The best documented M3 Grant overhaul in history. Incredibly fascinating history and a wealth of knowledge for other reenactors. Polish tankers also served on these tanks. Kind regards.
This museum is the Best channel for restoration/overhaul videos !
The tank is more than 80 years old, yet the bearings, final drive and transmission gears are perfect, as if they were made yesterday. We need to pay tribute to the people that designed, machined and build them. What an incredible job they did.
“…these are wear washers..”
“Do they come out in the full moon?” 😂😂
Great restoration, thanks for the full movie 👍
This is fascinating, my Dad was a Technical Sergeant with the 20th Armored Division "The Liberators". That's the Division that Liberated the concentration camp " Dachau". He used to fiddle with those giant GM engines and the Rolls-Royce Merlins they would put in the Shermans that his guys would drive. He was one of the fellows who would keep 'em Rollin' down the European roads. He left us on 7 July 1970. Miss him still, I do.
An hour and a half well spent. Congratulations to all involved and great editing Curt.😎
I've said this before and it's worth saying again. You people are just amazing. What you do to fix this collection of junk is necessary and so cool. Thanks again for all you do.
"Neverseize - the mechanics glitter"
It looks absolutely awesome and the smile on Darrell’s face says it all 😊
Thank you Kurt for all the awesome videos this last year! Happy Christmas to you, and everyone at Aus armour.
Dear guys,
This Australian WWII M3 Grant Tank is absolutely beautiful restored and this project was done with a lot of love, a great precision and eye for every detail. Everybody can see with how much dedication this restoration is done so I’m very very impressed. Look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands
Workshop Wednesday+++ I am in heaven, Thanks Kurt for a fantastic job, plus thanks to the team for the brilliant work they have done to make the Grant a success. Cheers & Merry Christmas
This was an incredibly good job guy's. 👏 a pleasure to watch.
I wasn't expecting a 1.5 hour video drop, but its interesting to see all the segments as one doco
Always thankful for my WW fix. Thanks Kurt!
What a transformation !. You guys must have such a sense of satisfaction. Spending a year of your lives turning a wreck into a running machine that will bring enjoy to thousands. We are not worthy. Cheers from Blighty.
One of the very best tank restoration videos I have ever seen. Thanks to all of you!
As a retired master mechanic I totally enjoyed watching your rebuild. It must give you great pride and many bumps and bruises. Great job A+ Vietnam Veteran
Hope you guys weathered the Cyclone ok .
They did if they rode it out in the tank😂.
Love the "keep go'in " --on the easy end
Somewhere there’s a 105 year old screaming at their phone “you can’t put the traverse mechanism in before the gun”
Would that be you?
It will be now. Learn something everyday.
Majstori svaka čast vi ste pravi tim za obnovu mašina koje su za otpad i sa svojim požrtvovanim radom vraćate ih u novi život svima vama želim puno sreće i zdravlja kao i napretka u vašem radu. Sretno.
I'm sitting here building a Lego Concorde whilst you guys are putting together a WWII M3 Grant with Australian specifications. I'm guessing yours is slightly more difficult than my build!
Not too shabby with that gas axe, I’m jelly! Great work boys!
Brilliant job fellas and a great job in the editing also. Have a Great Christmas and New Year. Hope the Cyclone didnt cause you too much grief.
Fantastic project, thanks for producing this extended video.
So, I watched all parts of the restauration... Oh look, all parts in one complete movie! ...Watched it again... 👍😊👍
Mix emotion here and a little tears of joy I'm not an Aussie I just admire the effort and knowledge you guys put in to restore and preserve history salute from 🇨🇿
Always a pleasure to watch all of your amazing work!
I really enjoyed the Workshop Wednesday series on the M3 Grant, and seeing it all documented again in this version is great as well. You are all the best at what you do. Cheers from Texas.

