Getting Back On Track With The T-34

With winter just around the corner, I thought it was time to get the T-34 not only undercover but somewhere where the team can work on it properly.
Getting the T-34 in the shed is one thing.
However to get the building back up to a nice working environment will be another.
Working on these sorts of vehicles takes up lots of building space.
It’s not only important for me to be able to work on several different vehicles at once but it’s also important so I can keep a constant variety between projects for your viewing pleasure.

The problem is that Linda doesn’t identify as a Foden 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

This is true 🤣

The Foden has an awesome engine note. *no innuendo!

[@Gibbo919]

Was at Tiger Day at Bovington this last Saturday and got to see the FV4005 in person, absolutely cracking job on that Joe, I mean we all know Ted did most of the work.

[@Chris.Swearengin]

Totally awesome to see the tanks and community y’all built. So inspiring. Mr Hewes y’all have a great evening.

[@nickjoy8868]

Your experience is an absolute match for my philosophy- sheer bloody mindedness and bad language will eventually get most things done! Moving a T 34 solo, that was a big ask; should be very proud of yourself Joe.

[@lordcaptainvonthrust3rd]

For what it's worth Mr Hewes that T-34 is being rebuilt in more advanced facilities than where it was originally manufactured Bentley looks nice in the background 👍 Ted, you are doing a superb job work considering the workforce you have 😂

[@stco2426]

I'm sure you're right. I think for the Battle of Lenningrad they came out of the factory unpainted and went straight in to fight.

[@samharvey6194]

​@@stco2426 yep unpainted and with the drivers trench coat folded up to act as a seat

That gorgeous Rolls-Royce looks so out of place there. Love it!

[@mitchellbennis9236]

Wow, I can’t believe it, I was hooked on your channel, the first time I watched you guys with the T-34 and it’s been 2yrs already. It seems like it’s gone full circle since then. Watching you, Jack and the rest of the guys work and have fun is enjoyable and even watching your girlfriend getting involved in some of the projects. Excited to see you catching up on the T-34. Cheers to you all.

[@Zermattquattro]

I’ve gotta say that Im Impressed with Teds organisational skills in keeping you boys in-line but also his impressive collection of fire extinguishers at 12:20. He does look a proud lad.

[@TestECull]

0:26 It's amazing to see how well that engine is running knowing full well what had gone so terribly wrong inside it. Stands as a testament to how rugged those engines were! Inefficient, smoky, crude as they were, they would run when others won't.

[@ivan.i.gerasimov]

Can't believe it's already been 2 years! Thanks for all your hard work, Mr Hewes!

[@edzus100]

Hewes is the type of guy ... who can do just about anything ... and we bunch will watch ... just like the Grand British Trio.

[@Lisa-Azra_Broad]

You look like the Joker driving that T34

Toptastic glad lord Teddy is staying dry in all this rain Good result getting that shifted on your own sometimes when your on your own it's amazing what you get done with sheer determination 💪 Grab a cider 🤠

[@freddyfudpucker70]

“This could be extremely sketchy” …. haha 😅 why do you think we all love and watch your vids? It’s either on fire, extremely sketchy or ted! And not necessarily in that order 👍🙂 please don’t stop doing what you do best

[@simonfowler1290]

Very impressive and I find moving cars on the drive a chore!!

[@howardkey1639]

Well Mr Hewes, that 2 years has gone by fast,, nice to see the T-34 on the move again. 👏👏👏

[@Meanlonger]

Well done, Ted, he couldn't have done it without you.

[@jimmydesouza4375]

The dogs playing in the background throughout the video are cute.

[@grahambaker9377]

Just Ted having a break

[@jamesmarsh1831]

I used to work for Linde lift building the fork lifts, in order to move or tow the lift truck you have to unlock the hydraulic motor and brake system, look at the brake valve and you will find a grease nipple. Insert grease with your grease gun manually until the brakes are released. Do not use too much pressure as you will damage the system. You will find the complete procedure in the operator manual that must be with the truck, probably in the pouch behind the seat

[@stevewebster5729]

Nicely done Ted. Joe should have gotten you to move the turret as well...

