  • In this episode we fit the gearbox back into the Berlin, brigade MK10 Chieftain Tank
    I also fix the oil and water leak on the Abbot engine pack.

    The tool for securing the plate on was called a 'tool combination ' or 'combi tool' It fitted all the filler plugs and drain plugs. It could also be used to open hatches from the outside. We also used it as a weight for throwing d10 up into trees so that we could hoist cam nets up.

    got to love Hot Panty Jack - he fits those shorrrrrts oh so well, and over trousers, i'm impressed, and his voice never went up while climbing the steps - next week is high heels week
    and we can't see what Joe is wearing behind the camera - a tank top - the glasses is a nice touch, such a bright lad
    after being advised to use the words reinsert, removed glasses and resorted to 'sliding it in'
    is the lever for 1st, 2nd and 'run away' gear
    Jacks pretty nifty with the old ratchet, but why hasn't he, i mean why hasn't Joe got him a cordless ratchet, use a 3/8s with 1/4 converter, it saves him putting the tool on and walking round in circles
    loving the banter as ever, always a joy to watch
