Kurt, 1981 called and wants those shorts back.!
Great work and excellent presentation.
Beau, they call it a mash hammer for obvious reasons. Please, don't lose your left hand. It'll be much worse than any soccer field incident.
I must admit it took me a while to figure out how the units work. 😂😂
Good on yer!, needed the context.
Watching this kind of restoration is trully mesmerising – better than an action movie. What is name of the band playing in the background – I'd love to listen to more of their stuff. Greetings from Poland
You guys have so much patience.
ill just watch it again
I cringe when I see the welding helmet being used as a shield. I didn't know why and looked at the ANSI Z-87.1-2003 "Welding helmets and handshields are protective devices to provide protection for the eyes and face against optical radiation and spatter. Welding helmets shall be used only in conjunction with spectacles and/or goggles." I've never been known as a "Safety Nazi" I can assure you but did work building and repairing all types of industrial machinery through my life as a workman and still have all my fingers, toes and eyes. Please be very careful as the forces with the press are very high. This is my quote to live by "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge" Charles Darwin
We have The Chieftain "using" the tanks. We have Bovington giving useful info… But the real tank p*rn comes from Australia!
👍
Beau sure earned his pay this time. You should start a Buy Beau a Beer (or whatever drink of choice) fund for him and the other guys. I bet you'd get plenty of donations. 😀
👌👌👍👍
Nice into Kurt.
If there's a text/video available which explains how these german Sturms ended into Australia, I'd be deeply interested. Algorithm threw me here.
great intro Kurt, it's better with your intro, for sure !! Great Metal Basher, that Beau !
great reload, good to have the extra bit of intel of the torsion bars, i have often wondered how much loading these torsion bars can put up with, all that twisting, i play with CVRTs they weigh well under 9tons at their heaviest and wonder what they put up with, i've seen the odd broken one, but what does it take to actually break it – great vid
Nice little add-on
Always look forward to my weekly tank restoration fix with you guys. Got to ask when you heat up the metal to get a bolt or something out does it harm the integrity of the metal?
Another wonderful video guys- I'm SO glad you decided to document the work there in this fashion; it's something I've always wanted to see, and look forward to WsW every week. I asked this once before, but I know you get a ton of comments on every video, so it's easy to miss things I'm sure- but I really wonder about the issue of heat treatment and your having to really heat some things to disassemble them- how do you deal with that? Heating to cherry red and beyond will destroy a steel's temper, so do you have to have things re-hardened? And if so, how do you know what hardness it should be? That sounds like hard-to-find information- unless you just test it and see; but then that seems like a lot of work as well.
Don't force it just get a bigger Hammer 🙂
I recamend welding shim first the the nut to the shim much better welding to the stug peace
Hey you guys, they found a Sherman in Canada, maybe you guys can get it?

Here is another tank graveyard for parts in Canada looks like lots of Sherman and later recovery vehicles

OK, my comment is gone, so again…
NOBODY THANKED ME FOR THE SUGGESTION OF USING OXALIC ACID TO DE-RUST THE PARTS BEFORE DISASSEMBLY OF PARTS
So again, You're welcome 😁
ahhh i have a torsion bar system on my truck. This is a gem of a little channel i always loved tanks as a kid
The second upload with the extra little bits of information was really good. I’m glad you reviewed your original. I don’t think many people do that 🙂.
