Best way to ever spend $6.9M. I bought a freaking tank on marketplace but had no idea it was in the UK so we flew there to drive it before it comes to the US. I've wanted this since I was 3.
This guy is a true legend. Imagine staying so layed back about whilst Cody comes to your house runs your trees over makes days of work for you gets the chieftain track ripped off drives over an old German war relic. What a legend the fact that this is even possible is amazing.
That was not german war relic, but actually GAZ-69 - a soviet army 4x4 truck, just like Jeep in US army. It's rather common vehicle and doesn't worth much.
CZcams has hidden your channel from me for years. I discovered it because lately I've been opening the site in incognito mode to see different things to the crap it recommends. What a gem of a channel and Cody seems like a genuine guy. The bit near the end talking about coming from essentially nothing was a quick recap for me. I also hate clickbait wit a fiery passion so it's nice to see someone with video titles that are accurate even if I see them and think, "no way" like throwing school buses.
@@LazyPinkHoodieKid the chieftain with the Leyland l60 multifuel engine had a breakdown rate of 90% but that was just the fact leyland couldn't make a quality product, the tank its self otherwise was one of if not the best tank at the time
If anyone wants to know, this is a cheiftan mk.10 the difference from the earlier models is the 2 bulks on the turret which is added armor and the tank also has a slightly more powerful engine, still slow compared to other main battle tanks from that era
@@SledgeHammerMindOpeneryou can recognise older tanks by how they look. Most were a bit round, often very noisy engines, and new tanks generally are very angular, sharp edges everywhere (especially front), and somewhat cleaner designs. Probably best to know how Challenger, Abrams, Leopard, Leclerc and T-90 (/80/72) look like if you want to be able to recognise basically like 80% of tanks you're gonna see anywhere in the world. Polish now are buying K2 tanks from Korea, they basically look like Leopards 2A4 (although they are a separate constitution). There is also some Italian stuff and Chinese and Japanese stuff but those are not seen outside of their countries tbh.
The minutes of dialogue and “shop talk” was refreshing and a different side to your videos, literally could not stop watching this shop talk between y’all. Awesome job! And nice tank!
I could listen to that shit all day reminds me of when me and my friends get together to work on projects sadly we've all gotten pretty busy so it hasn't happened in a while good memories though

So many stories from time served on Chieftains. That howling engine at night, in a pitch dark wood as it's getting closer to your hide, we used to chase the poor bloody infantry with them, but then during live firing ex they would shoot our optics out! We would also tell some new infantry lads that the OTT (onboard Tank Telephone) could be used to call home, the commander would act as the telephone operator and keep em their for ages! Last one, we had one of the loader/operators (loading rounds into the breach/radio op) who's leg slipped off the guard rail as the turret was being powered round, it broke his leg into 16 fracture points and the only way to get it out was to slowly hand traverse the turret back to get him out of the turret!

