Normally I don't leave comments on the videos I watch, but I will motivate myself to start doing productive things after each video I watch, whether it's about college or personal projects, and later with a game of War Thunder. You're doing an excellent job and I'm so glad you exist, please don't stop posting on RU-vid, at least you make my day better. The quality of people and teamwork seems to be from another planet. Just, wow!
Synchronization of the forklifts. Jack giving off confidence = hands firmly on hips! Ted keeping just far enough out of the way to avoid injury, while giving disdainful looks at all the hard work. Real progress good to see
All that Milwaukee on the back wall looks wonderful! 4 tape measures in the pack still, unheard of!!!! I can't keep one used tape around here! Then all the other tools like the five or more chargers easily accessible to everyone who is working, or going to find a tool (Gopher). Hope you get a sponsorship soon. You have invested a lot in the tools and to have them at the ready, displayed properly enough to catch viewers attention within the first two minutes without even mentioning the tools! Now that is deserving of a major MILWAUKEE SPONSORSHIP! well done
Love the videos... Learning a lot. I had a thought... Like @icebuntrucker, I would like to continue to drink a cold beer watching you guys toil away, BUT, a bit concerned about lead in the paint. Lots of dust and needle scaling and if the paint has lead, a bit of a health issue. I am sure you have thought about it, but as I said, would like to keep you folks healthy... Cheers! Best!
I think we can all agree that we all enjoyed how you started out in this business but we would all love to know how you and your partners in crime Mr Jack came to meet and his past experiences working on tanks Keep it going guys !!
Looks like your Diane Abbot is in worse condition the real Diane Abbot, I'm sure the team will have her up and running soon. I'm looking forward to the Warrior being done soon, great video, keep up the great work.
I have always liked traditional British humour and since the ever encroaching blight of political correctness I have turned to your channel with delight. Don't ever change.
Love the humour you guys have good to have a laugh when working great video I saw someone make a good fire pit with the tracks they stood them up to make a circle weld it and boom a fire pit Regards Steve UK London
16:02 that fucking dog! 😂 Also Diane Abbot is... Jack's? Can you ask him if he was completely drunk out of his tiny little mind when he bought this shitbox?
If I was 50yrs younger and only half daft I would love a day with you lads . It would be like a day at Billy Smarts Circus😀🤣PS retired mechanic so oil and dirt doesn't frighten me LOL
You guys have got the best job 👏, I'm on building site, and we have health and safety, which is shit and can't do your job at all , but you guys ... pmsl keep up the fantastic work 👏 💪 👍 👌
"Never hit the bare bolt as you will ruin the threads!"... lol.. If there was dynamite, it would be going onto them threads/ :-) Real life versus "Theory". :-) "Forklift" - item that will lift everything regardless of weight as it is the only lifting appliance knocking about. Also tows everything as it is also usually the only thing that starts/runs. Everything else is "to be repaired" and ergo does not run... :-) Forklift dares to not start once in 6 years despite never getting any attention whatsoever.... "Bloomin useless piece of absolute crap!!".. :-)
Hi Joe, I love watching your videos. I’m facinated with the work you do in rescuing and restoring these vehicles. I do have one small request. When someone other than you, Jack, Seb, and/or Matt work in these vehicles, would you please identify them? From time to time we see a “new” guy helping out. There are also two different girls either painting or needle gunning. Who are these people and what is their connection to your operation? Thanks much and a big thumbs up to you, Jack, Matt and the rest.
great work, always exhausting when removing road wheels, such a pain in the ass, Jack knows that, and a ickle tiny tip i learnt while moving stubborn ass CVRTs and possibly Abbotts (not got one) once removed from tracks, drive forklift 90* on to front or rear, attach a chain, slightly lift off suspenders (as you did) and drive forward backward to steer dead CVRT/Abbott whatever, if you have to move further, drive in a slightly circular arc, saves all that naffing about. driving forks in and out underneath lifting side shifting, putting down, more swearing, more side shifting, throwing Jacks prize teddy out the pram, Ted getting upset with colourful language (should really make him an officer, he walks like one, head down, don't know what they are doing, my ears are bleeding)
That "box you can't get hold of" is a Chieftain/Challenger IFCS CIU. Probably can't program it anymore because I don't think anyone has the necessary device. I wonder what happened to them all.
It’s been a few frosty Fridays since I shoved tracks round with a fork truck. One had done so much ‘impact shoving’ that the chassis was bent where the tilt rams mounted :D
Saw you at tanks trucks & weapons of warfare last year, Jack was wearing a Milf Hunter T-shirt, my son has an unusual fascination with it, could you please tell me where to get one it would make his day
I made the tyre molds for the Challenger Tank a while ago to mold the tyres onto the rims (bit bigger than that, it was a heavy mold tbh ). lol Also made the molds to add the rubber to the links etc .
Finally subscribed been really enjoy in your content not only gives a smile but learns what my uncles went through in the war two uncles both of them went through Battle of the bulge in Sherman tanks I’ll be interested to see if you work on any of those, keep it fun .
The holes in the spricket should realy be opened up to the next size, or be sleeved as using the same size bolts as at present will cause rapid wear in the holes.
Do you know what torque wrench they used to tighten those nuts for those drive wheels? Not only was it quite heavy, except it needed to be picked up by a crane. No, it certainly wasn't an electronic torque wrench, it be be a mechanical style of them. Knowing that the operator of that crane would be quite a distance from it, it would have a loud click when it's at the correct torque reading. No, you certainly wouldn't be able to lift it. It was that heavy.
How easy is it to source new road wheels? Is there anyone who can make/fit new rubber tyres onto the existing road wheels & what could it cost to do that?
Hi, ein Video über euch und was ihr gelernt habt währe mal interessant, wer steckt hinter Mr.Hewes. Man wird halt Neugierig wer was macht und ob alle das Hauptberuflich oder zum Hobby haben.
Are there companies around in the UK that can refurbish those road wheels? Is that rubber ‘tyre’ vulcanized onto the metal rim? Good luck, enjoy each and everyone of your vids!!
Running gear on Dianne is basically in sh!t state. Track is deffo scrap bushes have gone. Good thing is 43 series spares are easily obtained. Nick the prick has plenty too!
Hi Joe ( yea me again .. sorry 😊) Loving the videos your doing and its great that your giving us more and more information as you guys continue with the jobs your doing !! QUESTION can the tracks and the idlers wheels be re shod with new rubber or are they heading for the Scrap pile?
