Well this carrier was otherwise the same as a regular carrier. It deffinatly wasn't a loyd. The hull was the ordinary type. the only diference was the engine cover. As far as the side and rear armour I don't know as it was removed. He made a wing for his snow plow out of it so it must have had the full height armour. The front idlers were removed and the trac was shortend. The front section was cut off and flipped over to make a bucket out of it. You steered it from the rear by converting it to hydraulic brakes and using levers to operate them. It worked pretty good, we loaded a lot of gravel out of the farm pit with it. I wish I had photo's but I don't. A few fella's did that in those day's.P.S. This carrier was Canadian and was never overseas.
