Default Most modified carrier I've found yet!

This is another of my finds. It's quiet badly cut up as you can see and it's way out in the middle of nowhere. It only has winter access and is 4 miles on the wrong side of a lake in northern ontario.

My friend Jack had a Windsor carrier that had been cut down and used in the bush as a logging machine. He just sold it a few months back to a guy from Bancroft Ontario who then sold it to a guy in Belleville Ontario. A friend of mine from Oshawa had a manual for the Windsor and I put the guy in Bancroft in touch with him and picked up the manual.

Never misses a thing

i have a good pair.......of lights, if you know anywhere that would press the tin i can make a mould/die/pattern from mine

note the links taken out on the track guards...enegmatic of the carrier dont you think also would not like to be in the drivers seat if the cable snapped at the winch, no cover and plenty tension = a lot of mess on the drivers seat if it snaps

I think I might have that machine now. I picked up a bren mk2 and a T16 from a guy in bancroft this spring. They are just south of belleville now. I put pictures on here a few months ago.
