One day in Afghanistan, en route to a French base, one of our HMMWVs sprang a small leak in an inaccessible corner of the radiator. We limped into the base, took it to a mechanic, who took a look at the hole, shook his head, and said he was going to go to the kitchen to get an egg. After I translated this for my lads, I was met with stunned looks. "What is he going to do with an egg?" "Have you never heard of an egg to plug a radiator?" "No...." I was beginning to wonder if it was a lost art or just a european thing, I had never considered it possible it was an arcane piece of knowledge not commonly known. You have redeemed my faith. And yes, the egg did get us the two hours back home where we could then replace the radiator. Looking forward to seeing the upgraded vehicle at Aquino.

The Square-body C/K chassis fitted to a tank chassis is the coolest thing. Nothing else on top of the tank hull will be cooler than the C/K, and it should be kept that way, unless you figure out some way to make whatever is mounted on top easily (relatively speaking) interchangeable modules. For instance, The C/K, and a KW W900, retro Cadillac hearse body, stretched 6-8 door Suburban chassis "Suburbanator", old deuce and a half chassis, etc

You should do more videos with the tank museum. They could use the promotion. God knows they are putting great videos out about maintaining their tanks and their Canadian history and nobody in Canada seems to pay attention or know about it. Maybe work out a deal where you come out and "volunteer" sometimes and film it to put oin your channel as a cross promotion? Its the largest collection of working tanks in North America and it should be something ALL Canadians should be proud of and KNOW about. I myself didn't know they existed until the Cheiftan did a vid about them a couple years ago. I'd go there at least once a month if I lived in Ontario. Besides how cool would it be to work on some of that heavy iron once in a while?

When they said the M4 Sherman was reliable they were not lieing. Thats a 75 year old suspension and transmission still working perfectly fine. I remember how I once drove a 20 year old opel astra and the suspension litteraly fell apart as I drove (the back left suspension broke threw the chassis, wasn't pritty). The fact that this works SO well after all that time is incredible.

I would get rid of the truck frame, make standoffs on the tank itself to mount the body and box, have the body nearly flush with the cross members, good way to reduce weight and give it a better profile. Also add access hatches in the box and in the cab in front of the seats for easy repairs. I don't see the need for a full floor under the tank so maybe get rid of that too and just do some skid plates?

If you replace the cab, you should put something like a camper trailer or RV on top of it. Seems a little bit of a waste to have something that can go anywhere and just have a dinky little truck on top of it. With semi truck cab airbags all the way around, those big cushioned semi truck seats in the front, you have something you can take deep into the woods and might not cause butt devastation the entire journey. Or maybe an old boat, and even connect a big wooden ship wheel to the steering system and stand up on the deck dressed like a pirate.

If my memory serves me right that is, as I said 1987-89 and I was a kid, LOL and so aswell have no clue at whoever built it or what happened to it.

The "egg trick" was certainly pretty common knowledge here in Scotland in the '80s but I never heard of the pepper/coffee thing. I was always told only to use the egg if you were actually going to replace the radiator, as it would often cause the opposite effect and block the rad passages. In those days, I ran my vehicles on scrapyard parts and the egg would work for long enough for a radiator to appear in the yard, sometimes a good few months.😁 Great episode Rich, fun and educational in equal parts.✔ Have to admit though, I was pretty surprised at your smart decision at the bridge.😂 Cheers for now.

You have a NAPCO spar carrier base, they called them the “M4A3”, but they’re a hodgepodge of parts from whatever was available in the 60’s. They were used to carry a logging machine used around the world, the “steel spar yarder”. They usually ended up with steel tires on the bogie wheels, because the rubber didn’t last long carrying twice the weight it was intended to carry. The springs are often broken, as well. When the yarders eventually got scrapped, the carrier was often left intact, “because it’s a tank!” Cabs were put on them, different motors, cranes, etc. The hull is usually mild steel, with the exception of the cast armour differential housing. Madill never built these, they bought the carrier pre assembled from NAPCO. The same carrier was used by Skagit, of Sedro Wooley Washington, and Tyee Machinery Works in Vancouver, BC. Originally they were powered by a horizontal engine on the deck, through a torque converter, power take off, angle drive, and a down drive to the original transmission. First gear was usually disabled, as the big diesel, combined with the 60 ton weight, put too much strain on the final drives in 1st. gear.

Tmar industries in Campbell river bc will have all the parts needed. If ya want cheaper used parts Saratoga ventures also in campbell river. these style tracks are used widely in logging here on the coast. Old tech nowadays but everything from the madill pipes (yarders) and the m40 tank drills used for road building, anyways cheers! Sweet ride

My uncle was blown out of one of these on one of the Pacific Islands We took during the war, I am ashamed to say I don't know which island. He laid on the beach for three days before they knew He was still alive. This was a very interesting video to watch. He was the turret gunner I am told.

There's a company in the southern states of the u.s.a. that built a bunch of those for the off road use for power line trucks or for use where a road truck couldnt go . Like swamps and fields where there is mud or standig water for long periods of time. They used components off of tanks or similiar to tanks and mounted bucket truck booms,small cranes , and tree cutters etc.... On em. I think it was called panther somethimg. Not sure but they are still making them because i see new ones all the time

Selleys Knead-it is the best thing for a hole in the rad. I was putting a brand new hydraulic oil cooler in a Komatsu FEL and when putting the rad in next to it poked a hole in it! I temporarily plugged it with Knead-it and several years later its never leaked so never got fixed properly.

I figured upon seeing this originally that the tank chassis must have came from a yarder or a tank drill with it being yellow. Madill made a lot of yarders with WWII surplus chassis' back in the day. Very cool!

I just noticed the BC plates on the back of the squarebody too. Definitely confirms that the chassis is from a yarder or tank drill now, haha.
