Loyd Carrier
Hello folks,
I have just started to restore my Loyd Carrier (Tractor Anti-Tank MK1) Build by M.B. Wild & Co. at Nechells England with WD Nr:T 136474 Is there any one with information/photo's about a Loyd in Canadian service?

Looks to be a nice easy restoration there. It appears to be quite complete, is all the steering there? I will be watching this restoration very closely. Good luck with it mate!!!!

There's a Loyd carrier here at about 2:50. Sadly I can't read the census number.

Curious.......
I was just looking at the pictures of the inners of the Lloyd carrier
....... am I wrong in assuming that the frame of the Lloyd carrier is a FORD truck (CMP?) frame installed backwards......... with the track support attached to the side of the truck frame..... ??? If so....... how did the now rear V8 engine manage to have multi (4) forward speeds and one reverse gear.....???? can this be accomplished by reversing the ring gear inside the axle or just flipping the driven axle or having a V8 with a reversed rotation..... ? Was there a similar application for other CMP based rear engine desgn by Ford...? I have tried sketching the rotation of the engine in relation to the ring gear in the rear axle..... and believe that flipping the ring gear would have the desired effect........ Am I right...? or do I need another beer. Boob
