Welcome to the unique club of carrier ownership.


As to grease fittings, I think someone was selling some about a year ago on the forum but I think they went rather quickly. Mine has a bunch of the modern style ones mixed in with the originals.

As to numbers on the carrier they are usually in 3 places. One of them is right in front of the driver on the top edge of the front armour plate. This number will give you the Army # that was to be painted on the side of the hull. The build date and Mfc which woudl be Ford. The build date will be a number for the month and then the last two digits of the year it was built. As an example mine was stamped "T 51176 4 42 Ford"

There was also the hull number I believe on the rear carrier at the left side. This was stamped into the angle iron that holds the rear plate to the fenders.

And the thrid number which I forget what info it gave was stamped behind and to the left of the driver on the angle iron that forms the lower edge of the air louver to the rad.

Please post pictures as they are always most welcome. Thanks also for the comments on my UC. it wouldn't have been where it is with out the help of the fine people on MLU. Also whereabouts are you in N.A. as there maybe someone close by who can offer inperson assistance.
