Moving a 600 Horsepower Armoured Shed (FV4005) 

if you watched this and didn't like SHAME!!!!

Props to my WoT crew repairing a broken track in 4 Seconds from inside the tank

Do you think we will have it done in time for Tankfest?

Having a fiat500 next to the tank really helps to imagine how big of a lad that tank is.

1:31 never realized that tank tracks would make such a nice adjustable fence 😂

Without the boom pole you still have the ultimate off road camper!

You should be very proud lads... truly a fantastic job...history being restored before my eyes....what RU-vid was invented for .. educational...and fun.

This is awsome never expected to see the FV4005 working again ever from its old previous condition

I wish we'd had a forklift when we were fitting new track - it normally came in either 4 or 6 links in a pallet and we had manually lift and connect all the links together and then break down the old track to go back into the pallet for disposal - character building they used to say :)

Do you foresee any other future restorations of vehicles from Bovington? You must be all very proud, quite rightly so for such a fabulous restoration. It’s a legacy that will outlive you all. Whenever it appears in photographs or films, you can proudly say “we did that” 👍🏻

Bollocks to the tank thingy! Massive congratulations to Jack and Mrs Jack 🥂🎂💑.

Hopefully, you’ll get a contract to fix up a few more of the Tank Museum’s pieces that need some attention. Coming from an antique restorer, you guys have done a fantastic job.

You guys should be knighted for this amazing piece of British Military history 👌 Arise Sir Ted

Good to have Jack back, his helpful comments are priceless - "Brackets Mate, Brackets, They're Brackets"

You make it all look so easy

"What a noisy piece of sh-" hahaha :D It looks absolutely majestic when entering the hangar

Ted is receiving love from Titusville FL USA. Since my dog Gomer passed 2 months ago seeing Ted with you makes me smile and think of my pal Gomer. Love you all Mr. Hewes but special love for Ted.

There's a marketing opportunity - 'Mr Hewes Grumpy Jack Cider' seriously though, great work!

Good to see Ted heavily involved in supervising this segment. No squashed fingers with Ted on the job!

All eyes will be on that lovely beast at Tankfest. Wonderful restoration. Also congrats on your marriage Jack.

"Hope you enjoyed the video . . ." a complete waste of breath, I ALWAYS enjoy Mr. Hewes' videos, Regards from the former New World Colonies.

Never clicked so fast in my life

This video is a masterclass in Youtubing. Great content, great editing, great camerawork. No zooming in, long informative shots. Why you only have 226k subscribers is beyond me. You deserve, and i'm sure will have a lot more!

You should make a playlist about the Fv4005 coming together.

Its great how caring you are towards Ted, he is clearly a special friend and he is important to the channel and the workshop.

You guys deserve a gong, especially Jack with wedding and all. Think everyone should be well impressed with your efforts and professionalism to bringing the FV4005 back to life.

Not gonna lie I wasn't expecting a BREAKFAST reference. Not disappointed. Nice work fellas, glad to see it's coming along.

Anyone else notice Jacks scratch and sniff test? 😂

That's bloody incredible, from gate guard to working in no time really. Well done.

Being able to restore a one of the kind object like that is a real honor,and it speaks volumes to you and your guys ability to do things right. NICE!

YES THATS THE EASIEST TRACK BASHING I'VE SEEN FOR JUST THREE PEOPLE AND A DOG.😮😊

Bravo gentlemen!

Well done boys

It's a beast and looks amazing, good old Ted doing a grand job despite the Jnr staff flirting with him.

Just making a a batch of chilli. Sat back down at the laptop for simmering time, and this little beauty appears. Excellent work there Ted.

4.18 "whoa, whoa you've gone all slack again..." Hee, 😁

you guys have too much fun.....i am so envious.

I think Ted needs an inflatable paddling pool to lay in! Well done Jack, not a virgin anymore, was it worth the wait? 😛 That thing looks amazing 👏👍

That is a hell of a turret, it makes the tank look small, I am not sure I would want to be in it when the gun fires, it looks great, if not a little unreal, what a mad machine.

Congratulations Jack.

10:50 love the way they both popped up like Punch and Judy 😂

seeing the turret swing around just before being dropped onto the hull was basically like seeing the turret rotating on its own as if it was on the hull. It is really exciting to see how close it is to being complete! It is also really cool to see it moving under its own power with the turret

Epic series with the”Big Green Fighting Machine”. Just gets better and better. SO satisfying watching those pins go in. That Foden is worth its weight in Cheerios… Crack on team Hewes!

A work of passion and so good to see this progress! A journey we all have enjoyed - you've done the Country proud

Well done Guys it is much better than television...

If the engine works. Lay the track out in front of the vehicle, put a track rope on the first link and run the rope over the top rollers and around the sprocket, then use the engine/sprocket as a windlass to pull the track on, when the track gets to the sprocket and has engaged with the sprocket teeth remove the rope continue to drive the sprocket until the track meets the track under the last road wheel. Because both tracks are off you would have to pull the vehicle onto the track. Once one sides on you can move the vehicle onto the other track using the gearbox. I was in the Armoured corps for 23 years and that's how we did it on CVRT, AFV432, Chieftain and Challenger. Just a thought. Keep up the entertaining videos. 👏

The history being reborn is off the chart, well done to you and the team for resurrecting the FV4005

Okay so we know it can fire, BUT WILL IT!!!

