Steve has been one of the best additions to the museum in the two or more years I have been watching this channel. I do love watching the craftsmanship of Beau, Darryl and Jesse but watching the regular "What TF were the life choices that lead me here" moments Steve brings to the channel are just priceless... 😂👏

Hello, the fact that the petrol filters look like this was normal for the Russians because they used very bad petrol. Around 1980 I bought a barrel of gasoline from a Russian officer in the GDR, that was a big mistake. A good third of the 200 liters was water and there was tons of rust in it. I had to filter every liter separately and in the end I gave up and burned the rest. Greetings from Berlin

Yay it's Kurt and Steve from Ausarmour. Steve is so good at describing the awesomeness that is working on old armoured vehicles. His sarcasm is so dry it makes the sahara look like a tropical rainforest. Keep up the great work guys.

I love Steve's sense of sarcasm and humor in his repair videos. Very informative about the mechanical work, but hysterical to listen to. You'd best keep him on.

Kurt, there's no need to apologize for missing a week. Take care of you first, we can wait. Hope you're back to 100% quickly! Steve, fantastic work on that beast! It's great to see it running, probably better than ever. Thank you for your hard work!!

@marcbrasse747 5 ай бұрын

Ever since I saw Thunderbirds as a boy in the 60ties I’ve actually always been more impressed by tracked utility vehicles then by tanks so this is right up my alley. The only complaint I’ve always had about this one is the oldfashioned hood. A cabin on top of the engine would also increase the size of the loading bay. But I am sure those Ruski’s knew what they where doing. If I remember correctly this thing was even used in Antarctica! 😁

That looked like a lot of very hard work to get the beast into an reliable operable condition. Steve is like a dog with a bone , he won't let go. I do respect his knowledge, his persistence and his obvious skill. I'm also envious of him getting to drive that huge monster.

As someone who has never operated a tank or tracked vehicle I found this part of the video very rewarding. Thank you and please keep including how to drive and operate the vehicles when possible. Great stuff 👏👏

It's both amazing and incredible that not only is Steve is so determined, but he knows what to do, as does member on the Team. I guess you wouldn't attempt this if you didn't think you could win the repair challenge, especially with everyone being able to enjoy watching the video as well, and see the finished product up and running. Quite the mighty little fuel pump at 140L/hr. Great to see and hear the tractor start up and run. Steve's smiles and a-0kay hand signals, tell it all. I like his green Aus Armour T-shirt. Interesting to learn how to tell a slack track, the dangers of, and how to correct it, and even getting to see the track tensioner diagram online. Thanks, Beau, for making the tensioner tool! I was both surprised and impressed to see the crosshatch detail on the track fender. Didn't know that the Russian vehicle factory back then added such detail. Quite the complicated steering mechanism, but again, Steve figured it all out, for a super test run. Well done, Steve! (Another) great video. Thanks Kurt! From way up here in Canada.

Great work. Especially loved the inside view of the drive test. While it is awesome to see from the outside how the tank moves, it is also equally interesting to see how the driver makes the tank move. That is what I look forward to. Thank you for showing the view of the driver while actually operating the tank/truck.
