Tasmanian Carrier Recovery

A mate recovered this carrier the other day. Not sure of it's hull number yet, but I have asked him for it.

A lot of armour is missing, but mechanically it's good apart from brakes that are stuck on!

Getting there

no, you have enough toys of your own Greg!

almost there

Tony's M37 providing the motive power to get the carrier onto the trailer (which has actually beenbuilt to transport a Gama Goat)

Hi all - I really get excited when another Carrier comes to light. It doesn't matter what condition it is in, it's out in the open.

Actually the new owner wanted to ask me a question about i.

The hull seems to have an extension fiied to the rear which I understand mounted a winch for logging. The suspension arms seem to have a round cross section profile rather than the ribbed style shown in Mike Cecils book. Maybe someone can explain.

anybody got any thoughts?

It is exciting to see them come to light, a pity it isn't as complete as the one that Justin found!

looks like some of the wheels are on backwords

Isn't that the remains of another Strickland carrier? In any case, the front roadwheels should have that sitting level... from the angle I can't tell whether the springs are stuck in full compression or whether thew crosstube is out of line but it bears looking into.

BTW, there are some great pics here and elsewhere of a restored Strickland for comparison...

because the brakes are stuck on, and the winch has pulled its nose down.
It has rounded suspension forks because its English(or Canadian)rather than an Aussie LP2 or 2a, and it also looks like it has a straight 6 in it (dont start that again!)