The best thing I like most about Cody, is he’s true to himself. It’s hard to find genuine CZcamsrs nowadays. Congrats on the tank Cody, the chieftain is a badass tank.
Smoothbore is very common nowadays because of the heavy usage of fin stabilized munitions. I believe britain kept rifled barrels for so long because they used solid shot rounds alot longer. most explosive and kinetic rounds used in the modern day are stabilized by fins on the back of the round
No we kept rifled barrels for so long because of how good that particular gun is and it's more accurate than the smoothbore. We ultimately decided to change to a smoothbore purely for cost reasons with how many MBT's now use smoothbore barrels ammunition for smoothbore barrels is a lot cheaper to buy, and saves a bit of maintenance costs of the rifled barrel. The only ammunition we use on the rifled is a HESH round and an APFSDS round AKA Fin round.
@alexwood724 if it's more accurate than the smoothbore, would it not then make sense for the British army not to switch? You already don't have very many tanks so the cost can be justified, as well, I'm not entirely sure the claim that it's more accurate than the smoothbore is true, if you can show me then great I'd love to learn. Also me mentioning Britain's usage of solid shot was more so to explain in a way that using rifled barrels for longer could be seen as a holdover from that decision, even though Britain adopted fin stabilized rounds quite a while ago.
i mean a hilux can last longer with cody then a tank, i mean even doh a tank runs over a tree i dont see a hilux do that, you know what he needs a LIFT kit for the tank lol
British. Chieftain. tanks were powered by. engines. provided by British. leyland and with anything British Leyland does its unreliable as fuck so makes sense
Can we take a minute to appreciate how fast he set the camera down to give his fan some attention?! “Are you whistlindiesel?” Right away set the camera down and said yea whats up!! Full attention went to his fan. Gotta love it.. Humble as can be!
It has always bothered me seeing these i bought a tank videos and it was an APC or a handmade bullshit vehicle. You actually got a tank, props homie. FpsRussia had it right back in the day considering he did this 12 years ago but hey. It would be interesting to see where his channel would have gone if he didn't get raided by the ATF
I wish they would bring him back, I miss our Professional Russian. What we need now is a Professional Terrorist, like some Gomer doing the FPS stuff but yelling ALLAH!!! Lol
Hire that Brit tank mechanic, and bring him back to Tennessee. Dude seems like he'd fit right in. He'd be like the crazy smart tech guy on the team in a bank heist movie.
Well, cabovers are an endangered species of truck in the US. There are no new cabover model there in more or less 20 years, the last new cabover model being the Freightliner Argosy.
I love how that young bloke strikes me as thre exact guy who would have been driving and maintaining the tanks during the wars back in the day, its like he was born in the wrong generation, so cool
I used to drive Mk.11's like that one for a living. They were still being used as front-line gun tanks until 1992 (some units retained a few until much later too) and in that version you have exactly the same gun, gun control kit and Thermal Observation and Gunnery Sights (TOGS was not IR, it was MUCH better) as the newer Challenger 1 MBT, (the seller was in error though, Chally 2 does not share the same gun and it has completely more modern fire control kit) with a half awake crew a Mk.11 Chieftain could still spoil anything on the battlefields morning and the L11A5 120mm rifled gun is still the record holder for the longest direct Tank v Tank kill in combat. A few words of advice lads, regular halt parades (check your track tension and adjust manually) always rev the engine down after use for cool off, don't just kill switch it immediately off, the Leyland L60 in the back is her Achilles heel sadly so treat it gently where you can, it's basically a badly made copy of the WWII German Jumo 207 aero diesel engine. Oh the most important thing, NEVER run the L60 past 2500 RPM, as you can get an engine runaway, where basically it will rev itself to destruction (even if you kill the power, it will keep going) and you don't want to be near the wagon if the lump goes Super Nova in the back. We were instructed in the event of a runaway, aim the wagon up a hill and let the crew bail out., because when the engine goes boom you don't want to be in the vicinity - TRUST ME! Oh and ask any Chieftain crew what the scariest job was, they should answer replacing the suspension spring pack - changing those is the best laxative known to man, done wrong the nested springs will go off like an artillery round and fly down range with bits of whoever was stood in front of them attached!
@@Theo_Jakobsen thanks my first proper job out of school in the late 1980's was to join the army at 17 years of age and drive these bad boys.

Check out Andrew Camarata…. Dude can make a 2 hour video about clearing a road and it’s just sick. He bought a mountain too. And built a castle. Not the same type of shit as Whistlin Diesel but dude can film some shit.
As a former Tank mechanic who has recovered many tanks, I couldn't help but smile when I saw the scene get darker as you were repairing the track 🤣 Shits not easy.
I am just potentially asking a stupid question but having worked on excavator tracks and stuff is preparing or changing a tank truck similar to working on the undercarriage of a let's say caterpillar 350 excavator?
@@codyr504 Nothing like it. You need to break the track (disconnecting one side from the other). You also need special tools to reconnected the 2 ends and as well as a bunch of other shit to get it back on the sprocket or whatever part it came off of. Typically takes about an hour depending on your situation and what the terrain is like.
Always several hilarious lines in these videos but my favorite in this one was, “I don’t want to be here any longer than I have to because you can’t own more than 75 thousand guns” This guy is a superstar. Never apologize for your success dude, no one can possibly understand the stress that comes with making such epic content, consistently.
I watched some of Whistlin Diesel's vids but this is just next level like dude doesnt give a fuck I love it. He's literally every teenage boy with millions of dollars just living out his dream awesome to watch
What up Diesel, just started tuning into your stuff, very entertaining, about two videos in, I think it was the firetruck, I was like, "he don't give an f@$& does he?" Then I saw the Ferrari and I knew it, then I saw how much work you gave these guys and thought about how much your crew must do at home and i was a bit disturbed! I'm sure you're paying them handsomely for their efforts. Keep up the good stuff eh! 👍
Loved the ending of the video with y’all just having a great convo about things that y’all like. It’s cool to see genuine people having good conversations with each other. Most celebrities don’t do things like this so thank you.
Hey just a recommendation Try strapping a Gatlin gun to this tank if you can get clearance because a Gatlin gin is like and hand cranked turret on wooden wheels but there are 6 little rifle barrels in a circle
Seeing him get stuck and then how long it took to get unstuck and repaired really shows the kind of hell tank crews would go through to keep up such a colossal war machine… can’t wait to see how it holds up to the man who can break anything
I've changed pads and tracks on Bradley Fighting Vehicles and I can tell you in ideal conditions that shit is rough. I can't imagine doing in the woods lol. Fuck that.

