Is it cut down? Do you have the front end remains too?
We have the rolling chassis with correct wheelbase, it's had the end of the chassis trimmed off for some reason. Was converted into a farm trailer probably prior to ww2.

Sorry these have taken so long but it's only recently while extracting some hay making equipment that I've had a chance to get anywhere near our old Karrier (or remains of).
I seem to remember there was a query about the prop tube, anyway our chassis still has it fitted, hope pictures are helpful/of interest. Keep up the great work!
Regards. Ed.

Ed,
I noticed the following statement in your 2008 topic (bold emphasis mine):
Chassis is in very good order having been kept dry all its life, not sure where to look for a chassis number - any ideas? There is one small brass plate on the prop shaft tube relating to a patent if I remember correctly. I believe axles are in their original locations but it looks like 2' has been chopped off chassis just behind rear spring hangers. Don't now why as wooden body extends beyond this.
Any chance you can look out the patent number from the brass plate? While you're there, can you confirm the orientation of the bung for oiling the prop-shaft front bearing? See attached photographs...
My oil bung (removed in this picture) at the four o-clock position.
Has there been a clarity / artistic license decision in the parts list, or is my torque tube orientation incorrect? Perhaps when I remove this part there may be witness marks visible on the spherical head.
Thanks
Doc
Hi, I'll try and have a closer look this weekend. It's buried in the back of a barn currently.

I have a pair of wheel rims believed suitable for a Bedford QL. They are in good order haven't got handfuls of flaking rust scale falling off. They will need cleaning up and painting. All threads OK and nuts present. Recently split to remove tyres needed for another project.
£75 / pair. Located nr Andover Hants or can send out.

Its been a while since I posted on the forum but stumbled across this post. I was at my Dads cousins funeral recently and the family had dug out some pictures from when he served in the REME. This included some shots taken in the 60s/70s of wading trials on a LandRover presumably at Instow. I'll try and upload a picture I took. Regards. Ed.
