Carrier wreck

Thankyou Eric. I still don't know what that bracket is.
I see the gear change now.

Great find Erik.

Some grafts and a bit of elbow grease should see a nice carrier hull out of that lot !

Top tip, don't dispose or sell anything from it until you are 100% sure it isn't needed

It's the carrier restorers mantra to do follow this rule.

Likewise if you need anything, just shout up.

Found the ID tag under the dirt There was at least 20cm of soil in the drivers compartment, did a quick digging and found a little hatch, original?

Good luck and say your thanks to the landowner. If he is open to the offer, a standard item of currency in Canada for helping a stranger is a bottle of reasonably good whiskey or for lesser assistance, a case of 24 beers.

The hatch cover is off a Studebaker Weasel. It is the Detonator cover. A nice piece of jewellery for a weasel owner. There are a number of weasel owners over your way that would be happy to own it.

maple_leaf_eh, the landowner was happy to get rid of it. He could not understand why I was interested in it

ozm29c, great! Talked to a friend who has a collection of Studebaker Weasels so I will give it to him.
