PAINTING FV432 & FIXING A SULTAN

[@450moto9]

I restore military vehicles here in the US and nothing gets me pumped up as much to go work on my projects than watching your video and enjoying a cup Of coffee, my current project is a 1952 dodge M37

[@MrHewes]

Classic Dodge !

[@warrenblum3104]

My old pal in Massachusetts has an M-37 and it's great. Glad there are plenty of people around to keep all these military vehicles in service. Thanks

[@6brman224]

As a retired pipefitter, seeing someone use a pair of stillsons is nostalgic for me. All farmers workbenches are like that. If you can't find it you can't steal it.

[@The-RA-Guy]

Oh, right. I thought the bench was an entry for the Turner Prize!. Like Tracy Emin 😂😂

[@MrMkindy]

One of the best channels. Treat Adam to a half decent mask rather than his old Covid one...at 60 I see too many garage workers gettting nasty diseases. Restores my faith that Brits are truely good at everything, keep up the good work.

[@gusgone4527]

We British do excel in many areas. One in which we take great pride is moaning and complaining. To the extent that it has heavily influenced our native sense of humour. Now considered our birth right and something of a tradition. Too many of our ancestors fought and died to win the right for the common man to have his say. Most notably expressing dissatisfaction with those in authority, "taking the piss" and thereby causing offence. The type of free speech that needs the most protection. Use it or loose it. Woke brigade take note!

Nothing like finishing your day standing in a puddle of diesel. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Brigadier9]

Oddly enough, I'm not a great black pudding fan. Now, white pudding or hog's pudding...

[@markstott6689]

All this hard work in an unheated building in a British winter takes serious dedication. That goes for Adam and Jack, too. It can't be great fun for whomever is filming either. It's not like you can wear expensive outdoor gear to stay warm, either. It would be destroyed in no time at all. I shall look forward to the continuing adventures in the Sultan of Swing. 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@mikeschillinger4427]

I'd say that between the layers of clothing and the level of exertion done by everyone except the person behind the camera, 38-40 degrees feels rather good. It keeps one from getting too hot. Working the body as hard as this crew does generates a lot of internal heat. Definitely enough to burn off the morning's bacon and eggs. Probably the wheetabix too!

[@thedeathwobblechannel6539]

And I was going to make a comment about his hi-vis jacket coated with grease. That is a gigantic Red badge of courage says this man knows mechanical s***do you have something it won't start this man can make it run provided it's actually in a position that will run.lmao

[@jond1536]

Thanks for doing all these things to that machinery, Lots of knowledge and MONEY to restore them. for a person (me) that will never have the opportunity to work on those vehicles your videos are GREAT, it is like I am there with all the trials and tribulations you have to go through. Thanks

[@lordcaptainvonthrust3rd]

That Foden is a true Swiss army knife of a truck And stunning to see

[@MrJoeGarner]

Love the videos you guys bring to the table, mechanics working on armored vehicles. I spent 10 years doing this myself in the U.S. Army.

[@frustratedfriar9632]

Just wanted to thankyou, Mr, Hewes, for providing this old bloke with a lot of joy, Been watching your vids (from several years ago up to now) and been a bit envious too. Not sure if we can do the same as you down here in Aussie land. You're on my bucket list now. Sadly, due to illness/disability, I can't travel anymore. But if I could I would come to your place and volunteer for 3 weeks or so in return for being taught to drive a few tanks, APC's and other fighting vehicles. So 'Cheers' to you and your mates and I'm looking forward to more excellent videos.

[@Dan-fu9uy]

Pro tip for those big filters, 16" channel lock works wonders in tight spots. Love these guys.

[@DIVERBLOKE1]

All fuel and oil filters are in easy to reach locations with ample space for tools to remove them.... NOT!. Its usually a red knuckle ride getting these things off. Bravo Mr H.

[@The-RA-Guy]

I have never understood why the outside filter cases must be bleeping smooth!! Oh, for some texture and more skin left on my knuckles. That is probably why my hands are knackered in advanced age.

[@alanjackson4646]

As an ex diesel submarine Artificer I feel your pain. Fit the engines in and the fit ancillaries and build the engine room around it as tightly as you can.

[@paulmcintyre4235]

We never sprayed these things. Before every Major Generals inspection in West Germany the crew would brush paint them. There was years of brush paint built up on these 😂

[@stuarttaylor6493]

I like the way all the serviceble parts on these vehicles are easily accessible!

