Last summer my son and I found 2 carriers in a local yard. One is under a pile of scrap and maybe top armour is cut off and the other was shortened to be a snowplow. Owner said they could be for sale but I've never followed up on this. I don't have a price on them but may go back in spring to have another look

Default Carrier grave yards

I'm still waiting till spring to go see a carrier that I saw last fall , way back in the bush It was painted black and had steering levers .The CT number was stamped on the right side of the fan cover .It was not a normal type of carrier .The levers looked like a Loyed they wern't home made .I should have taken some pictures . Another trick that works is .Put a wheel or armor plate in the back of your truck for people to see and park it in front of the local coffey shop ."fish bait" You will have more people tell you where there is more things than you can remember .I got my halftrack and 8 ton Fruehauf lowboy trailer that way .This trailer was used to haul the carriers and small cats D2,D4,s
