Sexton 1900 restoration

[Half-Track Guy]

Jesse,

Glad to see you have your pictures back, I was looking at this thread a few days ago and noticed they were gone, I have always enjoyed watching your posts on the progress of your Sexton and used them as inspiration as I was working on mine. The work you did on this project and the final results are second to none and you should be very proud of this vehicle.

I am sorry to hear about your accident last year and hope you are making great progress on your recovery.

Well done. i see you mentioned having to email pics to yourself to resize them - not elegant, but it worked. What's that phrase again - improvise, Adapt, Overcome. Well done.

I’m still trying to sort out the problem with a cooker fitting in the bracket. The bracket is 8 3/4” square. Both the stoves No. 2 Mk.1 & 2 are bigger than that. The Mk.1 being the slightly bigger of the two at 9 3/8” square. The Mk.2 is 9 1/4” x 9 1/8”. The pins near the bottom of the stoves have no affect on the fit. I’ve read that some of the Carrier owners have the same problem. At this point, I may have the bracket cut out and a larger one made to replace it.

Jesse.

Someone recently ran into the same problem on the Carrier Forum. Might have something to do with nomenclature staying the same over time for the cookers, but them changing dimensionally.

The No.2 Mk.1 predates the vehicle.

Jesse,

Don't cut that bracket out just yet.

I have been researching Canadian use of No. 2 Portable Cookers and I have found some very interesting information. I will put all of the information together and start a new thread soon.
