The tool for securing the plate on was called a 'tool combination ' or 'combi tool' It fitted all the filler plugs and drain plugs. It could also be used to open hatches from the outside. We also used it as a weight for throwing d10 up into trees so that we could hoist cam nets up.
Chieftain looks great .Thanks for keeping another beast running . Quil shaft removal and replacement was always a bit if a dark art. They always had to be kept in the bin on the side that they came out of when removed for towing.
What a crew you all are!! Good to see the work getting done in a very friendly atmosphere. Best bit is knowing that you are making another Chieftain runnable, I would say useable but it can't use the gun so it isn't.
The more I watch this channel, the happier my life gets. It's almost like being back in the mob with all the banter. You'd all have made great REE-MEE Reccy Mechs! Not an artificer amongst you though ROFL
I guess nobody else made it to 16:40 for the “I can’t wait to hear what the people of the internet think”. Jack, get yourself an old style Hilti gun and just nail the p clips to the metalwork
Nice to see one of those old chieftains looking so good, I can remember training in one way back in the 1980s on Thetford training grounds, brought back some happy memories to this old fart 😂
got to love Hot Panty Jack - he fits those shorrrrrts oh so well, and over trousers, i'm impressed, and his voice never went up while climbing the steps - next week is high heels week and we can't see what Joe is wearing behind the camera - a tank top - the glasses is a nice touch, such a bright lad after being advised to use the words reinsert, removed glasses and resorted to 'sliding it in' is the lever for 1st, 2nd and 'run away' gear Jacks pretty nifty with the old ratchet, but why hasn't he, i mean why hasn't Joe got him a cordless ratchet, use a 3/8s with 1/4 converter, it saves him putting the tool on and walking round in circles loving the banter as ever, always a joy to watch
I hope Jack doesn't need a crap in a hurry lol, things may not go well lol. I lost the bet with myself, I thought "he'll never get them on ffs" ..... but he did He's "like a Meercat" was a crack up
@@MrHewes It's time-consuming even with the right pliers, but quite satisfying. And better than lifting the gearbox a week later when the steering disc had come loose and disintegrated. Out of interest, what are you using instead?
I know we were all way too focussed on Jack’s fashion choices at the beginning but was that all that remained of Midlands Joe (from the Abbott video) laying on the floor to the left? Did the liquid that spilt on himself completely melt him?
Be careful peering over those cooling fans while the engine is running and the blades are turning. One loose jacket part and things start to unravel pretty quickly.
Is there a reason why you use WD40 when you installed the bolts (13.00mins )? WD40 is a poor lubrication, so wouldn't copper slip be better ( unless it's "'ally") ? P.S. I know little to nothing about military vehicles so I'm genuinely interested as to why you use it, other than as a release agent? Great channel by the way and to say I'm jealous of you and the crew playing with big toys is an understatement! Keep up the good work!
Originally fitted to enable a fording screen - never used. Has a small drain just in front of the driver that when clogged, makes a great water trap to soak the driver going up an incline.
Let's all have a moment of silence for Jack's balls after working in those hot pants, may they one day return to their normal shape and position. What a legend.
Who was slightly aroused by Jack in Hop pants?
That’s not PPE?
I just thought the nuts looked rather tight. Needed some heat...
who wasnt?
You guys must be hard workers with eye candy like that walking around
The Daisy Duke is strong with that lad!
How refreshing to see lads being lads , Keep it up boys
Call me a heathen but I kinda miss the swearing
Using your videos I’ve converted my mothers Vauxhall Corsa into a FV107
Came across this series by accident………now I’m thoroughly hooked. Great to watch.😎😎😎

A year later and still great, one of your best vids !!

Love Jacks Top Gun t shirt... Pure class...
Hey there is a Mil-Mi- 24 Hind on an abandoned military base in the UK you guys should see about recovering it.
What a crew you all are!! Good to see the work getting done in a very friendly atmosphere. Best bit is knowing that you are making another Chieftain runnable, I would say useable but it can't use the gun so it isn't.
Blummin adore this ole lass coming together again. A true piece of kit then

