Hi I'm trying to find out as much as I can about the carriers as I'm hoping to buy one, is there a lot of difference, or any of the t16 to the universal?
Regards bill.

The controlled differential of the T-16 is probably the biggest difference between it and the universals. The differentials were well built, and post war were (and still are) used on various snowmachines like the Bombardiers, nodwells, flextracs and go-tracts. .

UC vs. T16: General items (there are exceptions, etc)

"standard" carriers are shorter, with six road wheels, t16s longer, with eight road wheels.

UCs are steered by a steering wheel, T16 by tillers.

UCs generally used and built by commonwealth, T16 by the USA

Otherwise, (again in general terms) the different carriers resembled each other, had similar power packs, and performed the same roles.

Probably your first purchase should be Nigel Watsons 3 books, after that there are various bits floating about, and obviously this forum...

If memory serves me correctly the T16's had more powerful engines, were bigger, and the E2's stayed on the ground better...
