T-34 off to its new house….

[@Sub_Zero_47]

Can't wait for the next t34 repair videos, love the in depth video style

[@MrHewes]

Thank you, il try and do work on the T-34 at the weekend in my free time

[@Brigadier9]

Love the aerosol can stuffed down the side of the T-34's engine. Also that Centurion engine bay is mint.

Cheeky can of Glowplugs

[@darrenquarterman2611]

Could have let some air out the tyres if the tank didn’t fit out 😂

[@MrHewes]

I was thinking the same!

[@samrodian919]

Ha ha ha! screwing the valve out would be a bit of a nightmare lol😊

[@shamelessgames9158]

The T 34- 85 is Very cool !

[@UhtredRagnarsson1949]

The work done at this yard is absolutely riveting.

Thank you

[@adrianhoneybill8591]

Robbie. Thank you for your great video of our village. The Braunston Canal Society (you came past us working when you came out of Braunston Tunnel) help to keep the GU and Oxford canals in good order for all. Enjoyed your drone shots. Looking forward to playing the CD. More please!!

[@enfield5847]

Dont know if it would be a hastle, but more of the interior videos would be awesome, i loved seeing the guts of the cheftain you showed, and would locve to see more of all of them

Will do!

I love when they are moving the tank and how the dog is walking around and looking around as if he was a banksman 😆👌🏼

[@patchmack4469]

great vid - nice to see stuff getting shunted around, i love it when things don't quite work out, there's always a way to make things move, i'm always having to shift stuff, and generally on my own, people are always amused at how i've done it, from shifting huge pallet shelving units from one side of the workshop to the other, chucking ejection seats in and out of aircraft, i find that gravity thing very useful, providing fingers are out the way, i know that feeling Jack so i feel your pain - nice to see the workshop spaces improving too, you'll soon be working off benches clean enough to eat off, nice polished concrete floors just like my place haha

[@MrHewes]

Cheers bud! I sure hope the benches will be that clean! I live a life of things not going to plan but then again don’t we all!?

[@patchmack4469]

@@MrHewes that's what makes this business so much more fun, anything that don't work, use a bigger hammer and swear at it PS Jack does a cracking job on the paint work round the engine bays, when things look squeaky clean they work better, and even when they don't work, they still look impressive - any use for a Challenger One engine and gearbox (yet)? need to find your email

Thank you! I would like like a challenger one engine for sure! My email is [e-mail]

We was there last year and had a fantastic time! We plan to go this year and take more Kit along with us!

[@wideyxyz2271]

All good fun. I remember years ago someone had a pink Abbott they used to drive around in? Cant remember who it was though.

Looks like the T34 doesn´t need anyhing else!!! What a design!!! Just real men can be inside a tank!!!

Ever thought of getting a Mk III AEC 6x6 recovery vehicle? It was the predecessor to the Foden. Would be nice to compare the 2.

[@doOf3r]

Thankfully it was only light damage.

I see what you did there 🤣

It will be nice to see the t34 running

[@samrodian919]

I am sooo impressed with what those Foden recovery vehicles can do! An awesome piece of Brit Army kit! What are the Army using now for recovering Challenger2? And is it any better than the Fodens?

[@MrHewes]

They now use MAN-SVR but sadly Overcomplicated safety features let them down over the classic Fodens!

[@privateaccount1091]

the T34/85 you have is a Polish T34/85M2 similar to the Soviet 1969 model, adding outside storage, deep paddling kit and snorkel

[@ajgorniakk]

Yep, it's Polish. Very early production model - turret serial number '6'.

[@jefforymitchell5697]

Polish writing all over the inside of it in the other videos.

[@jefforymitchell5697]

Do you know if these were designed and built in Poland or were they made elsewhere and transported?

[@ajgorniakk]

@@jefforymitchell5697 Poland bought licence for T-34-85 from Soviet Union and produced these tanks in ZM Łabędy from 1952 to 1956. About 1350 pieces were built. The "M2" modernisation was also made only in Polish city of Siemianowice Śląskie but both on Soviet and Polish made vehicles. The T-34-85M2 was able to deep wading (you can see the snorkel on the left side of the hull, it was mounted in place of the loaders periscope) crew was reduced to 4 people - the hull machinegun was operated by the driver. It has also an enigne heater.

[@srodigital]

Two things, the comment about the Foden actually being driven and not just left in gear pulling the tank on its own...funny. it doesn't matter how many times you show the Foden, it's adds a significant presence to proceedings, it's an impressive truck. The fact that many a time the vehicle is used just on tick over revs and it still pulls a significant weight behind it. Such a shame KZbin thinks presenting the channels back catalogue of videos out of chronological sequence is a good thing.

[@Landie_Man]

Beautiful video! You could have also left the crane at normal speed, don't get bored! Compliments!!

[@patrickriley3630]

Love the videos did you try crisscrossing 2 chains to pull the T34 it might help Thanks again

[@oldmanwith]

If you were to practice more with any spare floodlights you have laying about could you not just jam a track on one side to make the tank turn easier to that side when you’re towing? #helpfulhints

[@brianholding4357]

Why do the wheels keep jumping on that Foden? Torque lockup or something? I imagine to someone in the know it's nothing to worry about but to me it looks alarming.

Probably a stupid question but as the only wat to turn the T34 was to lift the front ... could you have kept it raised and moved it around or is the crane not ma enough to take the side load as you turned ??