[@sararedfearn4691]

See, 4:10. The Yorkshire Regiment. Good to see that my old Regiment kept the Sultans paper work up. Also and more importantly the overall condition looks to be good. Not forgetting the flood. Thank once again for the memories.

[@yanto63]

Good seeing the CVRT family, I was the project manager for the dieselisation project in 1999-2001

[@brendanukveteran2360]

[@rickrichards2829]

Today I replaced the egr valve on my trusty Vauxhall Vectra although its only 100th of what you do, it certainly has given me a greater appreciation of your work

[@shaunvduke]

Good work! Had to chisel mine off.....

[@richardsprojects]

Remember My Dad telling me how they sprayed the inside of tanks, he was in REME 1950's .They tied the spray gun handle on and lowered it through the hatch and just spun it around while stood ontop

[@mopartshemi]

Those cummins 12Vs are my absolute favorite engines

[@deanberchenbriter8758]

Not Cummins. Detroit

[@2old4gamez]

I learned to drive in a 432 back in 88. Although our later upgrade to Warrior OPV was a greatly needed and welcomed , I still have fond memories of good old 13 EA 57, a.k.a. The Beast.

[@BrianBrown-f9i]

Back in the ‘60s we were using a Michigan 75 bucket loader’s 9 litre engine compressor to spray paint equipment from R.A.F blue to Olive green. MPF came into hangar, to say he was not pleased was an understatement. Just to add to stupidity the machine was resprayed by civilians as it was part of their contract. Mind you we had to do all the prep and masking.

[@clungepoker6749]

Excellent viewing for a Saturday morning, can't think of anything I would rather do while having my brekkerz and second brew of the day... t'anks Joe and the gang, t'anks everso much 👍🏻

[@MarcLoageDJ]

Those Hawker energy batteries where a nightmare to change. Fond memories of changing those way too many times in a Sultan.

[@DevilbyMoonlight]

I remember back in the 80's being dicked to paint these things with paint brush in the MT back in the day they had to be painted two 3rds green and one 3rd black.. same with the other vehicles in the MT at the time.

[@ralfpichel4460]

Unfassbar auf welchen engen Raum das alles verbaut ist! Danke für deine Videos, köstlich und amüsiert das zu schauen.

[@stevesalvage1089]

Great full English, best morning start, see foden to the rescue again , thanks for sharing brilliant,

[@johndeere1951a]

That 3 foot Snap On pry bar with claw seems to be your most popular tool. From freeing up injection pump plungers to hatch doors. Lovely jubly ✌️

[@mstx1007]

Always, always good to see a video of you chaps. Greetings from Texas USA

[@juststeve5542]

I'm amazed when you hear a starter no engaging you don't cry out "Oh not again!"

[@MostlyInteresting]

In the states we used to call that red primer, red lead, because it was red and full of lead dust. It worked well. And no one tried to eat the paint and ingest lead.

[@ianwestmoreland5950]

You're on a winning streak Joe, Jack & Adam progressing on their own jobs, and yours is going well too, no problems, I hope the good luck continues. 👍😃

[@samrodian919]

Joe instead of buggering around bending your dads screwdriver trying to get that filter off, all you had to do was uncouple the pipes either side of the filter housing and take the whole unit off and put it in a vice and unscrew the filter with your stilsons then pop a new filter on and refit it.

[@AdamBest1920]

That’s easy to say when sat there watching

[@bigmac60]

Definitely. The best way though 😂

[@MrHewes]

Don’t think the corroded pipe work would have put up with being disturbed

[@Jin-Ro]

I replaced a rear N/S brake cylinder on a 1982 military Land Rover. Undid the pipe union, and ended having to replace the entire braking system. If you don't have to undo old pipes, don't. If you do, then make sure you have the time and budget to replace everything attached to that system.

[@marknewell7355]

Wow, you have the coolest stuff! The FV432 looks fantastic, good job! Every time I see one of those, it reminds me of the film 'The Tank', where an abandoned FV432 is the main star of the film.

lol , i was willing that fuel filter to turn .. glad i could help

[@MrSeeuu]

Hi Joe!!! Nice drop on a Saturday morning!!! Glad the adjustable spanners got replaced with a 24” pipe wrench. 😃 Luckily, Dad’s screwdriver was available to replace them both! LOL All ribbing aside, I’m thinking (because of your advanced abilities and determination) you could have completed that task with a stick and a stone. Great Video!!!! 😃👍🏻👍🏻

[@jimmcculloch3786]

Thank you Mr Hewes, for a great start to a Saturday! What else would i rather be doing, lol :)

[@troopercarr8303]

The gear wrench adjustable pry bars are the best in my opinion. Buy the set big and small one.

