Mystery wheels

Although the drums are too small a diameter to be from a Loyd carrier, the curved plates which are used instead of nuts for the sprocket bolts look like those used on the rear axle of a Loyd. Drums look standard Universal Carrier. Look at the front face for numbers and dates.

Looking at the overall axle width I’d actually say that whole assembly is from a post war Loyd crawler tractor.

Just checked some photos of Loyd crawler tractors and the body work on them does look the same as what I had to remove from the axle.

The fuel tank on those is the same as the ones I have seen there as well.

Wondering now if there is any demand for them to restore the tractors, rather than me pulling it apart for spares. It would be a shame to destroy something that's valuable to someone.


Casting numbers on the part that the sprocket bolts to appear to be BS600 and 1945

How many teeth on the sprocket please.

[Glen Plumridge]

Not physically in front of it at the moment but can confirm the tooth count in a few days.
The only pic I have is not clear but it is around 35 teeth same as a carrier.

Picture of sprocket in question
It' a bit hard to count the teeth underneath.

Sprocket is a 35 tooth, so will work for the Brit carrier.

After 3600 + km of traveling back and forward this past week ferrying trailer loads of parts everything from out west is back at my place.

The LP2A will be the focus of my effort initially.
First step is to clean out around 50kg of dirt from the floor.

Need lots of parts so if anyone has bits for sale in Australia please let me know. I will put a WTB ad in the correct forum with a list.
