If filing down a thread and putting in a battery is that dramatic for them, then my job as auto mechanic must be a pure action movie.

[@jamesgalatioto7227]

I've used s thread file a million times in my life and it was never that tense.

[@MotoMUSEUM]

🤣

[@andrewallen9993]

Ahhhh, but that's because you know what you are doing!

[@Wisper0316]

any idiot can use a thred file

[@deezelfairy]

The whole point of a thread file is for when your not being careful! 😂 And how can a thread file do anything other then follow the thread straight? Unless your using it as a hammer 😂

[@benh1216]

To be fair if they messed it up it could have been an absolute nightmare in getting a suitable replacement. That's probably why they were so tense. That's just my opinion though.

[@thomdejong462]

I absolutely ADORE the kettenkrad, such an unique vehicle.

[@tea_and_crumpets6919]

"Get the kettle on then".. "What, a cup of tea?" Perfect

[@EnterpriseXI]

“ it’s from the battle of Normandy” hope Bruce had some paperwork and hard evidence to prove that when he sold it.

[@conba6319]

7 minutes of heavily scripted and directed footage of a simple battery install..... this is why tv is dead.

[@KingCharles3]

con Ba still i enjoy the show

[@podfuk]

me too, but this scripted drama bullshit is totally unnecessary, like making drama from a stupid thread filing WTF?

[@pauln2661]

Holy. That is a Seagull manager. Flies in, makes noise, and shits on everything.

[@SavageGreywolf]

wait, so the only things wrong with it were minor damage to the wheel pin, a bit of corrosion on the terminals and a dead battery?

[@PostUp_Time]

*WHAT A SCRIPTED SHOW. SO IT WAS WORTH 60K NOT RUNNING. PUT A BATTERY IN IT AND ITS WORTH OVER 100K*

[@andrewallen9993]

When it's chugging away the dynamo will charge the battery the twin said. No it won't, it's a dynamo not an alternator!

[@malone9378]

He looks like hez completly outraged and the more he speaks the more out raged he becomes

[@timothycabotaje2821]

0:55 D-Day ❤

[@johnsamu]

Some very easy school boy level basic repairs, thread, battery. The kettenkrad happens to look almost new and all the parts happen to be present. Coincidence ??? ;-)

[@neillh]

The best and greatest twins mechanics on KZbin

[@Rilyn666]

When British tv shows try and be like US tv they fall flat an look scripted an silly......

[@MadComMar]

Rilyn666 yeah, this is really annoying and forced

[@shadowblack1987]

Yepp, just like the US shows they try to mimic lol

[@angloengland559]

US tv does look scripted and silly XD

[@HerrDagerman]

I agree. Very cheap and annoying. At least do some research. "Kattenkrad"... seriously, these are people not interested in ww2, only viewer ratings

[@tird108]

Haha I was thinking that before I even looked at the comments

[@bigmartin]

Well that’s seven minutes of my life I’ll never get bay

[@nowtelsematters]

God this is so dumbed down and scripted.

[@GAMBANJUJJJ]

hey its the Girl's Last Tour Bike

[@Lilljehook]

So they didn't do anything els, before starting a 70+ year old machine. Right..

[@TheOnlyInformant]

I watch Girls' Last Tour and now this pops up...

[@gureno19]

Hows the music when he's using a frickin thread file..... May as well put some suspenseful music for when hes looking for a 10mm socket.

[@bigbearfuzzums7027]

How about English lesson and a education!

[@sammcdonald769]

A thread file are you kidding me. Any competent shop is going to have a full selection of dies and taps. 🤨

[@L_U-K_E]

Lol he never blinks on the scenes where it’s just him and the camera

[@Point221b]

Nice to see Rodney from Fools and Horses is still working, didn't realise he had a twin though!

[@jehoiakimelidoronila6543]

I wish I have a thread file here. It's a must-have for every mechanic.

[@worldwar_history_narrator7451]

the twins have the best job in the world

[@MrExade]

it's made in Germany.. ofc it starts!

