Brilliant video. Im so glad you dropped the titles and the extra long musical montages that were in the earlier vids. Engine noises and spannering are what we are here for. They are perfection now.
Love it made my Saturday. The sledding round the yard is the sort of thing we used to get up to back in my engineering days, just like crane swings ! Good times and always enjoyable to watch.
Got a lot of miles in one of those M-54's. Judging by the bumper number 1 CAV is at Fort Hood Texas and 27th MSB is the "Main Support Battalion. Those M54's went out of service in the early mid 1980's
We had the same format of tractor unit in the NZ army in the 70's, Ex Vietnam. Great units all with the same problem, that bloody rag top leaked no matter what we did to seal them. I saw one recently now in a collectors hands and they had converted it to a hardtop to keep it dry
Nice Semi. The diagram for the gear selection reminded me of a mate in Norn Iron who has a WWII M4 half-track. It has the gear selection pattern on a plate on the dash, which includes a plate which says not to engage drive to the front axle when on metalled roads.
that truck is great, love it. Made me think which solenoids operate to select which gear on the TN 12, low 123, high 123, reverse 12, now emergency gears allude me, it's been a few years since I last worked on anything Chieftain, about 2002 and ARRV
That Yank Reo needs proper black airlines and a Pogo Stick. originality and all that .... And of course you needed a Reo to go sledging. As one does! 🤣🤣
I love the M39 series trucks. I have a wrecker (M543), gun tractor (M41), semi tractor (M52), Honest John launcher (M139), all gassers, and a cargo (M813) Cummins diesel.😁👍🍁
At our place the bosses son spills more oil on the workshop floor than a dino fail , kin oil everywhere , out comes the coco fibre yet again , good stuff to have in the workshop👍
Hi guys, just subscribed to the channel after watching a few videos, now that oil spill, would sand not have been better than those rags? I enjoy watching videos like yours even at my tender age of 66yo, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.
Man, cleaning that Chief sounds like a real nightmare haha. Is there by any chance a drainage hole in the driver's bay since everything looks so dirty in there it would be nice to power wash because doing that all by hard is a lot of work
Whole new meaning for a farm skidder 😅😅😅👍👍 atleast H+S was followed he had his high vi's on n toe tecters mind u no lid or gigs gloves might have been nice luv the Reo multifeul hammer fixes are always the best !! More vids please cheers lads couple of lasses in bikinis would of been good for that oil though 🤔 😉 👍
A top loader different allows for one drive shaft to power any number of axles. Centre loaded differential need individual drive shafts from the transfer case. Top loaders also put the drive shaft up out of the way of harm from rough terrain.
Noticed they were "top loaders", but hadn't thought about how that was done. I could see worms offering loads of advantages... Maximal gear ratio - you're driving the crown wheel as far from its axis as is possible. Double the helix meshing - you can mirror it over the top of the crown wheel (globoid worm) Reduced axial loading - you're driving the crown wheel in its own plane. The "pinion" can over shoot - so you can support it with bearings at both ends. The "pinion" can be as big as you like without altering the drive ratio - greater contact surface, reduced wear.
I've gone off any kind of floor drying powder as it gets trampled everywhere and creates a tonne of dust, I keep some around for emergency's but generally if a spill can be managed with rags and some solvent that's how I go about it too.
Abrams? Don't think that would be within the budget even if it was possible to import one from the states, the import costs would also be incredibly high. A knackered Challenger 1 prototype could be purchased apparently as a "runner" for about £65,000 but it's not a complete vehicle. A Challenger II original cost £4,200,000 if you could buy an "old" one at just 5% of it's original cost would be £210,000 very deep pockets would be needed.
Might not need a HGV license as for that age of wagon can get show license but if towing probably need one, I'm guessing as most of the team have worked on lorries atleast a few of them would have got their license
I'm loving the videos just out of curiosity if you dont mind me asking how much would that tank sell for due to the hard work and hours you put in ( does the porn hub cap go with the purchase 😂)
poor girl is trying to do the painted letters and numbers and is getting annoyed by a pest with a camera ;) That road all threw there needs paving or rocks because that mud is terrible.

