere in Canada!

three for sale in the for sale section matey... i can recommend and advise on shipping one.... or three home ;)

Care to share where in N Ontario you found that one? I need to know if I need to cry if you pinched it from my backyard.... :thup2:

I don't want to hurt your feelings, it's best the location stay classified!

Thats alright. Maybe there is something more to this so I fully understand.

more pictures
 

Here's a few more pictures of the carrier sitting in the driveway. I have a couple more pictures with markings on that maybe you guys could help me out on?

Mk 1 Markings
 

Here are some markings that are on the carrier, any taker's on what they are?

I think the third one is Central Command, ie Ontario. The others are too far gone for my not-so-keen eye.

NEW mk 1
 

Could you please put up a photo of the dipstick holder in the 3rd pic of the second set.
Thanks
Roberta
Looks like my carrier when I found it, but mine was missing engine and cover and my glasis plate is intact.

Nice find. What note did you get when you whack that track with a hammer? Was the track seized up when found?

The tracks were alittle seized but they moved after a bit of banging around, the problem was the brakes are siezed and wouldn't release, not even after dragging it for about 3-4kms through the bush over rocks, bridges etc!! :bang:

I will take a closer pic of it and post it for you.

I used a slide hammer to get my drums off, had to pick the asbestos seals out the back of the drums first though, took a while but I got there without having to apply heat

Thanks Michael, great info, I'm going to check my MK.1 when I get home today. I will take pics of the fuel dipstick hold too! LoL!

How are these pictures for you?

Added a couple more pictures of the fuel tank dip stick holder.