[@fransalvicrebustes2359]

Chito and Yuri joins the chat~

[@opmdevil]

Such drama! They had to put the front wheel on place! Such drama! Wow! Such drama!

[@pak40l46]

The wonder of an SdKfz 2. Short for Kettenkraftrad, tracked motorcycle.

[@rockreed3989]

I seen one at the Patton Museum .

[@shiloh280]

This would be a good show if that Brucey character wasnt in it.

[@aceroadholder2185]

No real mechanics were harmed in the making of this video.

That’s a lot of machine for one person.

[@flitsertheo]

It can transport 2 on the back. And it had its own trailer to transport more stuff.

[@bens8822]

people complaining about the scriptedness and editing of these like they came here to get actual diy kettenkrad restoration video

[@statuescher]

I’ve got a picture of my grandfather standing in a captured Kettenkrad in the Western Desert in North Africa, could be the same one?

[@jesseburgess88]

Where's the exhaust smoke ? No central vac from the roof so I'm debating if legit.

[@robertmunoz7543]

Krady?😳 Gor blimey! Jman

[@jakobtuschek1270]

What exactly did they do? they restored a pin for the wheel and cleaned up the battery cable

[@simehong2000]

I wanna this motorcycle

[@sergeantnoone6920]

Combat Dealers is so good! a shame it isn't free tho

[@thegeneral123]

If you visit the Quest TV website, most of the episodes are there to be watched for free. They've been uploading lots of episodes the last month or so. All of S1 and S2 is up, most of S4 and the first 4 of S3.

[@sergeantnoone6920]

@@thegeneral123 k thx

[@jehoiakimelidoronila6543]

"Boiling water dissolves the corrosion" Well thanks for the tip! Might actually use newfound knowledge as a mechanic.

I play this in Company of Heroes PC Game ...

[@davidthomspson9771]

damn...I fell asleep watching this.

[@mastercontrol469]

Christ, these blokes are not actors 😂

[@PancakeBatterfly]

more one night am I right?

[@cormackeenan8175]

I watch an other video instead it was showing paint drying...

[@billhunt2605]

They're pretty funny....Bruce is going to have us for breakfast.lol. Ol Brucey would be shit outta luck if he lost the twins.

[@conceptalfa]

👍 👍 👍

[@SecureGuitar]

Do you know what nemesis means...

[@altair3232]

OMG - missing wheel and battery - serious mechanical problems, yeah, worth made a video where it's not even showing how kette is running, great way for waste my time. *Sory for English

[@nicholaspatton5590]

The frustration translates well. I concur with you.

[@statoilbensin2190]

lol you a neo nazi right?

[@perrytheplumberplatypus8976]

Anything WWII German is my dream

[@siegeunit9081]

Thank god they were an "electrician"

[@steffenrosmus1864]

Kettenkrad and rare ? I knew of some rotting away (about 5 in Germany, 8 in Austria and 16!!!!@ in Norway)

[@ridingwithdavid739]

They built 8500 during the war, and 550 after. Kind of rare, but this show makes it sound like they have an ME 262.

[@kitwalker2968]

Restoring??? Here ya go lads I'll leave you to it...OK. Chucks on a wheel and bungs in a battery. Done. Great restoration. Hello John gotta new mota. Dick wit.

[@thedonofbgfmakoflatty172]

After years of sitting around indoors being neglected. 😂😂 Will the ole girl start up, and running like a top, and be already to enlist within 7:09 minutes? Yes!! Of coarse the Kraftrad starts right up, runs perfectly within a minute, and is ready to enlist.. It's German made.. Awesome video

[@IlIIlMomo]

It’s just a replica

[@imranhazim5434]

Kent-krad

[@vinceking7878]

They need to open the door because of carbon monoxide. Hope they did it off camera

[@MotoMUSEUM]

Functional yes! But this Ketten is a Polish replica made 20 years ago! Its a fake vehicle!!

[@worldwar_history_narrator7451]

How much does a repro cost?