You know, there are a great many higher quality tank channels on here. We’re really just watching for the banter.
The art of being good mechanics/engineers looking like they are pissing about,but in fact being skilled professionals in the process
Yep.
Which video did you just watch?
Thanks! Really needed this turorial. I could not drive my chieftain without its gearbox but thanks to your tutorial i will be able to fix it.
I guess nobody else made it to 16:40 for the “I can’t wait to hear what the people of the internet think”. Jack, get yourself an old style Hilti gun and just nail the p clips to the metalwork
amazing those steel capped safety socks had that gearbox dropped
Nice to see one of those old chieftains looking so good, I can remember training in one way back in the 1980s on Thetford training grounds, brought back some happy memories to this old fart 😂
With all the messing around you still do a great job on the tanks 😉😊👍👍👏
Awesome work!!! Can't wait to see it running!
Think you boys should have a Saturday night show .
I'd pay extra for the unedited version of the Hewes Boyz!
Jack is the bomb....love that T shirt
Thanks for the laughs boys. The engineering is great too. 🙂
Can't wait to see the chief running
love the vids especially the banta mate top class
13:49 I just crushed a house fly. First of the year, so they’re slow and I hear this. Laughed out loud!
I don't watch this stuff for the content.... the commentary is where real fun is.😂😂
got to love Hot Panty Jack - he fits those shorrrrrts oh so well, and over trousers, i'm impressed, and his voice never went up while climbing the steps - next week is high heels week
and we can't see what Joe is wearing behind the camera - a tank top - the glasses is a nice touch, such a bright lad
after being advised to use the words reinsert, removed glasses and resorted to 'sliding it in'
is the lever for 1st, 2nd and 'run away' gear
Jacks pretty nifty with the old ratchet, but why hasn't he, i mean why hasn't Joe got him a cordless ratchet, use a 3/8s with 1/4 converter, it saves him putting the tool on and walking round in circles
loving the banter as ever, always a joy to watch
Good paint job jack
13:28 so that's the proper chieftain Allen key you were talking about at 10:39?
Correct
Jack in the daisy Duke shorts is 1 thing I wish I could unsee
I was concerned when the gear box was being lowered in until I saw Jack had his steel cap socks on
I am pretty sure Ted knows more about military equipment than most people
Proving yet again that “Daisy Dukes “ look best on Daisy Duke! Lol 😂
I have been watching u from day one its good to c u r good mates 😁
I hope Jack doesn't need a crap in a hurry lol, things may not go well lol. I lost the bet with myself, I thought "he'll never get them on ffs" ..... but he did
He's "like a Meercat" was a crack up
Love the banter
nice work - how much under water the engines can go before they stop?
Love these videos!
Looked like the bolts for the steering discs weren't lock-wired.
Always enjoyed doing that job when it was 2am and pouring down with rain.
I despise lock wire
@@MrHewes It's time-consuming even with the right pliers, but quite satisfying. And better than lifting the gearbox a week later when the steering disc had come loose and disintegrated.
Out of interest, what are you using instead?
Top vid! They are really improving 🎉
Must be the new laptop 😁😁
I know we were all way too focussed on Jack’s fashion choices at the beginning but was that all that remained of Midlands Joe (from the Abbott video) laying on the floor to the left? Did the liquid that spilt on himself completely melt him?
Top tip - never touch a discarded sock that belongs to a man who wears a porn hub hat.
Another brilliant vid guys Top C..t
That back road wheel rubber on the right side of the tank is screaming for retirement🤣
Well done boys and ted 🐕
everyone knows ted is the most qualified one there
As always you are doing a great job and making it very tidy. Good job 👏 👍
Jack in his Daisy Duke's!!!! 😂😂😂😂
You are very cool guy! I like your video!
"I like things clean!!" You'd never guess, looking at the state of him!! ;-)
i wear glasses and i approve this episode. which part of the property do you grow your weed on?
Great show. So how does someone come and work for you
Daisy Jack Duke?
He looks cute in his Daisy Dukes.
I wish you could explain how the quils actually work
The pin tool is a remover and puter - inner.
How much does a finished Chieftain sell for? Shipping costs not included.
You guys should hire an HR manager just to see how long he/she lasts before they walk out 😂
5 mins…
How about an health and safety manager😂😂😂😂😂
Always a laugh, with a bit of 'mechanical education' thrown in for us non mechanical 'Noddies'... Nice one!. 🤣
Be careful peering over those cooling fans while the engine is running and the blades are turning. One loose jacket part and things start to unravel pretty quickly.
Jack should be wearing a top runt t shirt.
hahahah tank top would suit him/her Jackie (good for a laugh)
The quill was extracted so cannot then be re-inserted, without being inserted first, before inserting it again; that’s re-inserted.
please stop saying inserted when Jack just reinserted himself into those pants hehe
@@patchmack4469, 🤫, I’m still thinking about those shorts. 😋, Jack!
Good to see that T-Shirt got past the TH-cam Gestapo.
Your best Janet Street-Porter look, eh?
Ok....... that T-Shirt ..........where and how much ..badly need one !!!
Funniest thing I've seen all day.
Jack’s T shirt 😆😆😆
Is there a reason why you use WD40 when you installed the bolts (13.00mins )? WD40 is a poor lubrication, so wouldn't copper slip be better ( unless it's "'ally") ? P.S.

Far better release agents out there.
Because it's cheap...
Just to blast off the grit out the threads before fitting
Random question, what's the curtain track looking thing around the driver's hatch and extending up around the turret for?
Originally fitted to enable a fording screen - never used.
Has a small drain just in front of the driver that when clogged, makes a great water trap to soak the driver going up an incline.
Keep going boy's!
We need tank ! Poutine put more in combat!
Lucky you there!
At least we have some!😅😅😅
Please use nee pads on concrete Mr Hewes
Daisy Dukes and tank rebuilds…… Someone somewhere is finding this enjoyable……😂😂😂
Let's all have a moment of silence for Jack's balls after working in those hot pants, may they one day return to their normal shape and position. What a legend.
...in 3 easy steps!!! ;-)
The Three Stooges….I love it.
bed jack walks around like the carpet carrier in the gym.....
Naughty, steering disc"s and twyflex always lock wired
I’m a very naughty person
Pretty sure Ted's done more in less time than Jack
Just wondering how many gearbox lifts I did or was involved in during the 9 years I was crewing a chieftain
🔝🔫 shirt......brilliant
Grand old job mates! Where is the Dutch fitter at?
Scotland I think
@@MrHewes what a life. Vacation in Scotland. Keep up the good content Joe - really enjoy it.
Its funny to see you using Milwaukee tools. They're built about an hour and a half from here.
Are you not supposed to shim the David Brown TN 12 gearbox using a optical scope.
I think that flathead screw needs a screw to hold it in place.
Yes
I trust Jack is wearing his steel toecap socks?
Perfect as allways
who are you guys? and where did you acquire the vehicle? also are there videos of concrete removal?
jack trying to squeeze into those hot pants with that bakery is the best.
How do you shim up the gearbox.
About ready to take on spiney norman
I bet there's absolutely no circulation going through his legs with those short shorts on
Excellent piss taking of each other, and general arsing about. Oh and a tank thingy
😎👍
Removal/installation tool !!
How about installation tool.
Any idea when the last Chieftain was painted Berlin, brigade camo
The Army painted a Challenger 2 in those colours recently. Looks amazing...
@@ScienceChap Thank you
