I replied to your email George what an excelent colelction you have !! your carrier (10128) has been chopped up exactly the same as mine, wonder if yours had been owned by the same logging firm as mine had ? would be great to find the firm and perhaps get some answers.... fromwatching Ax men on TV they dont appear to take care of theyre kit so i have no doubt even if we found the firm they would even remember the machine.

i noticed that it was slightly lager than a letter box, at a guess i would say perhaps this has been a wasp ? this would be no more than a guess, wither that or an owner has been trying to get better access to the cross tube and has cut an access window. George if you want me to host the pictures you sent me just let me know and i will start a thread for your carriers.

Would you post the oicture for me .Thanks Richard . You will notice that it it well manufactured as it has rolled metal over the edges .It is just not cutout and there is a round hole above it .

well utterly depressed i contacted the ford canada archavist in a bid to try and trace my hull and Georges (10128) but unfortunately he drew a blank i really wanted some concrete confirmation on the correct number for my carrier......i am really becoming bitter about it... every time i see a chopped down hull it brings a lump to my throat i only have the above possibility which does not correspond to any batch made by ford, can anyone else advise on a avenue of research i could take ? i have even tried to trace previous owners to no avail... Rob advises that he believes the chap he got the carrier from may be deceased now.
