Ford Universal carrier pieces found today!
Hi All,
I was at our favorite Army surplus yard today with Rob Love and Laun Brown walking through the yard looking for parts for Laun's jeep when I decided to dig through a pile of scrap metal to see what was there and found a track jack and a Walker jack for the carrier hiding under the junk on top.I also found 3 of the DND ARMY marked fire extinguishers,fire extinguisher bracket and 5 NOS track pins dated 1942 on the heads.I had made up a track jack from one of the old Ford car jacks but am glad to finally have an original one to add to my tool list.I looked in the carrier manual and see there were 6 track pins in the tool list so will have to look for one more next time!Amazing what is still out there.I am still picking woodticks off of me but is worth it.Enjoy the pictures,I always like to see pictures of other peoples finds.
Regards,Derk.
