Awesome what a great way to start a Sunday. Lying in bed bacon butties strong sweet tea. And latest epistle from Mr Hewes and the crew. Sod the ice and frost I am stying here
I have no idea how I came to watch your videos. The CZcams algorithm must work well because I'm really enjoying them. (Leaving a comment in the hope of nudging the algorithm a bit more.)
Wow!!!!, just the sound of that engine has bought the memories flooding back from my time with BAOR in Germany in the 1980’s. Great job there Joe & crew.
Only discovered this channel by accident over Xmas and now im hooked on this stuff. Going into the garage this afternoon to show my stroppy lawnmower engine who is boss...😉
Having that crane has to be refreshing that you can work at a height where you haven't got to be bent in half to work on an engine. (Other than Jack) Not many work benches have wheels and a windscreen. Runs clean and sounds sweet
Wow. You guys are true 'doers'. If all the 'clip board, pen and form fillers' in government, local government, the NHS and industry put down their clip boards and each displayed 1/4 of your ability thecountry would be GREAT again.
The 432 exhaust was just the right size for heating our cans of food in. We would drop in five cans then 20 minutes later rev the engine out to retrieve them 😊 good times.
This situation is very interesting.........normally, the only engine that has a bad habit of "running away" after sitting a long time is the mechanical rack, Detroit Diesel 2 stroke engines. But here we can clearly see, an ordinary CAV inline fuel pump having an issue with wanting to run "full tilt" when started. Shes a crackin nice sounding menace when it fired up! See.......Mr Hewes really is "the tank whisperer".
Congratulations! 13 years, wow. Loved the way you fixed the starter and enjoyed your description of how a runaway can happen. I've experienced a runaway at least once on the M60. We had a fuel cutoff in the drivers station, so one just keeps their wits about them and pull that lever. And then you get to pull the pack. Our mechanics trained us to do all the disconnection/reconnection and then they supplied the crane. Then it was off to the civilian contractors to fix so I didn't get to see the inner workings very much. Do FV432's have fuel cutoffs?
I think the little yellow crane just earned its spot in the yard. And also that is one fine engine - no runaway, not much smoke, great sound when revving, responsive and does not vibrate the crap out of everything at idle! I own a Landy with an Isuzu 4BD1 in it - couldn't kill it with an axe, but its principal job is, as some wag once said, _to shake everything else to pieces!_
I didn't recognise the sound until you rev'ed it hard. The first time I heard that sound was when I was 9 years old in 1978 in a brand new 432 at Dempsey Barracks 39 Regiment in Sennelarger Germany where my Dad was a Gun commander on M109 132 Battery (Bengal Rocket Troop) and sometimes took me to work with his, when he could get away with it, they also had a Battery of M107. Great memories
back around 1996 my partner had a work visit to an Australian Army base, she was offered a ride in a Leopard tank, before setting off around the test track they warned her that she might not be used to the rolling of the tank. while going over he rough parts of the track she was laughing her head off, they of course asked what was funny, she told them her beloved 1961 Wolseley 6/99 rolled about a damn sight more on the public roads than their tank did on the test track.
Have to agree on your take on the starter. The amount of people who will discard perfectly serviceable items such as starte motors without even pulling them apart to clean brushes and free off a stuck bendix is unreal. Engine purrs just lovely. Look forward to seeing it re installed. Great content
Cool video as always , it's amazing how these engines start up after so long with very few issues . I wonder if modern computerised cars would do the same ?
if the ECU were knackered by water damage etc then no. Since these are mechanical fuel systems they can stand the abuse. If a EFI engine has been left in good condition though. There would be nill difference.
Looser tolerances and some extra fuel use make these go forever with severe abuse even. Nowadays modern cars are far more fuel economic......and writeoff after 10 years. But glad we saved the weather.
That's how I like to fix old vehicles, remove, clean, oil/grease, replace. More time involved than just changing out a part, but I think better results.
I've messed with a few engines over the my life, but how did you manage to fix that so fast! Unmentioned skills and experience I suspect. Great vid. Well done.
Thank You so much guys. You see your videos show us the audience, everything (within reason ) that your doing and why it's like being your apprentice. I like it.
