Ok thanks for the info, so this is a custom pice for another application then. I was taking it for granted that it was a pice off a carrier.
I’m thinking my dad would have made it some something he needed it for. I have found all kinds of different things he made years ago using pieces off his carrier.
Was no Walmart back then and living in the country was not a quick trip to your parts store so home made was only choice.
The best thing he made was a half track. He took a 1947 Mercury 2 ton and cut the frame shorter, turned front axel over for more clearance. Made a set of tracks out of carrier tracks for it using the 2 road wheels and top idler. Tracks are assembly not much bigger then the modern ATV tracks. I tell you did that truck go places.
I will have to look closer at it tomorrow to see if there is any more numbers on it.
Once again thanks for the information
Eric
