Default Australian 2 pounder resto

G'day everyone, well after the mortar carrier, I thought it best that I do its brother. Its not in very good shape when you look closely but nothings impossible. First thing is get rid of the dirt and give it a clean so I can evaluate the extent of repair. Here's what Ive got and I will keep you posted as progress happens.
Colin.

Hi Brenton, there is a few fittings there but a bit worse for ware so I will probably replace most af them.

Hi Ron, yes it is a nice little project. After the way the way mortar carrier performs and handles I'm going to disgust all those avid restorers and put in the windsor and C4 which I have. Its like having an automatic armoured gokart on steroids. Model AAGOS 6019
Colin.

Will it fit in there? I looked at that idea once but I found there wasn't enough room. The problem was the transmission was too long. The flathead and trans are very short.