Those railway carts (pumpcarts) are real & I had driven them! Beautiful job though, mates! Excited to see it come together.

It Runs, Moves Pops and Booms, what a Beasty, welcome back Jack !

Vid quality getting better and better, this is a major milestone! Hope you guys are congratulating yourselves!

I've been loving this FV4005 restoration! You fellas are doing a top notch job. Ted's supervision is right on point. You'd be lost without his expert advice. Nice work all!

And the sun is shining across South Leicestershire! BIG bonus

That's a nice armored barn you got there

“That identifies as a hammer” pans up to a wall of hammers behind him😂 i love this guy

Looks great 👍

Hope everything goes along well gents, it's looking like she may be sorted in tme for Tankfest!

Good job Ted and Team 👍👀✨️👏

0:02 little 'Tall Mr Hews" next to the gigantic turret... I enjoyed the take very much.

I used to run old M-47's as target vehicles for military weapons tests. They were a ball to drive, but a real pain in the butt when they threw a track. We needed a 4X4 pick-up truck, a tow-strap, some long pry-bars, a sledge-hammer, and a lot of grunting to get a track back on.

Hard to believe it was conceived and built in the first place . Amazing job people. Good camera work and sound . Great video 👍🏼

Amazing work from everyone. Well done. But are we to be worried that Ted seems to be branching out on his own. 😮

Bloody good job Ted Camera Crew and Lads !!! 😉🙃😎

Super job! Yep, Jack's back and louder than before! 🙂

Ted is just thinking nice weather for a cold pint 😅

awesome work guys

Thank you for restoring this tank, besides the last one in existence. I'm glad to know these tank can ride again.

Great video boys, Talk about old heads on young shoulders you lads know your stuff, the Foden is something else, Love it😊

You made that look easy Mr Hewes! Experience!! Phil

Congratulations Jack 👍

Looking good girls and boys. Congratulations Jack and Mrs jack. Looking forward to the next video.

Still cannot get over how clean and shiny the engine compartment (+ contents) is! Its a reassuring relief to get a peek into the rusty driving section, which looks its age!!🤣

Such a great series, its a joy watching you guys putting the 4005 together

thanks for doing my mum jack!

Amazing work, well chuffed for you, great to see it all coming together. Also glad for a bit of bully back at the end. ❤❤

man if only i didn't sell that old 183mm destroyer shell and powder casing in the garage sale 2 years ago i would give it to you guys

With a bit of help from the lads Ted has done it again His video skills and direction have no limits Well done lads and keep up the good work

Get a sarong or an old towel, hold it under the yard tap for a minute, ring it out and presto! You have dog air conditioning. Rinse and repeat when said towl dries out. Ted will love you, that cold cement floor, and a thin wet towel over him. Used to do it to my black Dane in Africa when it got really hot.

You just made me want a set of tracks as a garden fence or property line fence 😮

Well done chaps, a bit of history restored. Congrats to Mr & Mrs Jack.

Good to see Jack hasn't suffered any ill effects from his honeymoon. I never had a set of tracks fit that well, the track gods were looking down on you. Roll on next video.

"The gun is live" I think we ought to get the British Military and Bovington Tank Museum to produce some shells and a firing range for it. Let everyone see it delete some stuff.

That’s a battleship turret on a tank hull! Wow!! Even with a camouflage paint scheme you aint hiding that thing!!!

Amazing work, such a great channel to watch. Please let’s push the algorithm to help spread this amazing channel to 500k then 1 million subs. Better than mainstream tv.

Best videos on RU-vid. I never realised that the Tracks only ran off one series of Sprockets each side, for some reason I thought they were at each end of the Tank.

I think you guy's will be able to get it ready in time, seem to be doing pretty good progress every video

21:26 Cute puppy

Absolutely fantastic work guys well done .

I've had bedrooms smaller than that turret, and the paintwork has never been as nice either! Top job, everyone involved. Class.

I caught this one late as I was catching up on Clarksons farm. Great to see Jack's midget arms back. Top tip for track tension: if you want to tension the left track, slightly neutral turn right and the slack will come to the front, and vice versa. That way you can collect the slack easier with the idler wheel. That's how we did it on chally 2, only we had hydraulic track tension so no hand cranking 👌🏼👍🏼.

That brings back memories, track bashing in the summer heat in Germany. Getting ready for autumn exercises.

Armoured shed is an accurate statement. Good luck from Canada

You guys really did great with your massive Tonka toy! Again and again the Foden is proving it's worth easily moving the turret to its place and doing a great job with its tracks quickly. Congratulations with the wedding 💑

Superb chaps and lasses! Thatshed could be parked in the turret it's so big.. and extra points for wedding dancefloor singing!👊🏻

Love the clips of the puppy

Teddy is such a good boy

Big tank and a careful and smart Foden, plus just everything else and Jack and Ted and sunshine and history. Brilliant!!

Nothing short of brilliant work by the lads yet again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ job.

thank you for answering about the gun! hope to see more progress, keep it up

love how when you "hammered" the "pin" in with a pin and ratchet and a wall of hammers right next to you.