Totally fascinating. Great work and Tiffany does an amazing job too. 👍🏻

I like the way the steering wheel spoke is taped on the M52, makes it easier to know where the steering is while drifting.

Tanks and anything associated with them is so cool 😊😊😊😊.
stock yourself up with a bunch of pigmats for spills like that. they absorb so much stuff

Thank you Mr Hewes, I enjoyed that. 👍
Love your Toys as long as the work gets done got to have a play.grate videos thanks
Bout time for a trip to the barbers by the look of your closing shot 🤣
Nice looking truck, be sure to check the engine oil level as those engines love to dump fuel in the sump
Will do
Another very cool big boy’s toy. I love the sound of the whistlers. Brilliant video all round 😎

Good video, very interesting.
Always a pleasure to watch these
Beautiful truck.
Guys,, You need to get down to the local saw mill and get some sawdust , O’ and I love the video 👍🏻🇬🇧
Very nice truck.

Safe to say the workshop floor ain’t gonna rot any time soon 🤣🤣🤦♂. The reo is in lovely condition and that turbo whistle 😁
We had a desert spec Saracen for use in Germany. Overheated a lot until we realised the fans blow the other way.
Keep up the the good Tank repair stuff, fantastic to view, makes my Chainsaw Repair stuff look like Micro Surgery...
Another Banging Vid, Keep up the work!
Good Luck in all your endevours!
That spill looked like a job for a wet vac.
That’s a fairly niche trade, ‘Steam Traction Engine and Historic Military Vehicle Registration Plate Painter’. Can’t be too many of them around.
You'd be surprised just how much work there is if you are good at doing it
@@Seb7535_pafc, I’m guessing you don’t do jokes?
@John Nunn Apologies dear chap if that was meant jokingly. Its sometimes hard to tell when it's written down.

Sawdust is an excellent mopper-upper of such oil-spills...
Cleaning Military hardware, the memories flood back. 1969 to 1993 . Ex 1PWO.
just thought of a good name with this video.... CHARIOTS OF DIRE.... youre welcome
Well at least the floor won't rust🤣🤣🤣
I said the same thing! 🤣
@@MrHewes should of kept the oil to burn in the Reo.
Is there anything a Hammer and a couple well placed WHACKS can't fix? Maybe that oil spill?
The best seat for sleeping ! The later challenger 1 did not fold flat like that. The wanknpuffins in the turret would often steal the bed!
So cool mate 🔥 what a beast
Loving the beanie hat 😂😂😂😂👍👍
Nice to see the mess doen to the gun...
Nice tool mate 👍👍

Used to work with a bloke nicknamed 'Torry' after the Torry Canyon because of the amount of oil he spilled everywhere.
Man that king pin setting way back
Hi, beware spontaneous combustion.
I hope those are steel toecap socks!
That AM general military tractor has the winch option in the front seems like you got a pretty cherry truck there
That floor will never rust.....
kitty litter lol
Why doesn't this channel have up woods of 2 million subscribers the content is great.😎❤️👍🤩🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
That was about as bad as the Exxon Valdez when it struck by Reef in 1989
Good fire starters
You guys need to "really" stockup on "kitty litter" !!😂
Have you tried to clean the oil with sawdust ?
Use cat litter great for oil spills and cheap to buy
You should get in touch with Diesel Creek - he's just acquired an M52 Deuce and a Half.

