Hi all, just a quick post to introduce myself. My username is me, I live in the central part of Vermont, work as a school bus driver 9 months a year and work part-time at a tool rental store as a tool repair tech.

I wish to thank the administrator for accepting my request for membership. The reason I requested membership is it looks very promising that there are members here that can help identify a tracked vehicle that I have. It was powered by a V8 Ford flathead, 4 speed gearbox, and looks like a tank with the top cut off at the height of the tracks. Rumor was that it was used for skidding logs. I bought it when I was 17 but haven't had much luck with a positive identification. I'll get some pics and try to post them this weekend.

Thanks, and have a great weekend

Carroll

Gidday Carrol, You've come to the right place to identify what you have, and also this forum is an excellent place to find out the history, details etc for your vehicle. Look forward to your pics and future updates. Cheers David.

Hi Carroll ,
Welcome to MLU. You have come to the right place to find information and help. The people on MLU are a great bunch and if you get a chance to meet any of them, take it. Photos are of course a great bonus and it is easy to attach them for all to see,
Regards Rick.

Default Welcome!

Hello Carroll,

Welcome from the Netherlands. All the knowledge you'll ever need about Carriers is in the heads of the Forum members. I've joined over a year ago and am still amazed at what our friends here know!

Cheers,

Marc
