Post War Staghounds in Canada

[jeff davis]

The Company was Patrick Forklift in the Still Creek area of Burnaby and they constructed off road Forklifts. The legend is that they had buried several of the hulls to shore up still creek from flooding the property.The running gear was used for the Forklifts I in the past had come across a few.

The Shermans are active all up and down the West Coast of North America.

Hereby two old photo's from a modified Staghound in Canada which might originate from Patrick Forklift.

I posted this question on a heavy equipment forum, and a Dane reponded. He offered to post some pictures he took in Hope in the 80's.

(I knew a girl named Hope in the 80's, but I didn't have the presence of mind to take any pictures of her ...)

I believed there was a similar company in Australia converting the Staghounds into 'commercial' vehicles. I believe the logging vehicles were called Cadmac Tuskers. Good luck with the research.

James.

ps. If you find any secret hoards of Staghound parts, please let me know as we are struggling to restore one

And MORE(!) repurposed military surplus vehicles. Have you ever seen a Sherman tank "dump truck"? Hanno, are you paying attention?

Is it just me or do the tracks on the Quadtrack look like that of a M3 Stuart?
Were there many fastracs made?
There used to be one not far from me, sadly now scrapped.

YES Terry, THANK YOU! Very interesting reading, wish there was more info and better pictures.

"Shermans into ploughshares" is a very interesting subject which could do with a lot more research.
