We finally get round to fixing the engine for Diane Abbot (SPG) Thanks to Midland military vehicles for the extra help. Follow me on Instagram for Daily Updates MrHewess
Good effort with the heat exchanger. Although I wouldn't hold your breath.. I always thought they were the Achilles heel of the K60.. I've even seen them come out of their wooden crates "brand spankers" , fitted to the pack, run the pack up outside the hull and immediately rupture.. Seems that even in storage they seemed to build up condensation and rot from the inside out.. Always a nightmare because they tend to start mixing all the fluids when they blow internally.. Enjoy watching your channel, brings back memories. Thanks
Just started watching, yep a newbie!! 23 years in a tank regiment, mostly chieftain, then challenger 1, you guys are doing exactly what i would have done if i could when i finnished!! Brilliant fun, well done !! Dont think you need it but i do have some chieftain info !! very impressed with Cent engine work!!
after military service retrained as a mechanic and worked in Bovington overhauling heavy armour, my claim to fame is I rebuilt the Tiger. You guys have so much fun, as we did in our early years but you get the job done! enjoyed the FIP work on T34, learned lots! thank you .
My Dad and then my elder brother were both in the REME and as a young lad I lived at various army bases (Larkhill springs to mind) and I climbed over virtually every tracked vehicle I could. I know it’s just an engine but they have a specific noise that brings back all sorts of memories.
5am get ready for move out. Gunners had a night’s sleep sort of and REME are roused off the warm engine covers from another all nighter. Gun fire tea and an egg banjo. How we lived in the seventies!
Popping the engine in for a quick test is a good idea and something I have never done. By the time the engine is back in a duetz tractor it’s 90% done :o)
Always interesting vlogs from Joe, it all looks so casual but these lads get the job done and do not watch the clock 'cos they are enjoying themselves. (or so it seems thanks to the editing!!)
🎶🎤Karaoke time… “ I’m so young, And you’re so old, Oh my howitzer, I’ve been told. I don’t care just what they say, Cause my big gun I will stay, You and I will be as free, As two love birds in a tree, Oh, Please, Start for Me, Diana…….” Paul Anka, American Singer, Nineteen Fiftysometime.
I'm told by an old FV433 gunner that their party piece was to have six rounds in the air at the same time! Also, that they practiced direct fire so they could engage vehicles. Can anyone confirm this.
Part of the CES for one of these came with a direct fire sight system, so I would imagine they practiced it but if it got to that it was pretty much your end of days lol
Former is probably MRSI. Different elevations and probably incremental charges to get all the rounds down on the target simultaneously. Major first-impact force multiplier.
@@Brigadier9 Yes, that's what I thought. I know it's possible with SP90 but the range is greater and the flight time to target longer.. Doing it with a 105mm is bloody amazing! Hats off to them. Well trained and drilled gun crew. Just goes to show how good things were during the cold war BAOR days.
Back when these things were being beasted across the Plain, by the RAC, how many hours would these engines/g-boxes do on average, before needing swapped?
Is that a Abbot SPG? The gun is different. It has no muzzle brake. To me it looks like it has got a smoothbore gun that you would see on light tanks and main battle tanks.
I'll see your african kids fixing swimming pools at three in the morning videos and raise you those teams of pakistani dudes with no safety gear and minimal tools in a dusty, backstreet workshop welding together a huge, broken caterpillar crankshaft or somesuch before a complete engine rebuild. Way more absorbing! (Your videos are ace btw)
Would it not have been easier to slightly bend the metal to weld on the pipe 😅 Can I ask what is the colours of paint you use and where can you get the. 😂 just in case I buy a tank. No seriously what are the colours. My garage needs painting. 😊
@@bert26a L60 had a myriad of problems that were mainly due to all the bolted on ancillaries. The engine itself was quite robust and reliable as a generator unit. In a ever increasing weighty tank it was under powered. The K60 suffered less but still had its issues. Again mainly ancillaries like gennies, heat exchangers, starters and fan drives.
The Diane Abbot hate is pretty disgusting. She's the first black woman elected to UK parliament and has been enduring this kind of unwarranted abuse since day one, almost 40 years ago. Do better.
Where exactly Is the hate? The vehicle is called an Abbot, I can name my vehicles whatever I wish. Also the lady your referring to is actually spelt Abbott. Do better.
Don’t see any hate from them and whilst I don’t hate her she is an absolute lunatic irrespective of her skin colour, which should neither be the reason for hate nor the reason not to.
I don't care that she's Black, I care that she's anti-NATO and therefore effectively pro-Putin. Also, why didn't you capitalize Black? It's 2023, DO BETTER.
Dose anyone think Bateman looks like Jesus?
He's the massiah!
If Jesus come from wish!
No beard and not Mediterranean
Only if Jesus was called Lord Passion Fingers.
He looks nothing like the Arsenal number 9.
Big shout out to TED if it wasn't for TED's technical expertise and direction, these boys would be totally lost!
And if Ted was doing due diligence, they'd have rubbish everywhere!
@Gavin correct he even cleans up the garbage/rubbish too. Proper Boss dog...
Couldn’t agree more, Teds the man!!
Drinking beer in Canada and watching some British guys bs around on tanks today was a good day

Another great video of men playing with really, really big toys........and Ted.

