Ford Universal carrier pieces found today!
Hi All,
I was at our favorite Army surplus yard today with Rob Love and Laun Brown walking through the yard looking for parts for Laun's jeep when I decided to dig through a pile of scrap metal to see what was there and found a track jack and a Walker jack for the carrier hiding under the junk on top.I also found 3 of the DND ARMY marked fire extinguishers,fire extinguisher bracket and 5 NOS track pins dated 1942 on the heads.I had made up a track jack from one of the old Ford car jacks but am glad to finally have an original one to add to my tool list.I looked in the carrier manual and see there were 6 track pins in the tool list so will have to look for one more next time!Amazing what is still out there.I am still picking woodticks off of me but is worth it.Enjoy the pictures,I always like to see pictures of other peoples finds. Regards,Derk.

I was not so lucky. I think that when Derk sat in my truck, the horseshoes that are stuck up his ass mishaped my truck cushions.
The carrier jack should not have been where it was........that particular yard was filled in the 80s, so the stuff he was finding were either hiding in the back corners of some MT storeroom, or had been moved from another yard over to this one. The shed where the pins were is another story. Lots of old surprises will be in there, and it is piled 6' high.

Those little fire extinguishers are desireable amongst firefighting apparatus collectors too.

Nice Finds ...But Wrong Jack
Indeed Nice finds however the jack is close but no cigar...
Compare the recent find and the ones in the attached pics. Notice the size of the "button" where it contacts the jacking post. The correct jack has a much larger button. Hopefully this nugget will prevent people from starting... Jack Collections. All this good info will be in my tool reference book...one of these days. And yes I am closer to completion.... Should anyone here have one of the correct jacks for sale or trade I am still looking and will pay or trade more than fair!! Harris
