Enjoy

The owner told me that his father fitted this carrier with a two man tank gear box that came into Australia after the war from New Guinea anyone have any ideas ?

[ron]

Sorry guys,
Wrong pic, I am still working on this one this is the one that was intended

[ron]

Interesting with the double bogie set up

[ron]

I have cleared away some of the bush

[ron]

Forgot to tell you this carrier is fitted with British track

[ron]

Manged to jack it up so that I can move it sideways

[ron]

Notice the small oil cooler, and the piece of railway line on the front,also you maybe able to see the cleats welded to the track to give it better traction

[ron]

Just a different angle

[ron]

I found the remains of one of the bins under the carrier will be interesting to see what else is lying in the bush close by,

Ron, it looks as you described it, the transmission , chaind & reduction boxes are unknown to me, looks similar to a Stuart g/box, both cover & location of the levers but I don't know if the chains suit. Bizzare machine indeed...

I could be wrong, but if it's from a two man light tank it could be from a Marmon-Herrington. A few found their way to Aust during the war and used as training vehicles. Eventually they were all scrapped for parts. Mate, if it is from a M-H, there wouldn't be many around...........