[@darrenwardell3079]

Good to see Ted & chisel head having some fun together.

[@Paddington60]

Thank you for bringing us along!

[@wimpietel]

You do the good work,on you're one. and still thinking,how to remove, inside the shed, Great 👍👍👍

[@stevewareing8525]

Simple physics Mr Hewes, the hull has more wheels to spread the weight, the turret was on a dolly with small casters so it was guaranteed to dig in. 😉.

[@steveschnetzler5471]

Impressive driving, always a pleasure watching. thanks.

[@ajbrennan6456]

Legendary effort Mr H, felt sure you were heading for a little touch (hull vs wall ) towards the back of the workshop.....cracking job 😊

[@paul4124]

Yours is the only channel that l tick the ‘like’ button immediately. I don’t even do that for the Aus Armour and Artillery museum, and l live in Queensland. Good on yer mate ❤🇦🇺

[@kiwioka51newzealand]

What a great solo job. Ted looked absolutely engrossed in the whole proceedings. Well done Ted

[@clungepoker6749]

Great effort considering you were on your own, looking forward to seeing work on the T34 progress after being put on the backburner 👍🏼

[@robertnisbet5590]

Your the man and working single crewed I thought it was just me that did that. Not to mention the fact these things and put together using huge gantry systems. Well done and a great video.

Fantastic work as a solo warrior sir!

So great!!! the world is going to hell in a handbasket this morning but Mr. Hewes is providing an excellent distraction by moving a T-34 around.

nice seeing you at tiger day. loved seeing the new spud fv005. walked past you as we entered tiger day by the main arena. love your channel

[@Spartan902]

Really looking forward to seeing the T-34 fully restored. One of my favourite looking tanks.👍😎🇦🇺❤️

[@deanedeane4318]

The easiest way ive found to move heavy things on small wheels on a yard is planking or strips of ply , tedious but if you haven't got the pulling power it's an option ..... During the 50s onward my grandfather had to plank his Dozer sometimes 30miles to get to the next job as lowbeds etc weren't available..... He had a team of men for this , apparently they often were very long days....... Great job anyways with your mission , I see you had Chisel head on the job also ! 😉🙃😎 NZ

[@slateslavens]

I'd come over and help, but I'm in northern Idaho. Help with the tanks - I'm not a mason. But I am a mechanic and spent some time as an M2 Bradley turret mech.

[@jonh9561]

Never enough space in the sheds and never enough sheds ............... I feel your pain!

[@mgbrv8]

The whole job would’ve gone a lot smoother if you would’ve consulted Teddy first just saying☝🏻😉

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

20 extinguishers! Fire safety conscious, I see! Me too.

[@jarryan2136]

The fact it lasted so long while in bits still amazes me

[@HD-dz4uk]

The place I work at has various Linda's from 2 tons to 7 tons , they all lift well over those ratings. I'd still like a Tank preferably a Cromwell, only chance of that is a stick together airfix job. Great entertainment beats ordinary tv hands down cheers 👍

Excellent work Mr.Hewes👍

[@lablackzed]

Ted did a good job as always .🍺

[@SopwithPup1916]

That last bit is extremely funny xD 13:31

[@philyew3617]

Why was the Turret such a barsteward and the main body so easy ? In two simple words--- Bigger Wheels ! When you've got nothing to do 🤣, you need to adapt that dolly and fit Bigger wheels, eg. something like Land Rover Wolf style. You would need to fabricate some sort of stub axles so you don't alter the overall height much and get rid of those Piano size casters. Love the channel, thanks for taking the time to share what you love doing😊.

