    I think Steve needs a matching pillow to complete his comfort package. Plus an endless supply of coffee and biscuits just as a reward for squeezing himself in there. One of the best thing to happen to the museum and workshop Wednesday was Steve joining the team. A master mechanic extraordinaire…plus a great sense of humour.

    Steve really seems to see it as his mission to educate the public. I love the First Person Mechanic experience. What a great guy!

    Greetings from South Carolina, USA! When we captured Al Asad air base in Iraq in 2003, we captured one or two of these with some kind of Soviet era radar unit mounted on it. I have some photos of it if you are interested. Thanks for another great video!!!

    A friend of mine had a Russian agriculture tractor for his farm, which used the same V12 engine. And as the and couldn't get replacement oil filters and found out that he could use two large tiolet paper rolls end to end as a stop gap measure. Cheers

    Nice to see a soviet vehicle actually designed for ease of maintenance for once.

    Who is the poor bloke who steam cleans the floor after Russian stuff leaks all over it?

    I used to think "Hey, it'd be cool to own a WW2 tank!" ... but I've realized that I was thinking about driving the thing about the place, swinging the turret about, whatever. But that would make me the worst person to own a tank. The person who would get the most fun out of owning a tank is the one who thinks "Hey, it'd be cool to run the spanners on a WW2 tank". You need to be a dreamer mechanic, not a dreamer driver to own a tank. :D Fascinated by the workings of the thing, not the operating of it.

    Steve you are the MAN! Spelunking in an old Soviet vehicle does not look like the best job. But many people appreciate the work you guys do. Great job to all connected with Aus armor. Thank you from America.

    I think I find the Soviet stuff so fascinating cause it always just seems to manage to be such a paradox.

    Once again, Doc Steve tells the Russian Engineers, "Hold my beer," and then digs into a beast of a machine. Despite the tight twists, turns, and the constant ongoing knuckle bruising battle with Stalin's beast, he persevered with only one BLEEP. Great job Steve.