[@MotoMUSEUM]

@@worldwar_history_narrator7451 you can get them for about 70k if done well. I have an original one

[@OfficerDingDong]

@@MotoMUSEUM Prove that you have a original one

[@brucekaraus7330]

How do you know that?

[@MotoMUSEUM]

@@brucekaraus7330 because I work with vintage bikes all my life. Have 160 of them in my museum www.muzej-motociklo.com and I actually know the guys in Poland that make these repro. Also the BMW R75 and the Zundapp KS750...

[@9lettere668]

it belongs to the wermacht - give it back !

[@alexandermccarthy]

It's daft, isn't it? What should have been a mildlly interesting bit about replacing the battery in a Kett, turns in to some overhyped nonsense, and makes the twins, who are genuinely brilliant engineers in their own rights, become participants in a 3rd rate, day time reality TV show.

[@deezelfairy]

Back in real, non TV land... 'Stick a battery on that when you've got 5 minutes lads, punters coming for a look tommorow' 🤣 Why the fake drama, its pathetic

[@bradbrown8759]

Wut???

[@sscfc1]

The big guy does not give a shit about anything except money

[@henryatkinson1479]

Everything was over exaggerated. These fixes would have taken like 15 minutes or less if they didn't script it to death.

[@tomqelectronica]

First

[@vinces7001]

So what! Do you want a medal or kettenkrad as a prize?

[@erikahl7934]

Kettenrad not kettenkrad or whatever he is calling it

[@CS-nq9sq]

What? It is Kettenkrad, where did you get "Kettenrad" out of?

[@TheLegend-xz7ou]

@@CS-nq9sq maybe he thinks it because kettenrad actually sounds “better“ in german. The K is just short for the bike/“rad“ being motorised. Of course you are right though

[@wirelessone2986]

We all know what it is no matter which its called

[@davidkermes393]

Full name kettenkraftrad . KettenKraftRad .

[@ulliulli]

right, Ketten-Kraft-Rad or rougly translated: Track-Powered-Bike

[@Flugfrosch25]

Guys its kettenrad and not kettenkrad

[@nicktigerman4616]

Right? I thought it was a weird name. Without the K it makes sense.

[@Kalumbatsch]

Bullshit. It's Krad, short for Kraftrad.

[@Alexzander19736]

Every time another story. watch?v=qIiHshLeNgE

[@suds5866]

This guy needs to stop shouting at the camera his breath probably smells like fish & chips

[@tird108]

This shits so corny it's ridiculous like seriously I bet they drove that think in there took the battery out and wheel off and put the shit back together ....

[@stevengriffin7873]

Kettenkrad not kAttenkrad ffs.

[@davidkoehler136]

you really need to learn your history

[@yankee1376]

Not exactly a massive repair job there.

[@martinburch2416]

Love the show but hate how it's scripted. Make it more natural.

[@Burnersforvanlife]

So basically, they just fitted a wheel and battery, wtf, just wasted 7 minutes of my life ffs

[@brickunleasher7631]

Pls stop butchering german vehicle names it’s kettenrad that’s how it’s spelled and pronounced

[@theprussian4616]

I mean, I like the vehicle. But damn, they say things with the flattest and deadest voices you can tell its poor acting and not them being, well, them.

[@willysnut57]

How juvenile do you think your viewing audience is? You probably lose many people just a minute or two into your video. I could go on, but I won't.

[@JohnSmith-zv8km]

nOT THE MOST INTERESTING PROGRAMME, did not even show us the engine.

[@stevengriffin7873]

So is this 'kattenkrad' a genuine WW2 or one of the thousands of post war ones built for farmers.All the time Bruce craps on I'm thinking please shut up I don't want to hear your BS.I don't think I would trust anything he says,wouldn't even feel confident buying a used wheel barrow from that merchant.

[@ridingwithdavid739]

By the way...that License on the fender?... Any variant that used one Never,repeat Never had "SS" in the serial. All carried WN,WD, and WL.