[@Oliverdobbins]

Gotta say, it sounded fantastic when it ran. So burbly and throaty. Definitely the voice of an engine that started smoking at a young age. 🚬

[@Max_parallax]

Subbed for the t-34 all those years ago. Stuck around cause the content is 10/10

[@seanroche4277]

You could use an epoxy primer, it's waterproof and sticks amazingly

[@charlesteton]

Excellent, as always. C

[@stco2426]

Great round up and handy that Ted rounded you up.

[@Ayane13b]

You only needed to have that safety strap until you put it on, when it then becomes redundant lol

[@oldjaaag9804]

That's the best lone working safely video i have ever seen!

[@adrianking8538]

You need to drill a hole in the end off your pallet tyne, you then can put a pin in pointing skyward with a clip to clamp to the tyne. You can then move things around using the pin and straps and chains cannot slip off

[@mentalltheo2960]

thanks Ted, that you keep an eye on Mr Hewes. lol

[@EJHarrop]

Oh bugger.... few expressions are better to say. Nicely done and Teddy was in control, no worries. Jack not wandering about moaning about his mum was nice too, Cheers mate.

[@nnglnd]

Nice to see ted and wedge face having fun.

Chisel head

[@WilliamOBrien-s8x]

Glad to see I'm not the only one that gets in a pickle moving things

[@carlwilson1772]

Good video. The work will go better and more smoothly once you have painted out and weather sealed the workshop. Right work proceeds from right thinking which proceeds from right surroundings. Good job moving that yourself. And to think I pat myself on the back because I managed to get the Harrison milling machine I am restoring out of my workshop to paint strip it, by myself. Mind you, I don't have a forklift or a telehandler.

[@campbellmcaulay7107]

I'm not especially mechanically minded but I like to think I know the difference between a supercharger and a turbo. I'm also not an habitual KZbin viewer either. However, I did want to say just how captivated I've been by this channel in the few days simnce I found it. You guys/girls/dogs are obviously living your best life and its been huge fun to watch. I also love how you show/explain how certain bits of machinery work/fail/get fixed (More please!). My only complaint is that Ive struggled to work out how to watch the T34 restoration in order. Keep it up and Viva Ted!

[@paulwalker427]

Great job, looking forward to this one getting some attention

[@fehuthel]

Now that I’ve seen what lies underground, I can’t look at the inside of these buildings without wondering what they all were like in their former heyday.

I'm a carpenter, not a bricky. But I'll gladly help with the doors. Give me a shout 👍🏻

Yep.. The Linde hydrostatic drive is a real pain when you're on you own and get it stuck..

[@leenewman4344]

Good effort, Joe, considering you were filming aswell!

[@ThirdDegreeWitchExplores]

I'm old enough to remember when Telehandlers started to appear on farms in my area , such a handy tool to have at ones disposal (obviously not as handy as Ted and the Foden) and so much better than a Fordson power major with a shitty loader on it like we had lol

[@raykaufman7156]

I think that demonic scene of you driving the T-34 is what hooked a lot of us on the channel. Haven't regretted it a minute. 👍

[@AndrewMurphy-y4q]

Tanks for the footage great

[@sparkplug0000]

Regarding your emblem painted on the front of the T-34, I also saw on the OT-64 SKOT an emblem of a dog’s profile within a badge, which I think I’ve seen before, logically Polish or Czechoslovakian military perhaps. You really should create a similar emblem for all your vehicles using Ted’s profile. Once he’s noticed you painting your own name on the tanks, Poo will probably insist on it.

[@esaucl]

Those early videos with the engine running and the tank moving are insane after knowing the condition that engine was in

[@philleeson7835]

The logo on the front apron looks good Joe

[@Wilko601st]

Weather has been ##### every time I step outside it chucks it down....I can't stop wearing shorts until the clocks change (it's just a thing) and I have no idea where my work jacket is 🤦‍♂️. Anyway appreciate the video and we'll done one getting stuff done.
