      plus this is german machining back during the late 1930's to think they made the gaer box then, so just think how complex new gear box's are and also electrically controlled and very expensive to make out of hi quality steels, the stuff they use today is nothing compared to the steel's used for a tank gear box, everything is over engineered and that's how germany made things all the time?

      @@7071t6 ..assuming they have access to enough rare elemental/mineral ores for processing towards specialist alloys, that is..
      But yeah, the 19th Century joke about German engineering being bad, really spurned them onwards, and considering just human 'computer' brains with slide-rules and calculation tables, with CAM-Auto Lathes & Milling Machines...
      ..Britain and the Coburg-Gotha parts of pre-unity Germany did share a lot together during the Victoria & Albert era..

    @Nebulax123 Před rokem +1

    Awesome! A tip from an old man, when drifting in things like these bearings with a brass punch you want a big hammer and light blows it is easier on the parts and easier on you. I always used a short handled sledge hammer. It is more like pressing it in rather than using hard blows that can cock the piece or damage it. Big hammer, soft blows you won't damage anything. I learned that many years ago from an old machinist.

    Amazing to see this differential Intuit, I work in the UK making industrial axles for airport tow vehicles and the similarities between what we produce and use and what was used by the Germans 75 years ago is Incredible, our parts aren't as shiny as they are made from castings and forgings, but they do the same job in the same way.

    OMG the polish really know how to machine complex gear sets ,to think i am sure someone here in australia could have done the same thing, but it would have cost so much more, even with a template, which we did not have, but the polish did have spares and made new sets of gears for the gear box?

I have family who are machinists, my dad worked for Timken bearings and I worked the Timken steel mills. We all agree those boys from Poland did a beautiful job! Besides the machine work I really love the narration of these videos. There are people who can read from a script well, and then there are others who can tell a story from the same script. This definitely falls into the later category! 🎉😊 Great channel!

    The combination of strenght and fine feeling displayed here really touches me.
    I was born in 1960, got interested in WW2 at 12, grew up in the Bulge area, watching monument tanks rust away and dreaming how wild it would be if ever someone restored just one of them to former glory. (Or maybe just give it a new coat of paint, but that seemed too much to ask.)
    Was certain it was just impossible dreams...and now these guy are not only doing it, but let me watch.

You should compare it to the cost of the original. Then you should remind the other viewers that scaled-down versions of these shiny metallic wonders help move them to and fro in their cars - every day, unnoticed by most of 'em!