@@gorbdonfreeming What was the old saw about the Chieftain? "A battle winning weapon...as long as it breaks down in the right location". Good luck keeping that beast running, if anyone can do it, I reckon you can.

I’m starting to lose the things I love and paid for with my own hard earned money and life just feels like it’s crumbling in front of me. I’m just happy to see you bought a tank. This seriously made me so happy to watch. Always know how to put a smile on people’s faces, no matter how hard life gets. Love your videos man.
sounds, looks, and drives better than any hypercar out there. ever seen a hypercar with smoke launchers, rotating seats, Periscopes for a windshield, and powered by a 1000hp turbocharged engine?
35:42 The Primary reason is because Brits are Really proud of their High Explosive Squash Head Rounds (HESH) Which required a Circle spin, which could only be provide by a rifled barrel. But now Russian tanks use Reactive Armour which makes Hesh effectively useless. So, they are joining the rest with Smoothbore guns to pursue Armour Piercing rounds which are more effectively stabilized through fins on the armor instead of Rifling.
Hey, I know one country in Europe where you can test drive your tank and make a ton of cool videos, bonus points for returning washing machines to their owners.
I learned something from every video i have watched, i have become a pilot, a firefighter, and now a tank operator. Except i really want a tank. I think if i title enough videos whistlindiesel youtube may give me that sweet youtube money to buy myself a tank

23:53 *cody has angered the lorax*
The best thing I like most about Cody, is he’s true to himself. It’s hard to find genuine CZcamsrs nowadays. Congrats on the tank Cody, the chieftain is a badass tank.
scam lol
He's true to his fans.
Smoothbore is very common nowadays because of the heavy usage of fin stabilized munitions. I believe britain kept rifled barrels for so long because they used solid shot rounds alot longer. most explosive and kinetic rounds used in the modern day are stabilized by fins on the back of the round
No we kept rifled barrels for so long because of how good that particular gun is and it's more accurate than the smoothbore. We ultimately decided to change to a smoothbore purely for cost reasons with how many MBT's now use smoothbore barrels ammunition for smoothbore barrels is a lot cheaper to buy, and saves a bit of maintenance costs of the rifled barrel. The only ammunition we use on the rifled is a HESH round and an APFSDS round AKA Fin round.
@alexwood724 if it's more accurate than the smoothbore, would it not then make sense for the British army not to switch? You already don't have very many tanks so the cost can be justified, as well, I'm not entirely sure the claim that it's more accurate than the smoothbore is true, if you can show me then great I'd love to learn. Also me mentioning Britain's usage of solid shot was more so to explain in a way that using rifled barrels for longer could be seen as a holdover from that decision, even though Britain adopted fin stabilized rounds quite a while ago.
i enjoyed the tank lore at the end Joe seems to know everything
Only Cody can break a tank *even twice* in a single video
💀
its his first tank, with time he will be on track for a second
i mean a hilux can last longer with cody then a tank, i mean even doh a tank runs over a tree i dont see a hilux do that, you know what he needs a LIFT kit for the tank lol
we break them all the time in the army

It has always bothered me seeing these i bought a tank videos and it was an APC or a handmade bullshit vehicle. You actually got a tank, props homie.

