nice one.

Nice as in an elaborate conversion. Note the T16 rear axle and Chevy engine.
Looking at the front fixtures, I think this was used as a snow plough?

Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing.This machine is in excellent condition thruout, mechanically or otherwise. Steering and braking has been upgraded to the latest type of reardifferential which is the type used in the latest model brenguncarrier. I is fitted with a Chev 283 CID V8 engine. Topspeed of unit is + 45 mph or 70 kph. It has a 4 speed standard transmission. With the machine go spareparts such as : set of tracks, 2 front suspensions, 6 retyrable wheels , track joining tool , bearings and seals , 4 front idler brackets and spindles , main axle and misc. small items , also a set of relined brake shoes. BG carrier has been serviced and is ready to go. Vehicle can be picked up at my place of residence. ( it approx. weight is 6500 lbs ) If interested in bying the BG carrier the payment will be one time in cash only

love this one...it is actually a nice conversion looks tidy better than the usual farmer / logger hack and bodge that we see. bet she has some poke with that v8 in too

Note the difference in price between an unmolested, unrestored, in the rough carrier like we saw last week (went for $23,000) and a highly modified running machine like this, which does not command anywhere near the same price.

Buzz saw bren carrier

Very interesting, I wonder if it is the one that used to be in Clinton?

Colin Jones has already put this one on the forum. Cheers.

still wondering...

... if it was the one from about a 100 k south of there in Clinton?

Has now finished but it didn't attract a bid. It did however have 2 offers.
Pity it was so far away. A great looking ride I reckon.
