RESTORING A T-34/85

[@MrHewes]

What did everyone think to jacks heavy breathing at the end? 🥴🤣

[@agusti92]

Couldn't hear it due to my own heavy breathing upon seeing the t34 back in the spotlight.

Another great video Joe!!! When you were driving the ol T-34 into your dads shed, I couldn’t stop thinking of an ol dog I had who dragged his mangled body home for repair after a night out with the coyotes. He knew I’d mend him back to health cause I loved him, and home is were he needed to be. Fricken dog was tough as nails. I’m thinking the universe delivered that ol T-34 to your doorstep cause it deserved better, and you were designated to do the mending. That tank and my dog have a lot in common. Good luck and thanks so much for the video. It made my day. 😃⚙️🔧🛠

Love to hear about the procedures involved. Pretty unique and frankly mental proffesion tbh, love it, big respect.

You need to make the old engine into a display Joe , Truly amazing it still ran ,

That engine is a survivor if I've ever seen one.

Yep, that would be an interesting piece in a museum.

[@robertsneddon731]

[@busterdee8228]

Great to see it clawing back to life. I've put four rods through a pan, blueing the crank and cam, and breaking a cylinder wall, but I still had something to work with. Your crank and block made me sick. So glad your mate came through.

[@R1PPA-C]

I hope there's some veterans somewhere in the world that are able to watch these videos of you restoring and (attempting to) drive the tanks they used to live in ... Especially these WWII monsters, I've a feeling it'll bring back big emotions for them 🫶🏻

[@paoloviti6156]

There is a bit to do on this T-34/85 but you can see that you guys are already doing a great job. I really hope you or whoever fix properly the engine and other things. Am really looking forward to see this tank on the road 👍👍👍

I can't imagine the cost for custom made seals. I fully understand the need for having several projects going at once, parts supply for old/obsolete vehicles being hit or miss at best. I have that issue on a much smaller scale with automotive parts.

You must adopt the attitude of the horny walrus. Always looking for a tight seal.

Многие уплотнения, прокладки и сальники можно напечатать на 3D принтере специальными филаментами. Я к этому пришел год назад, т.к. сейчас оригинальные запчасти иногда не возможно купить из наличия и приходиться долго ждать, а техника должна работать и зарабатывать, а не простаивать в мастерской.

[@ingmarwaffenstrat3449]

That remembered a short trip i had in czech republic, apart the fact we drove a t34 to a bbq in the forest, i shot comparatively an M16 and a kalashnikov (at a shooting range). That’s exactly the feeling i got in this video. The M16 is quiet civilised, WHILE THE AK47…. Roughly a plumbing tube fixed on a piece of wood, absolutely rough, shooting everywhere but in the target, spitting its sleeves in your face (im left handed). But it made history and they went to Berlin.

Still can't believe the original engine was running while it was basically completely knackered 😂

[@31terikennedy]

You call that running? :D

[@MrHewes]

And it had power 🤣

[@korana6308]

It was designed that way on purpose, with the most tolerances in it's build for the mass scalability of it's production. Hence why it was the most produced tank of the WW2.

Mate it's a 80 year old tank which was literally dag up from the swaps... what did you expect? T34 was the best tank of it's time if we are talking in terms of scalability and it's modernization potential, it was very versatile. And it was the most produced tank of the WW2.