Hi chaps , that motor sound great 👍 , Army maintenance is the reason the engine started and runs after 13 years 😊 regards Frank ps love the vids keep em coming.
Brilliant result, the phoenix’s heart beats once more. You are truly a 21st century resurrection man, well done. Thank you, onward to the next phase. Cheers lads.
Again you’ve got to be chuffed getting it running, couldn’t see anything leaking from the camera view, as you have said before time and patience with a bit of knowledge cures everything, top job Mr Hewes
Served my time in the 70's as a fuel injection engineer. That's a CAV NN type pump with the very expensive hydraulic governor option (rarely seen on civilian engines due the the cost, a regular mechanical governor was the norm). As the hydraulic pressure falls away, the rack just drops back. Perfectly normal operation :-) Glad you got it running.
Don’t forget “The little yellow crane that could”.It’s perfect for the job of running engines on and the removal and installation of the engines.Great content like always,keep up the good work Ted😂,and the boys as well lol.👍
Another great start I used to do this with old car and bike engines on the floor of my dads garage It amazed people to see a running engine sitting on a concrete floor with no car about But you guys are on another level Keep up the great work , I knew a ex tank mechanic that would have loved to spend a day with you guys But sadly not with us now But I still remember him telling me all the tricks and bush fixes he had used to get things going
I really enjoyed this and the last video, very interesting and instructional. The other vidoes are fun with all the chaos and mullarkey but this one was reakky good. Thanks
It's just so amazing to watch you guys tinkering with a little WD and hearing that engine come back to life. It sounded so good. Can't wait for the next video to see it cleaned up and reinstalled.
Awesome what a great way to start a Sunday. Lying in bed bacon butties strong sweet tea. And latest epistle from Mr Hewes and the crew. Sod the ice and frost I am stying here
Sounds like an epic sunday, Enjoy 👍🏻😊
Comment of the year imho 👍
Exceptional work as always Mr hewes, not many people can excite a starter motor 😅👌
I have no idea how I came to watch your videos. The CZcams algorithm must work well because I'm really enjoying them.
(Leaving a comment in the hope of nudging the algorithm a bit more.)
You are living your best life 💯🔥😃💪👌😀
Wow!!!!, just the sound of that engine has bought the memories flooding back from my time with BAOR in Germany in the 1980’s. Great job there Joe & crew.
30 odd years without running you guys are absolute legends
I can’t believe he isn’t Indian being able to do what he dose
Everything aside, that little yellow crane is quite handy! 🛠️
I know, right? Dead useful.
I’m amazed how quiet that engine is without an exhaust system, she sounds really sweet.
Well done lads, a good start to a Sunday.
Sounds very much like a 2 stroke Detroit Diesel. Amazing that they got it started with little effort after all those years.
Only discovered this channel by accident over Xmas and now im hooked on this stuff. Going into the garage this afternoon to show my stroppy lawnmower engine who is boss...😉

And the crane is still for sale on the shop website!.. looking very useful so there might be a re-think there....
Joe uploading a video early on a sunday makes me think he is out rescuing another classic piece of automotive history ,
Impressive demonstration of years of hard won knowledge and without supervision by Ted. Great video as ever, keep them coming!
Ted went past in the background earlier, I knew that was going to fix it.
They'll be stumped when Ted retires...
ted was pulling their strings out of sight
@@babaganoush6106 his dexterity and subtlety never ceases to amaze ;)
Wow. You guys are true 'doers'. If all the 'clip board, pen and form fillers' in government, local government, the NHS and industry put down their clip boards and each displayed 1/4 of your ability thecountry would be GREAT again.
Impressive as always Mr H!
Just goes to show how deceiving looks can be. I really love your vids, keep it up
Grungy and rough-looking, but it's a diesel, and a Rolls, at that. Fantastically durable.
He might be young but that doesn't mean he's inexperienced
After 13 years and it's alive this is when the uk made great engines a great video and a pleasure to watch untill next time
UK made engines?? They made lots of excuses for engines and then a whole pile of ashmatic zeems.
