Good effort with the heat exchanger. Although I wouldn't hold your breath.. I always thought they were the Achilles heel of the K60.. I've even seen them come out of their wooden crates "brand spankers" , fitted to the pack, run the pack up outside the hull and immediately rupture.. Seems that even in storage they seemed to build up condensation and rot from the inside out.. Always a nightmare because they tend to start mixing all the fluids when they blow internally.. Enjoy watching your channel, brings back memories. Thanks
Just started watching, yep a newbie!! 23 years in a tank regiment, mostly chieftain, then challenger 1, you guys are doing exactly what i would have done if i could when i finnished!! Brilliant fun, well done !! Dont think you need it but i do have some chieftain info !! very impressed with Cent engine work!!
after military service retrained as a mechanic and worked in Bovington overhauling heavy armour, my claim to fame is I rebuilt the Tiger. You guys have so much fun, as we did in our early years but you get the job done! enjoyed the FIP work on T34, learned lots! thank you .
My Dad and then my elder brother were both in the REME and as a young lad I lived at various army bases (Larkhill springs to mind) and I climbed over virtually every tracked vehicle I could. I know it’s just an engine but they have a specific noise that brings back all sorts of memories.
Popping the engine in for a quick test is a good idea and something I have never done. By the time the engine is back in a duetz tractor it’s 90% done :o)
5am get ready for move out. Gunners had a night’s sleep sort of and REME are roused off the warm engine covers from another all nighter. Gun fire tea and an egg banjo. How we lived in the seventies!
Always interesting vlogs from Joe, it all looks so casual but these lads get the job done and do not watch the clock 'cos they are enjoying themselves. (or so it seems thanks to the editing!!)

I'm told by an old FV433 gunner that their party piece was to have six rounds in the air at the same time! Also, that they practiced direct fire so they could engage vehicles. Can anyone confirm this.
Part of the CES for one of these came with a direct fire sight system, so I would imagine they practiced it but if it got to that it was pretty much your end of days lol
Former is probably MRSI. Different elevations and probably incremental charges to get all the rounds down on the target simultaneously. Major first-impact force multiplier.
@@Brigadier9 Yes, that's what I thought. I know it's possible with SP90 but the range is greater and the flight time to target longer.. Doing it with a 105mm is bloody amazing! Hats off to them. Well trained and drilled gun crew. Just goes to show how good things were during the cold war BAOR days.
Back when these things were being beasted across the Plain, by the RAC, how many hours would these engines/g-boxes do on average, before needing swapped?
Would it not have been easier to slightly bend the metal to weld on the pipe 😅 Can I ask what is the colours of paint you use and where can you get the. 😂 just in case I buy a tank. No seriously what are the colours. My garage needs painting. 😊
Is that a Abbot SPG? The gun is different. It has no muzzle brake. To me it looks like it has got a smoothbore gun that you would see on light tanks and main battle tanks.
@@bert26a L60 had a myriad of problems that were mainly due to all the bolted on ancillaries. The engine itself was quite robust and reliable as a generator unit. In a ever increasing weighty tank it was under powered. The K60 suffered less but still had its issues. Again mainly ancillaries like gennies, heat exchangers, starters and fan drives.
I'll see your african kids fixing swimming pools at three in the morning videos and raise you those teams of pakistani dudes with no safety gear and minimal tools in a dusty, backstreet workshop welding together a huge, broken caterpillar crankshaft or somesuch before a complete engine rebuild. Way more absorbing! (Your videos are ace btw)
The Diane Abbot hate is pretty disgusting. She's the first black woman elected to UK parliament and has been enduring this kind of unwarranted abuse since day one, almost 40 years ago. Do better.
Where exactly Is the hate? The vehicle is called an Abbot, I can name my vehicles whatever I wish. Also the lady your referring to is actually spelt Abbott. Do better.
Don’t see any hate from them and whilst I don’t hate her she is an absolute lunatic irrespective of her skin colour, which should neither be the reason for hate nor the reason not to.
I don't care that she's Black, I care that she's anti-NATO and therefore effectively pro-Putin. Also, why didn't you capitalize Black? It's 2023, DO BETTER.
Dose anyone think Bateman looks like Jesus?
He's the massiah!
If Jesus come from wish!
No beard and not Mediterranean
Only if Jesus was called Lord Passion Fingers.
He looks nothing like the Arsenal number 9.
Big shout out to TED if it wasn't for TED's technical expertise and direction, these boys would be totally lost!
And if Ted was doing due diligence, they'd have rubbish everywhere!
@Gavin correct he even cleans up the garbage/rubbish too. Proper Boss dog...
Couldn’t agree more, Teds the man!!

