Curious.......
I was just looking at the pictures of the inners of the Lloyd carrier
....... am I wrong in assuming that the frame of the Lloyd carrier is a FORD truck (CMP?) frame installed backwards......... with the track support attached to the side of the truck frame..... ??? If so....... how did the now rear V8 engine manage to have multi (4) forward speeds and one reverse gear.....???? can this be accomplished by reversing the ring gear inside the axle or just flipping the driven axle or having a V8 with a reversed rotation..... ? Was there a similar application for other CMP based rear engine desgn by Ford...? I have tried sketching the rotation of the engine in relation to the ring gear in the rear axle..... and believe that flipping the ring gear would have the desired effect........ Am I right...? or do I need another beer. Boob

I'm sure I remember reading some where that the axle was mounted up side down. I just drew a rotation arrow for the prop and one for a hub and turned it over....and it works......or shall I join you in another beer? Ron

That's worth a beer......
.....I did the same thing Ron.... sketching on paper the rotation and changes when the ring gear or the whole axle is flipped over.
Pretty resourceful for the builder...... and raises some interesting ideas for backyard projects....... Bob

yes bob i'll get one too, and tell you how it is.
They got a Fordson 15cwt chassis and turned it backwards. They used the engine, radiator and transmission (US made ford 4 gear gearbox) mounted a axle on the front, put on some brakes on the front and rear with cables and sticks. Then there came an other guy which was pretty handy with sheet metal he went bending and cutting for a day or so. And the result was a loyd carrier  Greating's Paul

They flipped the whole axle over. Also the radiator fan had to be specially made to suck from the cabin and blow air out the back of the vehicle.

What about.....
....just flipping the fan blade over ........?? nah your right they would have needed to design a different blade......curve of the blade would be wrong once flipped.
I installed the batteries in my flashlight backwards once..... it sucked out all the light in the room....... Back for another beer... Boob