I loved when camera dude saw the tank.
That's normal over here what's the big deal 🤷🏻♂️🤣

I love how that young bloke strikes me as thre exact guy who would have been driving and maintaining the tanks during the wars back in the day, its like he was born in the wrong generation, so cool
Tank is a beast 😎 I was a tank commender and a driver of Merkava mark III gen 2 and it was amazing experience
I used to drive Mk.11's like that one for a living. They were still being used as front-line gun tanks until 1992 (some units retained a few until much later too) and in that version you have exactly the same gun, gun control kit and Thermal Observation and Gunnery Sights (TOGS was not IR, it was MUCH better) as the newer Challenger 1 MBT, (the seller was in error though, Chally 2 does not share the same gun and it has completely more modern fire control kit) with a half awake crew a Mk.11 Chieftain could still spoil anything on the battlefields morning and the L11A5 120mm rifled gun is still the record holder for the longest direct Tank v Tank kill in combat. A few words of advice lads, regular halt parades (check your track tension and adjust manually) always rev the engine down after use for cool off, don't just kill switch it immediately off, the Leyland L60 in the back is her Achilles heel sadly so treat it gently where you can, it's basically a badly made copy of the WWII German Jumo 207 aero diesel engine. Oh the most important thing, NEVER run the L60 past 2500 RPM, as you can get an engine runaway, where basically it will rev itself to destruction (even if you kill the power, it will keep going) and you don't want to be near the wagon if the lump goes Super Nova in the back. We were instructed in the event of a runaway, aim the wagon up a hill and let the crew bail out., because when the engine goes boom you don't want to be in the vicinity - TRUST ME! Oh and ask any Chieftain crew what the scariest job was, they should answer replacing the suspension spring pack - changing those is the best laxative known to man, done wrong the nested springs will go off like an artillery round and fly down range with bits of whoever was stood in front of them attached!
This is a great deal of knowledge. Glad to see someone educated about this trying to help him keep it in a good stand. Hope they see this

Whether a tank barrel has rifling or not depends on the ammunition. Some versions of tank ammunition work better with a smooth barrel and vice versa.

As a former Tank mechanic who has recovered many tanks, I couldn't help but smile when I saw the scene get darker as you were repairing the track 🤣 Shits not easy.
I am just potentially asking a stupid question but having worked on excavator tracks and stuff is preparing or changing a tank truck similar to working on the undercarriage of a let's say caterpillar 350 excavator?
@@codyr504 I would assume it's very similar.
God I hope he paid those guys because that's a lot of work.
@@codyr504 Nothing like it. You need to break the track (disconnecting one side from the other). You also need special tools to reconnected the 2 ends and as well as a bunch of other shit to get it back on the sprocket or whatever part it came off of. Typically takes about an hour depending on your situation and what the terrain is like.
@@gorbdonfreeming so the same then.

What up Diesel, just started tuning into your stuff, very entertaining, about two videos in, I think it was the firetruck, I was like, "he don't give an f@$& does he?" Then I saw the Ferrari and I knew it, then I saw how much work you gave these guys and thought about how much your crew must do at home and i was a bit disturbed! I'm sure you're paying them handsomely for their efforts. Keep up the good stuff eh! 👍
Revisiting this comment as I finish the video (kiddo interrupted) and saw your statement and learning more about you, more power to you man!😅✊️
Loved the ending of the video with y’all just having a great convo about things that y’all like. It’s cool to see genuine people having good conversations with each other. Most celebrities don’t do things like this so thank you.
Pro tip from an Ex tanker, be careful in deep mud, and sand. My dad would constantly have to get towed out by a recovery vehicle during bog trials.
Hey just a recommendation
Try strapping a Gatlin gun to this tank if you can get clearance because a Gatlin gin is like and hand cranked turret on wooden wheels but there are 6 little rifle barrels in a circle
This is where Cody decided to not pay his credit card bill had me dying 🤣🤣 love the vid
If I recall correctly, turning the turret backwards and firing makes you go so fast you can fly

Turns out the internet wasn't a mistake afterall. Despite all the increased degeneracy, it's allowed for a bunch of legends to connect as well

sounds, looks, and drives better than any hypercar out there. ever seen a hypercar with smoke launchers, rotating seats, Periscopes for a windshield, and powered by a 1000hp turbocharged engine?
35:42 The Primary reason is because Brits are Really proud of their High Explosive Squash Head Rounds (HESH) Which required a Circle spin, which could only be provide by a rifled barrel. But now Russian tanks use Reactive Armour which makes Hesh effectively useless. So, they are joining the rest with Smoothbore guns to pursue Armour Piercing rounds which are more effectively stabilized through fins on the armor instead of Rifling.
I love Seth. His enthusiasm and reactions are such a great addition to the channel.
