Hi to all,
I've recently purchased a hull of a LP2A and now have the long haul to find all the required parts and rebuild it. I look farward to scanning through the threads and picking up all the relevant info that I may need. O and believe me, i will need a lot of help. If anyone has anything that you have too much of (if there is such a beast) for a LP2A, just let me know as I may just need one.
Many thanks
Mick

Hi Mick and welcome to MLU.

Please tell us more about yourself and project. What is the hull number? Where are you located?

I'm sure there are plenty of experts here ready and willing to assist.

welcome to the carrier family...may your carrier disease flourish and spread to others

I purchased a hull of LP2A carrier no 1902 locally. It's a stripped hull and now i need all the parts. If anyone has detailed drawings of the armour for the LP2A I would be very interested. Info on the engine, gearbox, diff and anything else really would be an advantage as well.
thanks
Mick

Hi Mick - your Carrier should be a 1941/42 Ford LP2 that had the engine numbered A19UC-110 and built under contract MON.62. It had a truck type clutch instead of usual heavy duty bus-type clutch. There should be an image of it on my website

G'day Mick

I have a spare copy of the Spare Parts Catalogue. It is one of the 3 or 4 manuals from the 1940's on the local pattern carriers. It is quite comprehensive and has a breakdown of all the major components. PM me if you are interested. The other manuals are the Workshop Manual and the Instruction Book - Driver.
There is also a List of Spare Parts but page 13 is missing. Everyone I have spoken to at swap meets about it have the same page missing but maybe someone else on the forum may have a copy of the mythical page.

Cheers

Hi all - when I find this elusive page I will sell it for $100 per copy. Seriously though, this manual popped up a few years ago as a photocopy. Exhaustive searching on my part has never uncovered an original that would show its full printing details.

Hi Bob,
I have one of the photo copies of Carrier M G, Aust, Spare Parts, Caralogue,and Identifcation List, Revised, that is the title on the front page, is this the one under discusion? this copy has page 13, but I may be barking up the wrong tree, Regards Ron

Lynn Eades · #9 27-04-11, 12:46

THe one you have is not the same. Yours is one I would like a copy of. Yours has great detail (I remember your posts)
Why havent I already asked you for a copy??? How are your Chital?
This cam plate picture is from your book.

ron · #10 27-04-11, 12:57

Hello Lyn,
Yes thats the same book. I will see if I can locate one for you,
When we moved from the place we had up in the hills to here where we have quite a wild dog program, I gave the Chital to a friend of mine, at the time we had 16 of them with another dozen fawns due, he has 1600 acres, so I guess they are more than happy with their new home, they are a beautiful animal, regards Ron

Lynn Eades · #11 27-04-11, 13:01

So as not to hijack the thread I will PM you.

Rob Endersbee · #12 27-04-11, 16:21

Welcome Mick,
I restored a South Aust, carrier nearly 20 years ago and still get a real kick out of taking it for a spin. I have some NOS sprockets available . Currently putting a carrier "kit" together for a bloke in Perth who came up to Merredin and had a ride in mine as a birthday present from his wife-now he's hooked!! If I can be any help, just ask.
cheers
Rob

Mick Sutherland · #13 29-04-11, 04:20

Many thanks Rob for your help. And I need all the help I can get. How much would you like for the sprockets.
Mick

I have an original parts book with page 13 intact - it's really not that interesting !

I will sell copies for $99.95

Cheers

Phill

Bob McNeill · #15 20-07-11, 11:42

Is this the missing page ?? so is page 12 missing too.

Bob Moseley (RIP) · #16 20-07-11, 12:10

Hi Phill - attached is page five of the book missing the elusive page 13. Is your book in this format.

Bob

Bob Moseley (RIP) · #17 20-07-11, 12:13

Where did that come from. Try this image.

Bob

Lynn Eades · #18 20-07-11, 12:23

Bob Mo, Do you realize that you can delete your whole post once you have gone into the edit option.
and yes this is the one every body is talking about.
Bob McN. your book looks interesting. Hopefully Ron is looking for one for me.

Bob Moseley (RIP) · #19 20-07-11, 12:43

Hi Lynn - if this is the book then everybody has it but without page 13. I can live without a copy at $99.95 but I am sure everybody would pay for a copy of page 13. Over to you Phill.

Bob

Philliphastings · #20 21-07-11, 05:25

The manual I have is Spare Parts identification list Mechanization pamphlet No 7B 1942, and as of 20 minutes ago technically now belongs to a fellow MLUer who I'm sure won't mind me photocopying page 13 and mailing out free to MLUers who send me a PM.

Bob your price still stands - it's 5c cheaper than you would have charged and besides- you've made enough money from us here in the MLU community to afford it...

Cheers

Phill

Bob Moseley (RIP) · #21 21-07-11, 06:03

Sorry Phill - wrong book. Attached is the front cover of the manual with the missing page 13. If your page 13 does not match this manual cover then it is of no use to others who have this manual.

I will choose not to respond to your comments on my alleged financial dealings with other MLUers. I will let my reputation and record stand.

Bob

Euan McDonald · #22 23-07-11, 04:32

My copy of the spares book was missing page 13, but I did find a copy through another MLUer.