IT sounded right !
But star of the show is Ted the patient faithful dog very adept at dodging track vehicles lol
MOAR Doggo!
Came for the Ted Content, stayed for the tanks
Engine pack sounds sweet.
Yeah for a old girl it runs sweet
always a great watch 👍
My dog is named Ted too. Smart dog that you’ve got!
Thanks lads very informative 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍
i find it interesting how Milwaukee changes its decals outside of the us
cracking video and bodgery
Always interesting vlogs from Joe, it all looks so casual but these lads get the job done and do not watch the clock 'cos they are enjoying themselves. (or so it seems thanks to the editing!!)
Yeah we have a good crack
I’m sure that wash down water goes straight into a waste oil interceptor & seperator
Yes actually when I did the drainage for my yard I fitted an interceptor
I thought they distilled it to make cider
Recognise that engine sound
Ah the 4G power pack …… great memories 😮😅
So glad I found this channel, I could watch y'all fixing up tanks for hours!
This is honestly peak CZcams content 🙌
More useful than it’s namesake.
more reliable and more useful😂😂😂
Bleeping good job on that bleeping engine!
12:16 that's some quality Dad's joke there :D
Very entertaining 👍🏼🏴☠️✌🏼
Seems like such an interesting place to be, thanks Guys!!
Diane Abbott because the both look the same from behind 😂😂😮
🎶🎤Karaoke time…
“ I’m so young,
And you’re so old,
Oh my howitzer,
I’ve been told.
I don’t care just what they say,
Cause my big gun I will stay,
You and I will be as free,
As two love birds in a tree,
Oh, Please,
Start for Me,
Diana…….”

being a shop-dog is such hard work lol
FOR A GROUP OF YOUNG MEN DID YOUR SCHOOL REPORTS ALL SAY THE SAME THING AND NOW LOOK AT WHAT YOUS CAN DO OUTSTANDING WORK 😊.

got my track licence on a 432 before moving to challenger 2
7:19 - 7:42 Mechanic life 😂😂😂😂
Diane Abbott because the numbers just don’t add up 😅
And she’s a bit of a tank herself
Nice one! Niff said! 🤣🤣
Did you just JB weld that oil cooler ? thats pretty good stuff I know...but will it last very long ?
Chemical metal
These Vid's are great! Always takin' the piss.
It can't be diane abbot it would have 2 left tracks on it
It can't be diane abbot because ... Jeremy "Trots" Corbyn is not up it!
Well someone had to say it.
😊You guys are the best👍
In honour of Diane Abbott, I have given this video eleven billonty likes.
When was that engine last fired? Great video👍👍
Back when these things were being beasted across the Plain, by the RAC, how many hours would these engines/g-boxes do on average, before needing swapped?
Once did 3 pack lifts in 3 days on the same 432 , all failed heat exchangers
We need Ted and Tanks t shirts. 🤓
Soon!
You need to get a Humber pig - coolest armoured truck in times gone by
Not the ones in NI. Absolute pain to work on.
but excellent fun to drive.
@@billmiddleton2183 I preferred the sarrycan
Is it for sale as im looking for a 433 or a 432. 😊
Somebody buy the dog a new blankie FFS! 🤣🤣🤣
So cool. Guys
lol the P95 mask for painting. just be careful of isocyanate paints boys
Why didn’t you braise the capillaries ? Your apox will only hold for a handful of hours
Is that a Abbot SPG? The gun is different. It has no muzzle brake. To me it looks like it has got a smoothbore gun that you would see on light tanks and main battle tanks.
Now that's a big fucking engine
Do you call it Diane abbot because its tracks are on the wrong way round?
Nah its coz she pulls to the left all the time!
Bateman is a cool dude.
Clever lad

We will get it working no matter how much paint it takes!
she were in the news today she were
I think I missed something somewhere. Why is it called Diane Abbott?
Why fix Dianne Abbot the silly cow should be put down - refering to the true Dianne Abbot pmsl - great video guys as usual.... 🤣😂🤣
SLOOOW down with that zoom.....please
I’m guessing Diane Abbot is the name of this tank ??
Crack on job blokes! Grab a cup o tea before ye hands wear through then
What’s happening with the armoured Land Rover an the T34 mate
Where are you based and do you know/ help the Norfolk Tank Museum
I notice the British are much, much slimmer than their cousins across the pond.
Was that a 2-stroke diesel like in the Chieftain or like Detroit Diesel?
Similar to the L60 in Chieftain
@@davedickinson822 Ahh thank you. Does it have the same or similar problems to the L60?

@@davedickinson822 Sounds like MOD procurement were on a roll when they ordered that kit. Why is it they always seem to cock everything up?
Ted does not approve of all the bickering.
Why use red when kero is cheaper, it's a multi fuel after all 😄
Прохання, не доламайте.
Dude ! Who are you ? how do you get this tanks?
Here's me wondering where the leak is coming from my Corsa.
😎👍
Tube stack leak ……….. close off the tube…………
The Joker maybe...Not Batman no beard see.
Love your work but the random zooming is nauseating
Oh to be the apprentoid, berrated from all sides
