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😊

[@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.

[@azriel1967]

Sweet gentle Jesus. You rocked the heels Jack

[@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!

[@alexrandall3685]

Watching two grown men and an ARV visibly age. First one to have a hernia wins!

[@Noxidsignorantia]

Mr Hewes nearly squished his famliy jewels hahaha those tracks as stiff as fuck.

Good to see you all on normal duties again, Ted in charge, Jack prancing around and Joe doing what he is told. Ahhh, the world can rest again!

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🤣🤣🤣

[@DraftySatyr]

I have distressingly similar memories. Maybe not quite so bad, but all the same ...

Great video cheers for sharing

[@shaymusmus]

8:25 it's like that scene in ali g where the blind guy is polishing the railings

[@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.

How well Jack wore those heels it’s not his first time 🤣 maybe that’s how he gets on the adult rides at the amusement parks 🤣🤣🤣

[@mikehunt3222]

Or maybe those are part of his costume when he entertains at the adult bars, if you know what I mean. 😂

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.

So that’s where jack has been, trying to get up the workshop wall to put that banner up….must have taken him a week to get up that high ❤

[@g7puw]

i just love the sound of the Foden .could go to sleep to that sound ! saw two of them at Capel one was a crane and the other had a live in wagon on the back

[@simvrod]

I can just imagine the health and safety man drinking a cup of tea and then chocking on seeing somebody foot ware ( very fetching by the way) and convulsing with his dinner stuck in his throat. Happy days, love your vids .😂

[@kerrydagge4397]

Jack, you made my weekend. I work night shift, just came home, sat down to snack and watch you and Joe and the tank and I am nearly falling over laughing. Absolutely love Jack so much. Not his first time in heels but he is on the Prom's.

[@kenanderson3859]

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

[@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.

[@andofthedrew5171]

Jacks a natural in high heels so we all know he does on a weekend 😂🤣 hey Jackie girl

[@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 😛

I know he's never been in the military, but in those heels, he looks like he was born to be a bootie!

[@shed66215]

@@DraftySatyr Part of the military life is being able to laugh at yourself as much as others in uniform. They still perform skits and shows at Christmas dressed in drag - though I think the pc brigade has had an impact, remember going to one way back in 1983 as a young teenager and being told to 'forget' some of the language I heard 😂

Excellent as always 😊.

[@hotpot1959]

Those wonderful new work shoes look older than the tank. I remember those back in the day.

[@stevemorris3710]

It's almost like a recovery tank should have a reel of 'Hawser' inside, perhaps with a little engine so you can decide how much ';hawser' protrudes. I imagine adjusting that could be hazardous and result in some wincing. The commander could shout "WINCING" when he wanted to driver to reduce the amount protruding.

[@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

[@oldgrubber]

Spraying diesel on the tracks as you pull it acts as a penetrant. Just use a garden spray bottle. It can't hurt and may help.

[@markbowes3252]

The crossed cables means that when the recovery steers in a direction, the cable pulls in the opposite direction (watch the video). Suggest if it is in crossed it would be better for straight towing....what would I know! just watched your video

[@atkm11]

Love the ARV nearly as good as the Foden, engine sounds mint without silencers!

[@teamidris]

To say something sensible for a change, I wonder if it would pull better off the eyes under the rear blade. They look higher and would give the ARV more traction and slightly lift the tank being pulled.
