Sorry to hear of loss of OddBall, Best tank commander ever. Grand Amen

[@blackcountryme]

Always with the negative waves....

[@Ncb58]

All day long I think chieftain was the best looking tank ever. I love being a mechanic on them (even though my knees have never forgiven me) and there was nothing as scary listening to the squadron move in the middle of the night in a forest. The sound of the engine the tracks it was just awesome. You bring back so many good memories😊

[@Lewis-kf2pj]

Don’t his little clogs just make him look so adorable? 🥰

[@richardchalk-yb6ko]

Brings back memories, from the 70s, of towing dead chieftains. Changing L60 engines when 120 clicks was considered an exceptionally long life.

[@MrHewes]

We got one running well over 300

[@DraftySatyr]

@@MrHewes Yeah, but the early 70s were pre-Belzona.

[@billgreen4388]

Get the boots back on, thas givin me heebie geebies.

[@taskforce3833]

amazing, Jack must have had the camera the first few minutes as he showed Joe's fly was down but could not get the banner right away. Jack your a good mechanic. Joe watch your fly ! and we want more Ted action in the video's 😛

[@7seriesmax]

Every time I see one of your chieftain videos I want to put a 60 series Detroit in one. The 12.7 L 60 series rated at 550 hp was capable of up to 2100 foot pounds of torque. More than enough torque to power a chieftain. A few years after they were introduced, they came with variable geometry turbos that spool up almost instantly. I’ve actually raced a few out on the highway and they are fast and no joke in a truck. They are super easy to work on compared to a Caterpillar, Cummins or Volvo engine. Also, they can be tuned to a specific torque very easily so as to not grenade the chieftains transmission.

[@bullockjj]

Your best ever episode! Even better than 'getting the engine out of my house'. The sheer power of the tanks. Their weight. Then Jack's words of wisdom 'If I believe what's going on in my head' and nails the tank manoeuvre only to suffer the indignity of completely getting the turret move wrong. Your team work. You slipped the safety ring onto the engine trolley and Jack put the safety pin in. Morecambe and Wise would envy your timing. The detailed explanation of inspecting and removing the engine and the totally unexpected arrival of 'Jackaline' in his/her/them's' high heels made a very serious emgineering operation comedy gold. Well done. Keep it up lads!

I've had a meal on behalf of the company, I get home, sit in front of my PC, and this appears. My cup runneth over. On a Friday to boot.

ok you guys scared me there for a moment........thank god he put his boots back on...whewww!

[@azriel1967]

Sweet gentle Jesus. You rocked the heels Jack

[@CryMoar_]

All I really needed after another standard 10hr day working outside today is coming home to see Jack climbing a tank, in the rain, in high heels. You delivered. Top quality content.

[@paulwalker427]

Great video cheers for sharing

[@julianpalmer4674]

I love Jack's new safety boots!

[@philipcable437]

Well done Joe and Jack! The tracks looked super tight on the chieftain. Also Jack's sense of fashion is spot on. It looks like he's been practicing...a lot.

[@NotALot-xm6gz]

When you have a PAC lift in the afternoon and a summer ball in the evening, get a pair of Jacky Choo platforms and look FABULOUS!

[@twin40dave]

Great to have Jack back 😊 , what an engine that is looking forward to hearing it run 😊

[@MrHewes]

[@FrontSideBus]

Good to see the ARV earning its keep. Poor thing deserves a full restore tbh.

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

The amount of rust is exceeded only by the amount of dry humor. It made my week I must say. Thanks guys.

[@breakawa_y]

I’d flying in from the US to just see Dave , he go hard.

[@kenanderson3859]

Those heels accentuate the prime calf definition on Jack, you can really tell he hasn't skipped leg day at the gym.

[@Spartan902]

Any day where you get to muck around with Tanks etc is a bloody great day! You are living the dream guys. Well my dream anyway and i'm sure yours as well. 😁👍😎🇦🇺 Fun, fun and more fun.(Except for when something breaks down)lol.😱 Always a good post when the persuasion tool is required.

[@jasonjavelin]

Having the Golden Eye Chieftain is awesome. Im not a huge Bond guy but that is really neat. Love the recovery! Dave has a nice sound to him

[@helopilot4878]

“it’s like riding a bike…” that was classic Jack

Yet another awesome vid. Might I suggest a pair of steel toe capped sling backs next time. Just to keep H&S happy.

23.25min Yep it's a bad idea Jack ! showing my age now but , back in the 70s platforms for blokes all the rage which led to injury on the dancefloor , twisted ankle and a dislocated knee cap, got carted off to hospital that night , on crutches for 3 weeks . Yeah go on ave a good laugh🤣🤣🤣

[@ianmckay1780]

Poor Jack, he does look quite good wearing those "stacks" for any other name. Pity he's got the walk down to a Tee... Anyway welcome back to the fold Jack, you were missed, if only because, you went off with a spanner, (Oh, sorry, someone called you a spanner, misunderstood the conversation). Nice piece for work getting that T piece off, and the bolts out of the flywheel, and Joe for his skill with the telehandler too. Nice to see the team back to full strength and in good heart. Thanks for all your work as usual.

[@n0bby_Barnden]

Ted. Foden. Jack in platforms. Another great video.

[@scottnyc6572]

You’re too funny 😂. Of course Jacks platforms saved the day.If i had my passport id love to go to OMH but wouldn’t be enough time to process.Perhaps next year God willing.

@@DraftySatyr Part of the military life is being able to laugh at yourself as much as others in uniform.
