re-engined carriers
In Britain, when carriers were sold off and used commercially, usually in the timber industry, many were re-engined with the Ford 4D diesel as fitted in the Fordson Major and Fordson Thames trucks of the 50's era. I believe they slotted in well but do not know what was involved to convert. My worry about using modern high torque engines (in comparison to the old V8) is damage to the drive axle.