Quality and i love the attitude have a go and make it work
Fantastic way to start the day... Watching someone else succeed so I don't have to.!! 😉 😉
The 432 exhaust was just the right size for heating our cans of food in.

K60 music on a Sunday, who could ask for more , nice one joe 👍😉
After starting at Royce’s in the 70’s I was eventually taken to the Dark Side of MTU’s in Canada on equipment here.
Ted....you are a genius.....!
You are a mechanical genius Joe! Another near death recovery!!!!
Awsome job. Getting this old girl started.
The little crane works great as a workbench. Glad I found your channel.

Brilliant. There is nothing better than an engine starting after some well informed spannering. Great result Joe. Well done mate.
Amazing how the engine has no movement under acceleration.👍👏
Gearbox not connected 🤣😂.
Very nicely balanced indeed. A good engine.
Is it geared so the cranks turn in opposite directions?
back around 1996 my partner had a work visit to an Australian Army base, she was offered a ride in a Leopard tank, before setting off around the test track they warned her that she might not be used to the rolling of the tank.
while going over he rough parts of the track she was laughing her head off, they of course asked what was funny, she told them her beloved 1961 Wolseley 6/99 rolled about a damn sight more on the public roads than their tank did on the test track.
@@johnnunn8688 Cranks turn the same direction but phased 180 deg... amazing engine...
That little yellow crane/mobile workbench has become a right asset! Should mount a vice to it.
That was Proper Enjoyable...🪝🔧⚙🪛
the knowledge that you have on these machines is mental Joe, and the rest of the guys and girls
Have to agree on your take on the starter. The amount of people who will discard perfectly serviceable items such as starte motors without even pulling them apart to clean brushes and free off a stuck bendix is unreal. Engine purrs just lovely. Look forward to seeing it re installed. Great content
Amazes me every time how you and the lads manage to get these engines going again with, as you say, just some WD-40 and time. Excellent 👌
Brings back many memories hearing that purring
Cool video as always , it's amazing how these engines start up after so long with very few issues . I wonder if modern computerised cars would do the same ?
Not a chance in hell
In Britain, hell no. Either mice or corrosion would get to the wires/ECU and wreck it. The engine would probably be fine, though.
if the ECU were knackered by water damage etc then no. Since these are mechanical fuel systems they can stand the abuse. If a EFI engine has been left in good condition though. There would be nill difference.
Looser tolerances and some extra fuel use make these go forever with severe abuse even. Nowadays modern cars are far more fuel economic......and writeoff after 10 years. But glad we saved the weather.
i mean those engines were made to withstand everything and still run. todays car are not made with that goal in mind
Great video!!....It's all down to subject knowledge....and the passed down tightness of being a farmers son!!😉😆
And that ladies and gentlemen, is what a win looks like.
Nice hearing Her sing again an the Pump lifters in time like a bunch of Chorus girls..Nice one..
Love the sound..bring back memories of me learning on these machines back in the day with the 3RRF Germany and doing my YTS with their REME section..
Well that a great start to 2024 the way that engine started
tidy work
cheers
Jim
She’s a beauty and runs as good as a sewing machine.Another job well done!!👍🏻👍🏻
You are a smart man, love your videos. Thanks
You’re a genius !! 🎉
Great video, love watching you, your knowledge is amazing
Your a man after my own heart just make it work. 🤘.
What a great sounding engine
The sound when running ❤❤❤
That's how I like to fix old vehicles, remove, clean, oil/grease, replace. More time involved than just changing out a part, but I think better results.
Congratulations guys! And a happy New Year of course!
It makes getting out of bed worthwhile when the first thing you do works. Job done, what's next on the list? 🤔😃💪
I had to laugh at the dog 'running away' around 09:02... :)
And it sounds marvellous!!
Thank you, and absol brilliant! What a treat for a frosty Sunday morning :)
Nice sounds as like its happy to run again
Brilliant, love these big engines being brought back to life. To my untrained ear that sounded awesome. Thanks. Andy UK
With a little elbow grease & half a can of WD40,...she's running like a charm.