Drinking beer in Canada and watching some British guys bs around on tanks today was a good day

Another great video of men playing with really, really big toys........and Ted.
Thanks 😊 Hope the best for your all 🙏
I think JC’s havin a bad day….. doesn’t help when his Disciples take the piss😂
IT sounded right !
But star of the show is Ted the patient faithful dog very adept at dodging track vehicles lol

Good Stuff as usual. Ya still all mad as meat axes. Luv it. The Ole Fella from Downunda

Great way to start a Sunday tank stuff bacon and coffee . Thanks boys .

Engine pack sounds sweet.
Yeah for a old girl it runs sweet
My dog is named Ted too. Smart dog that you’ve got!
Thanks lads very informative 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍
i find it interesting how Milwaukee changes its decals outside of the us
So glad I found this channel, I could watch y'all fixing up tanks for hours!
always a great watch 👍
Came for the Ted Content, stayed for the tanks
5am get ready for move out. Gunners had a night’s sleep sort of and REME are roused off the warm engine covers from another all nighter. Gun fire tea and an egg banjo. How we lived in the seventies!

Yeah we have a good crack
Seems like such an interesting place to be, thanks Guys!!
This is honestly peak TH-cam content 🙌
Bleeping good job on that bleeping engine!
cracking video and bodgery
MOAR Doggo!

Ah the 4G power pack …… great memories 😮😅
More useful than it’s namesake.
more reliable and more useful😂😂😂
12:16 that's some quality Dad's joke there :D
Very entertaining 👍🏼🏴☠️✌🏼
Did you just JB weld that oil cooler ? thats pretty good stuff I know...but will it last very long ?
Chemical metal
Recognise that engine sound
I’m sure that wash down water goes straight into a waste oil interceptor & seperator
Yes actually when I did the drainage for my yard I fitted an interceptor
I thought they distilled it to make cider
😊You guys are the best👍
🎶🎤Karaoke time…
“ I’m so young,

Once did 3 pack lifts in 3 days on the same 432 , all failed heat exchangers
Nice one! Niff said! 🤣🤣
Is it for sale as im looking for a 433 or a 432. 😊
When was that engine last fired? Great video👍👍
FOR A GROUP OF YOUNG MEN DID YOUR SCHOOL REPORTS ALL SAY THE SAME THING AND NOW LOOK AT WHAT YOUS CAN DO OUTSTANDING WORK 😊.
got my track licence on a 432 before moving to challenger 2
Diane Abbott because the numbers just don’t add up 😅
And she’s a bit of a tank herself
7:19 - 7:42 Mechanic life 😂😂😂😂
Diane Abbott because the both look the same from behind 😂😂😮
You need to get a Humber pig - coolest armoured truck in times gone by
Not the ones in NI. Absolute pain to work on.
but excellent fun to drive.
@@billmiddleton2183 I preferred the sarrycan
Do you call it Diane abbot because its tracks are on the wrong way round?
Nah its coz she pulls to the left all the time!
Would it not have been easier to slightly bend the metal to weld on the pipe 😅
Can I ask what is the colours of paint you use and where can you get the. 😂 just in case I buy a tank. No seriously what are the colours. My garage needs painting. 😊
Somebody buy the dog a new blankie FFS! 🤣🤣🤣

In honour of Diane Abbott, I have given this video eleven billonty likes.
We need Ted and Tanks t shirts. 🤓
Soon!
We will get it working no matter how much paint it takes!
Now that's a big fucking engine
Where are you based and do you know/ help the Norfolk Tank Museum
Crack on job blokes! Grab a cup o tea before ye hands wear through then
Bateman is a cool dude.
Clever lad
lol the P95 mask for painting. just be careful of isocyanate paints boys
I think I missed something somewhere. Why is it called Diane Abbott?
What’s happening with the armoured Land Rover an the T34 mate
So cool. Guys
Was that a 2-stroke diesel like in the Chieftain or like Detroit Diesel?
Similar to the L60 in Chieftain
@@davedickinson822 Ahh thank you. Does it have the same or similar problems to the L60?

Why fix Dianne Abbot the silly cow should be put down - refering to the true Dianne Abbot pmsl - great video guys as usual.... 🤣😂🤣
It can't be diane abbot it would have 2 left tracks on it
It can't be diane abbot because ... Jeremy "Trots" Corbyn is not up it!
Well someone had to say it.
SLOOOW down with that zoom.....please
Dude ! Who are you ? how do you get this tanks?

Ted does not approve of all the bickering.
Why use red when kero is cheaper, it's a multi fuel after all 😄
I didn't know Jesus!
Refurbish tank with you!😂😂😂😂
😎👍
Here's me wondering where the leak is coming from my Corsa.
I notice the British are much, much slimmer than their cousins across the pond.
Прохання, не доламайте.
I’m guessing Diane Abbot is the name of this tank ??
Tube stack leak ……….. close off the tube…………
Love your work but the random zooming is nauseating
The Joker maybe...Not Batman no beard see.
Oh to be the apprentoid, berrated from all sides
Why on Earth was he wearing a mask to brush paint? Solvents pass straight through filters
wozu das ganze hobby