You Certainly know how to make a miss ...... and then getting poor old Jack to clean it up ..... poor old boy 😜
He loves it
Can tell who the boss is !! 🤑
My mechanic fella wants to know what was the source of the oil on the shop floor.
My actual dream truck 😮💨
Thanks 👍
Thank you too
Need a bit more/less weight on the grading attachment, I think😅😅😊
At 14:50 So if the boat comes to a grinding halt in the middle of the Atlantic.. the boat sank, and the Chieftains sitting at the bottom
Gonna have to use exclusively her for sending loads out
Whole new meaning for a farm skidder 😅😅😅👍👍 atleast H+S was followed he had his high vi's on n toe tecters mind u no lid or gigs gloves might have been nice luv the Reo multifeul hammer fixes are always the best !! More vids please cheers lads couple of lasses in bikinis would of been good for that oil though 🤔 😉 👍
Il work on the bikinis
@@MrHewes tank hub on them 👍👍😉
Always had a soft spot for the M35/M54 series , I once sat in a M35 whistler, at 6ft, knees around ears so no joy. So is the M52 bigger cab wise?
Unfortunately they both have the same cab
Use kitty litter to suck up the oil it’s cheaper then dry sweep
Need a bit of floor dry
Hi, a ducking beauty , want one.
I hope Cody doesn’t wreck the chieftain, it’s kind of inevitable though 🙃
At least the floor won't rust...
Get a wet n dry vac, that oil was totally reusable 😂😂😂
We used to heat the shop with an "oil devil" you could chuck any old used oil in it and heat the shop. probably banned by the green lot these days.
cat litter for spills
😎👍
Nice tractor unit, Antar would be better though 😜
Bit too petrol tho
Dear Joseph,
Is this USA army truck based on a M39 6×6 ? And is this truck still in your collection?
What's the advantage of using Worm Gear Rear Diffs..... better ground clearance or are they stronger than Inline (ie Prop goes straight into it)??
I’m not exactly sure
A top loader different allows for one drive shaft to power any number of axles. Centre loaded differential need individual drive shafts from the transfer case. Top loaders also put the drive shaft up out of the way of harm from rough terrain.

"What a babe"
Is floor dry not a thing over there?? Would have made cleaning that spill up so much easier
I've gone off any kind of floor drying powder as it gets trampled everywhere and creates a tonne of dust, I keep some around for emergency's but generally if a spill can be managed with rags and some solvent that's how I go about it too.
What’s the possibility of getting a newer MBT project like perhaps a Challenger or Abrams? 🧐
Abrams? Don't think that would be within the budget even if it was possible to import one from the states, the import costs would also be incredibly high. A knackered Challenger 1 prototype could be purchased apparently as a "runner" for about £65,000 but it's not a complete vehicle.

@@davewise001 you could always acquire/intercept one that is being shipped to Ukraine. Then you’d have the newest version of the Abrams 😏
RIP forklift.
For it's age that Reo looks mint. curious if you or any of that lads have a HGV license and plan on actually using it to tug or just a new toy.
Might not need a HGV license as for that age of wagon can get show license but if towing probably need one, I'm guessing as most of the team have worked on lorries atleast a few of them would have got their license
@@alasdairmeredith2711 Its probbaby classed as vintage so can be driven on a car licence. Cant tow a semi trailer on the roads though. Only a caravan.
I have HGV license
@@MrHewes Ah fair enough, would be a sight to see it out on the roads! Although cant imagine it would be very fun to drive far 🤣
@@MrHewes pretty sure you having a class 1/2 hgv makes no difference. Depends what the reo is classed as on the V5 - ie historic vehicle - no trailer.
I'm loving the videos just out of curiosity if you dont mind me asking how much would that tank sell for due to the hard work and hours you put in ( does the porn hub cap go with the purchase 😂)
just throw a bunch of kitty litter down and shovel it
How does a duece and a half even simi?
great videos,are you ex REME you seem to loads about military vechicles.
Nope farmers son me
Is this the truck type that got turned into gun trucks?
whatever happened to the old army cotton swarth....
No way that’s a 1952. It looks more like a M800 series 5 ton tractor
for free?!?
how can that be!?!
WAS CLEAN NOT NOW LOL
poor girl is trying to do the painted letters and numbers and is getting annoyed by a pest with a camera ;)

How much oil was spilt on the ground at the start of the video 20L how much does a v12 hold of oli???????😊
