Nice as it looks, I think I'll stick with a TPC and a TT, I've my fingers crossed that as a TPC without additional armour I will be able to tow it on a 3.5 tonne trailer
 I'll just have to wait until the end of the project and pop her on a weight bridge.

Alistair,
Take a look at the thread carrier, full-track, loyd for some detail pictures of a Loyd Carrier found in France some four years back. They may come in handy as reference for your project. HTH, Hanno

Thanks Hanno, a good number of photos i've not seen before.
So you all know, this is what I'm dealing with......... Can anyone suggest what the extra brackets are for... a post war Dynamo? The engine has a rebuild data plate on the bell housing giving a rebuild date or 5/3/63, it says 'Arsernal ???', I presume the ??? used to say 'Refurbished'. I have been through both vehicles and I do have at least one of everything, however without some serious remanufacturing there will not be enough to rebuild two Loyds. Starting next week I will strip down the complete chassis of everything so that the bare chassis can go to the fab shop to have the main rails remanufactured. I'll need a flathead V8, but I don't want to spec it up until I have determined what Version of V8 and electrics it had.

That bracket atop the engine looks interesting. What is it for exactly? Large generator? Perhaps this carrier was a TS&C?

The TS&C used dedicated belt driven generators, one 12 volt and one 24 volt. It still used the standard engine mounted dynamo to charge its own battery.
I wonder if it was a Belgian conversion to a larger, possibly Autolite 12v dynamo.
