Childhood memory of an abandoned Universal Carrier may be confirmed by Google earth

Proportion wise, it may even be a T16...

Wish I were closer..

There was one at the town gravel pit in Armstrong Ontario. I have not been out there in over 20 years so it may or may not be there anymore. We did take parts of it when we were mining the area for carrier stuff.

I think you may be right.
The shadow does hint a hull that goes all the way to the back.

Ambition! Get going!

BTW, winter is sometimes considered a better season for recoveries because the ground is hard for sledges and for winching. Any thoughts what you'll use? A couple of the fellas here have dragged stuff out of worse spots.

Go big or go home, it's probably a Windsor.

It’s definitely an adventure I’m willing to take. It’s 7 hours away from where I live now so it’s a hell of a trek just to confirm if it is what it is. I’d also need to make this trip to get the lot number and possibly get leads on the owner.
It’s crazy talk because I do not need another project but curiosity is killing me.
It sits 600ft off a highway with a gravel road leading to it.

Sounds like a good way to spend the weekend! I have done similar to go and look in Firefly wrecks.

I'd love to help, even if it's remotely. This is the kind of stuff the Internet was made for. Discovering your childhood "tank in the woods" and hopefully recovering it. We could even get a Hallmark movie out of this.

I sure miss those adventures Rob & I would go on in search of carriers in the bush!
I didn’t even own a carrier at the time but just as excited to find those rusty parts just lying there!
Great times.
Now I’m married and domesticated!
