I received my carrier today and it needs a lot of work, but i am sure you have all heard that before. It was missing even more than I originally thought.
Does anyone know were the hull number would normally be? I did manage to get a few numbers off of it. -There is a number painted in the front of the lower hull that appears original (LB 194) -The Number on the engine is 81A-6049-A -There is also a plate attached to the engine that reads: "Mackenzie, White & Dunsmuir ltd. Precision Machine Shop, Date 25, 2, 53, CYL 030, RODS 020, MAINS 010. What it actually has is: -complete suspension and track -final drives complete up to axles(missing complete 9" dif) -Engine and Transmission -Lower hull with inside almost completely gutted This is my attempt at uploading pictures:        As you can see by the images of the engine, the generator has been removed and the fan has been removed and relocated to the crankcase wheel

Well done on the purchase. Now will 9er domestic complain that you're in the garage all the time?
What's your name by the way, I was RCD (Petawawa) from 1990-2004. I may know you.... Dan Sicotte

The engine is not original. It is out of a 1940 pick-up .I think . I can't remember just off hand. they had the fan mounted on the crank for the low sloping hood but that is the only difference otherwise the engine is the same if the carrier is around that year. I'm sure someone will fill you in on the details. Also the rear end for that is the same as a 2Ton truck of the same years. It has a split diff where as the 3Ton has a conventional type diff And most often had a two speed rucksell

I believe it actually is the original engine. The mount for the the generator is still there on top where the fan should be and the fan was very roughly welded onto the crank(home job). The person I purchased it had removed the engine and transmission and modified it to run a backyard wood mill. Also the transmission was altered to fit the requirement. Chris Saunders

Yes I was going to say it looked like it was used to run a buzz saw. It very well could bethe engine . There should be a engine number on the top left rear of the engine block, Between the head and the intake. There is a flat spot there, the same surface as the intake. Probably starts with a "T".