Well done lads. 👍
Cheers from Australia
Awesome just awesome thanks happy days 😀😀😀
I tell you what. I'm very impressed 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Hahaha, I loved the "am I f^*%*#n good, or what" gesture at 11.12 minutes
I've messed with a few engines over the my life, but how did you manage to fix that so fast! Unmentioned skills and experience I suspect. Great vid. Well done.
From the US, I never knew anything about a RR K60.
The second it fired up, there was no question.
2 stroke opposed piston.
Beauty!
Im amazed, honestly how well these engines sound, 😂. Potential buyers can hear a healthy, serviced engine.
A nice way to start my birthday.
Good work chaps
Thank You so much guys. You see your videos show us the audience, everything (within reason ) that your doing and why it's like being your apprentice. I like it.
Engine sounds great ball of fire and a trail of smoke keep them videos coming
Another Sunday treat. Cheers
Not beaten again, well done lads. One of the shortest 'will it start'?' videos from you perhaps. Excellent job, thanks for sharing.
Roys-roys, truly one of the motors ever.
Hi chaps , that motor sound great 👍 , Army maintenance is the reason the engine started and runs after 13 years 😊 regards Frank ps love the vids keep em coming.
And another reason it started…..built by Rolls Royce…nuff said😊
Brilliant result, the phoenix’s heart beats once more. You are truly a 21st century resurrection man, well done. Thank you, onward to the next phase. Cheers lads.
Again you’ve got to be chuffed getting it running, couldn’t see anything leaking from the camera view, as you have said before time and patience with a bit of knowledge cures everything, top job Mr Hewes
Brilliant learning all the time , experience is golden , well done most people wouldn't have a clue lol 😮
Ahhhh ...... the sound of that engine it's music to my ears , thank you !!! 👍👍👍 Hard work it's always rewarded .
Great result .... free fix 2024 couldn't start of any better
Served my time in the 70's as a fuel injection engineer. That's a CAV NN type pump with the very expensive hydraulic governor option (rarely seen on civilian engines due the the cost, a regular mechanical governor was the norm). As the hydraulic pressure falls away, the rack just drops back. Perfectly normal operation :-) Glad you got it running.
It’s needed to work the kick down piston on the Allison gearbox
Clarkson’s back at it👌🏻👍🏻
Good Show old bean! Great Knowledge! Hard work looks easy with your demonstrations!
Excellent what a star 👌
Don’t forget “The little yellow crane that could”.It’s perfect for the job of running engines on and the removal and installation of the engines.Great content like always,keep up the good work Ted😂,and the boys as well lol.👍
Another great start
I used to do this with old car and bike engines on the floor of my dads garage
It amazed people to see a running engine sitting on a concrete floor with no car about
But you guys are on another level
Keep up the great work ,
I knew a ex tank mechanic that would have loved to spend a day with you guys
But sadly not with us now
But I still remember him telling me all the tricks and bush fixes he had used to get things going
I really enjoyed this and the last video, very interesting and instructional. The other vidoes are fun with all the chaos and mullarkey but this one was reakky good. Thanks
Thank you very much for the video.👍🤗👍🇸🇯
Excellent! Good to see field engineering. Super start to 2024!
Top Man, well done
It's just so amazing to watch you guys tinkering with a little WD and hearing that engine come back to life. It sounded so good. Can't wait for the next video to see it cleaned up and reinstalled.
Well done gentlemen
It sounds as sweet as as a Nut once it got running for a bit and as you say No expense. Great job as usual.
We all knew you would get it running as that is what you are known for ie getting the old girls working again 👌👍
Its just too easy now. Too easy. Mind you I'm still sitting on the edge of my seat, every episode. Godlike thats all I can say.
YEEHAAA! Good work gents!😊
Well done boys that's a runner,sounds sweet
Love the sound of these engines. When you think of a tank...this is what I hear in my head. Thanks again and I look forward to the next video.
That was thoroughly enjoyable.
Great stuff, well done.
Brilliant to see.
Awesome work, engine sounds so sweet!
Well done there.sounds sweet 👍👍👍
Never ever will a ev motor create so much joy.. passion and downright never say die of diesel / petrol motors...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 well done again lads
Yeah an electric tank,,,, that would go really well,, for amybe 5 minutes
