New member of the Carrier Family

[marcel both]

3 weeks ago i visit a military market here at the Netherlands and found a nice lot of carrier parts(the 2 red lead parts i recieve from Adrian Mamzer).
I had bought also a package of wooden strips what belongs at the edge of the upper hull of a MK1 carrier.
This weekend i open this package and found out that this wooden strips are signed with the year of manufacture and a CTL number.
The year of manufaturing 1942 what is on the wooden strips will be a nice match for my carrier.
Yesterday i start work on the Diff of my carrier,take off the front part of the Diff
what is between the Diff and the gearbox.
The seal what was on this part i had take a way because it was damaged/getting hard so it had a small oil leak.
So now i had to find a new seal what will be not so easy i think.

Cheers
Marcel

Hi Marcel,
In England there are people who will make these seals, they are not a standard size. Try going to you local bearing shop and asking them, if not, the try this website;
www.jgelectronics.co.uk/oilsealuk/default.html
I recently had a Carrier owner from Canada asking about these seals and put him on to this business, Oil Seal UK. I have not dealt with them myself as I normally order through my local bearing shop.

regards, Richard

Hi all
Here some question about some parts what is missing at my carrier.
I have to remake the parts what is at the photo's but without some information
about sizes,width,thickness it will be difficult for me.
So if some one can help me with a description of this parts(the strip what is
on top of the gearbox, need width,length and thickness) and the 2 parts what belongs to the seat for the radioman/third person on top of the feultank(need all sizes of this parts included the holes) or want to check this at his MK1 carrier and can make a description of this parts than it will be helpful for me.

Cheers

Marcel, Im working on this issue too. When it will be fixed on my carrier, I let you know.

This week i receive 2 seals that i had orderd for the drive coupling and for at the backside of the gearbox of my carrier.
Today i placed the big one at the drive coupling and fits perfect.
Also today work on the actuating rod and check the bearing support.
The balls of the bearing were very bad so replace new ones and replace everything after cleaning again and now it works perfect.

Cheers Marcel

Hi Marcel,
WHere did you order the new parts from?
Can you post the stock number/part number you used with the company you ordered them from?

I need to get the same things.

Thanks! Jim
