Doesnt it have a huge recoil? Probably special rounds

what purpose does the "cap" on the copula serve if there are already vision slits on the lower part of the copula? also can it be opened?

My favourite vehicle in BF 1

Nice! we have a Sherman moulded hull tank in a museum here in NZ👍🇳🇿

I have always enjoyed French in Action...

I am so much grateful to you guys for keeping memory of the history of the American military. God bless you!

Wow. And it had the 37mm too.

My absolute FAVORITE tank! :)

Fantastic :)

The FT 17 is my favorite tank of all time! You guys did a beautiful job restoring this one :) It still blows my mind that the early version had wood front wheels.

Outstanding work!

Wow. I just found this video. I am so excited. This is my "favorite" tank. And I still learn new things 🙂

This guy has made a replica FT17 in his shop, runs an old Willys F134 inline 4 to power it, although the way it sounds when steering i think it could use a bigger flywheel. th-cam.com/video/_-shuAaiVEo/w-d-xo.html

Love it

What a great job

Szacunek i podziw dla prawdziwego pasjonata. Rewelacja, fantastyczny materiał.

I don't get the wooden roller wheels on the front. I mean if that gets shot at wouldn't that just decimate it? Seems to be the weakest part of the tank or maybe its reinforced with steel inside.

so nice to see these old motors being cared for :)

That carburetor float is so satisfying

Why is this not in a French museum i wonder?

Good job, it's a beautiful piece of engineering....!

Cool tank ! Like the camo paint job! Gig ‘em Aggies!

Beautiful... Thank you to all of you who have offered their time and energy to make this great tank work like new.. and it will be a terrific teaching tool for many many years to come.. And great eye candy too!

Would anyone know where I'd be able to get specifications for the transmission

I think starts and runs better than it probably did the day it was built! Great job, an incredibly cool vehicle.

This tanks is just unbelievably cool.

Wow it's super clean !

Fantastic job on the restoration. I'm making a model of one now and that kind of info is invaluable.

Ahh, the Renault. for its time, it was light, fast, reliable, and modern. it is also kinda cute. an all around win.

Great job of this little war machine. Kudos from France!

Want to sell it

Awesome video! I just built the Meng model of the FT-17 in 1/35th scale and this was invaluable for painting tips

Great video explained with no frills but comprehensively. I am astonished at the advanced French engineering particularly metallurgy - fusion of aluminium, brass and cast iron remarkable.

It's amazing how complex this little tank was, especially in that time

They have one of these in the bottom floor in the West Point museum in Highland Falls NY. I remember the track plates were all inscribed with the word "ANSCO". Not sure of where and when that specimen was built though.

Its like clio of tanks 🤣

How did the shifting lever connect to the transmission? I can't find anything useful on the internet. a video showing the linkages or a drawing would be especially helpful.

Et oui on ce fous souvent de notre gueule mais vous avez la le savoir faire francais 👍🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵

Thats one very small inline 8, I bet the cylinders are the size of the ones found in a lawnmower

Even then it had the classical Renault engines sound, just like the Ventoux, Sierra, Cleon or Billancourt engines

There is another working unit in Montana - th-cam.com/video/mPkMn158Fwo/w-d-xo.html

Mate, that’s a beauty of a tank!.

I've seen plenty of those in Afghanistan film footage when US Troops were there!

What a great job! I simply cannot imagine being in that thing in combat. Imagine you are in a firefight and you stall the engine! Someone has to get out and drop the tail and then turn the crank. Oh my. And the wooden main drive wheel! One shot with a rifle and it would be firewood. I kept looking at it thinking why would they paint it to look like wood? They didn't because it is wood.

cute little thing. Greetings from Sweden

Do you have it in battleship grey?

When you have more than 1 liter per cylinder What is the torque on that engine ?

Thank you very much, gentlemen, for this video, because even the best books won't show as well how this tank works, it's really amazing to find out so much informations about my favorite tank from over 100 years ago, great job!

Muy buen trabajo

Crew comms are the interesting part of the tank!
