Hi all
My name is Marcel Both and lives at the Netherlands(Close to Rotterdam) and since a 2 months owner of a UC. Here are some pictures of my UC so you can see there is a lot of work to do. The top armour is already new so no ID numbers but at the low hull(at the backside) there is the number 10115 C so far i know it is a Canadian Carrier of they year 1942. We have check the engine what was with it but this one is in very bad condition so we have to look around for a other engine. Soon some information about the progress. Cheers Marcel carrier32.JPG carrier2.jpg carrier36.JPG |

Here some update
After some hard work the last weeks at my MK1 carrier,we have take away the new top armour, the tracks,the pedals, take out the engine and transfercase. We wants to strip the carrier totaly and after grit blast we start to build up the carrier. After we had open the transfercase and look inside we saw that we needs some new parts for it(see pictures). So still a lot of work to do. |

I have rebuilt several of those assemblies over the years by simply cleaning them up and installing new ball bearings. They all turned out like new.

After a busy period with my work i had pick up my project today.
At first today i turn over the hull on the other side to take away the last broken rivets. Earlier this week i had pick up some parts likes a front seat,front mudguard and a ice crabber. Can someone help me with a good/close up photo how the ice crabber mounted at the lower hull? Cheers Marcel |

Marcel, do I see portions of a MK-II commander seat with non-original support arms attached?
The ice scraper blade mounts on a specific block, the block is bolted to the lower hull in a semi-permanent fashion. Those ice scraper blades are specifically for winter use, not to be used on turf. They may remove soil off the hub exterior and force it into the hub interior. When the ‘F’ series sprockets were introduced, the first pattern ice scraper blades had to be modified to fit. Usually they can be observed with flame cutting modifications. The 1944 dated blades can be identified in factory production with the necessary changes. The image you posted shows an early ice scraper blade. Your other images show you do not have ‘F’ series sprockets. A good place for the ice scraper blades? Left in the stowage bin. That may help you finishing your day with the same number of fingers you started with. Last edited by Michael R.; 26-12-18 at 22:25. |