It’s a beauty guys!
Outstanding video of the complete restoration.
YESSS FINALLY! It is here! Thanks for this content guys. LOVE the full restoration videos.

You guys are AWESOME! Thanks for keeping this history alive.
Absolutely fantastic. To bring back an iconic piece of war time history is an an achievement. so proud of you all.
Awesome job!
Really impressive! My father rode around in one of these in North Africa.
I always look forward to seeing workshop Wednesday you guys are all great builders
I love this summary.
Amazing work fellas. I’ve watched every workshop Wednesday since day one on this piece and it was just as enjoyable. Well done mates!
Das alles, all die gemachte Arbeit an dem Panzer. Das verdient Respekt. Es wurde alles penibel und richtig gemacht, jede einzelne schraube wurde repariert und jede Stelle egal wo die sich befand restauriert. Super Arbeit
Love this tank ❤❤❤
I always loved grant after watching Humphrey in Sahara 🎥 70s 🇬🇧🤠🤟
As well as the remake featuring James Belushi. I can still remember the final lines of that film... "Lest we forget...lest we forget."
Beautiful tank.
wow...😮 what a piece of art ... what a piece of work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great episode Guys!!
"do they come out on a full moon?" - classic
Se riuscirò un giorno a visitare il vostro paese, la tappa obbligata sarà senz'altro il Vostro Museo!!!!Ancora complimenti per il vostro eccezionale lavoro!!!! Buon Natale a tutti voi 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Great job guys
Thank you guys for bringing history back to life. Well done.
Awesome .
Quality American steel and engineering 🤠✌🇬🇧🇺🇲
Great job as usual. The end result is spectacular.
Stunning
WOW. I forgot how much more complete this one was at the start compared to the StuG III. You guys are basically building that StuG, almost from scratch.
I love how the mirrored-gears are designed, so as to maintain contact with the spindle gear. Something truly beautiful about a well designed machine.
'Ackchyually' the roof mounted mesh screens were designed to protect the tank from swooping magpies...
😁
Obviously that's an anti drone screen, was 100% successful too.
Fellas please release more long form content. It's absolutely fascinating to see the restoration, it's truly a lost art.
The M3 Grant series is what introduced me to Aus Armor and now I look forward to every workshop Wednesday.
Goes back together much easier than coming apart, great work.
Ryan is a rare breed of mechanic. You are so lucky to have him. Well to be honest,all your guys are incredible fabricators and restorers. My hats off to all of them.i look forward to every Wednesday update!
brilliant well done
Very well done gentlemen.
I love these videos i also sent it to my dad and i know he will like it😍
WOW good job guys
The coffin for seven brothers. Nice vid
Well done lads keep at it and preserve history.
I remember when I got a model of this tank and I had to decide if I wanted it to be a Lee or a Grant tank. Great work guys and thanks for the footage. Hope the cleanup after the cyclone wasn't too bad.
Amazing job. Its really nice to watch these old tanks get fixed up. keep up the good work!!
I love this full restoration movies!!!
Nicely done!

Absolutely AMAZING work fellas!
As an American it makes me smile to see people take pride in their own history.
I take my hat off and make a deep bow. Perfect restauration
The Detroit sounds perfect.
I’m absolutely blown away by the skill of all those involved in this work. Simply amazing and thank you for all your hard work guys.
I just love the process of stripping back; cleaning and rebuilding as original. It's almost like building a brand new tank
This was brilliant to watch. Thank you for documenting it all so well.
Great to see it all over again at one time, thanks! Congratulations!
As always thank you Australian Armour & Artillery Museum for posting your video as well as all your excellent videos too! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all who work for The Australian Armour & Artillery Museum and I can't wait to see what's in store from you all next year in 2024!
All the best from down south. The floods look wild up NQ. I remember living in Townsville only having to lock stuff down. Stay safe.
A bloody great job boys well done.
My 4 year son really enjoys your videos. Hopefully he becomes a engineer in the future.
