Carrier country
Hi Richard,
Its just the remains of a standard L P 2 aust carrier, I got quite a few other carrier parts at the time I picked this one up such as various bins,track winch, crow bar, front mudguards, not cheap but I never pass up any carrier parts, its only money after all.I was dealing with the son of the man who converted a standard carrier to use at his fathers and uncles sawmill,it was used to snig logs at the mill, a standard carrier will not slew on the spot in the soft ground conditions , mud, sawdust and the usual crap that you find on the ground around a bush mill,that was the reason for fitting the trasfer case from the Marmon Herrington tank,acording to the son that I was dealing with,it seems it was one of the hundred or so that was diverted to Aust from Java,and used as trainers here for a few years and , then scrapped the engines 4 of them for each were used in ships lighters, and some of the armour plate used around the wheel house of the lighters. just how the farther and uncle got the parts I have no idea, they are both dead now and the son in his mid 50s does not either Regards Ron
