Ford Canada universal carrier production used the British steering gear for the initial production. When Ford Canada introduced the ROSS steering gear, it was the only one used for the four, “three wheel” universal carriers, as well as both models of the Windsor MK-I* carrier.

I believe the T16 used the same steering box as the Studebaker Weasel Ron

Didn't the T16 use same one as the Loyd?

Btw. I am looking for a Ross (nos or v.g.) worm (carrier not Jeep) if anyone happens to have a spare?

Jokes aside, Thanks for doing this Andrew. It all helps with the knowledge base.

Yes, I had actually realized this when I did the post, and thought about it the next day! , The T16 braked the differential , probably more like the M3 Stuart Tank. The Loyd just braked the shoes on the brake drums , both front and rear
Cheers