I want a Foden compressor now, also can't believe you didn't go missed a spot just to annoy those painting

[@AdamBest1920]

That’s how you get punched through the wall

[@shazbotnanu7037]

Having worked on LAV 3's and watching Joes videos I never understood storing vehicles with all the hull plugs in. They always end up full of water even if tarped it seems. You should see the damage it can do when there is water up to the floor boards that then freeze solid in the winter, ends up like an ice box that takes over a day to thaw out inside.

[@marky59]

[@viviangrabowski6506]

I once had a diesel car and in the winter 2 of the 4 glow plugs broke and I couldn't drive home... - then I had a helpful idea...!! I exposed the intake tract and got an electric heat gun and held it in there and then the engine started...!! I also worked in demolition for 2 years and always changed the attachments for the excavator drivers and greased the excavators...!!

[@stevo762002]

Years since I've seen a Sultan. Used to be my Company Car back in the day. I was in when we had our fleet changed from the Petrol J60s to Cummins Diesel.

[@Vile-Flesh]

Thank you for another splendid video. I really enjoy your uploads.

[@paulhinkley1572]

Brings back memories of driving a Jag-engined Sultan in the 80s. 😊

[@Bob-kb5pv]

20:16 I used to win a very leaky timber hulled boat that had twin BMC marinised diesels. I was for ever taking the starter motor off to free it up.

[@daviddowding4115]

I used to park up my DAF from mid November to Easter. Just connected the battery’s turned the key and off we went. I never understood how these Cummings were so easy to start. Mine had a loose baffle in the exhaust which made a wonderful sound.

[@HOWEARTDOTNET]

If you ever do any more grinding please get some Cubitron disks. They remove material two to three times faster than a grinding wheel - it comes off in little ribbons so it is actually cutting the metal. Great channel, BTW.

[@angrybill]

There are people on my side of the pond who have pioneered reconditioning automotive batteries by hooking welders to the batteries and boiling the sulfates from the lead plates within the batteries. As opposed to simply trying to recharge them unsuccessfully with ordinary battery chargers. Have you guys ever looked into doing something akin to that with your military batteries? There's no magic there. If your batteries are of the lead/acid varietiy then your welders would do to your batteries what ours do to ours. I, myself, have half dozen or so elderly batteries in my shop that show no willingness at all to accept any more charging that I intend to try to rejuvenate in that fashion with my "Lincoln" welder one day soon. I am loving your videos, especially for your liberal senses of humor. Please keep up the great work!

[@Wilko601st]

[@Badegg3314]

Screw clamp metal band filter removal tool with a lever tube to slide over the handle. Also as prep to avoid 'kicking yourself' breakages. Highest temperature steam cleaner , at point blank range against filter housings etc. (Heat & general disturbance of corrosion & crud).It's a handy trick for where Gas heat is a no no.

[@DelticEngine]

I'd never come across this channel until very recently. Having watched a few, I have found I am developing a keen interest in such vehicles. I had no idea that it was possible to privately own and run one. I would really like to know more about privately owning and operating such vehicles, as well as operating them on public roads.

[@aserta]

[@santeritoikka]

Did you insert the small ring sealer into the diesel filter? The carefully removed filter had a one on it, but the replacement kit didn’t have a new one in. I believe your fuel is bypassing the filter currently.

[@PandaJ]

I was wondering about that, have same if not similar filter on Sennebogen 821 not all the new filters come withe the 2 o-rings..

Amazing how you can become absorbed by a couple of guys changing an oil filter. Inspiring! if it stops pissing I might go outside and do likewise with the Landcruiser.

[@eeextreme2812]

You said you the CVRT seats are a pain your right easiest way to get them out is to 1.make sure the seat is in the full rear postion, remove the cushion and back rest then the plate the cushion sits on. 2. Make sure you've got a long handled rachet with you. 3. Stand in the middle where the seat plate was make sure the seat moves up and down with 1 hand on the lever and 1 on the back bar of the seat. 4. Once in the up position use the long handled ratchet down the side of the rails to ease them off the footwell bolts you can then just lift the seat easy peasy. The issue it has is it gets stuck in the wrong position on the rails which makes it had to remove so being stood where the seat plate is allows you to use your body weight and operate thr levers at the same time to move the seat if needed. You can also remove the decks with 2 people if you remove the louvers first if you don't want to use your dad contraption just watch your fingers when your remove those pivot bolts and needs 2 people to line them up when putting them back on
