My first carrier
Terry,
Thanks for the reply. I am working on the route you suggested. I am also looking into back hauls from some truckers who have been dropping off oil well equipment in the USA, where another friend is working. The oil wells are not that far from where the carrier will be. They do a round trip from NY state to Niskiu, Alberta on a semi regular basis. Doug

new carrier
Hi Doug, Just talked to you a little earlier today. You have a start there. It is a MKI so you know what you are looking for. It looks like the engine is in it so that's good. And also looks like the original rad that's good too. Anyway welcome to the nut house. We are all a bit off here so it should be fun. If there is anything you want to know just ask as everyone will try their best to help.
 Oh, and DON'T THROW ANYTHING AWAY it could be a part of it. P.S. ask the fellow that you bought it from if there might be some other parts around.

Looks to be a decent start. They are fun to work on. Yes your carrier is a Mk1. However the engine is not original. its a post war flathead. But looking at the exhaust manifolds they appear the be the original ones as fitted to a carrier.

Ledsel,
Am looking forward to meeting you soon. I will get the first pot of coffee! Now I know what mark of carrier I have, I can now go on the scrounge for the parts that are missing while I wait to get the carrier home. Jordan, I am trying to follow up on a carrier motor led right now. Is the motor from a CMP the same as in the carrier. What I mean by that is, do they have the same type of id stamps on the engine, found on the left side?I`m not sure if this question has been asked before on other threads. When I bought my carrier, I had mentioned it to my wife. I am sure that she thinks it`s something for my Bren Gun, just what, not sure though. Technicaly I am right, just that it has wheels, and can be moved around with a bit more effort. I will have to enlighten her on just exactly what it is, before my hunk of rusted metal hits our drive way! So far in to the 37+ years of m, she has been pretty decent with what I have been upto. Thanks, Doug
