Any Wednesday has gotta be better when the Aussie tank museum posts a new video 😊
One of the highest points of my week!
I am planning a trip there after the wet season. Can't wait!
An American Tank Destroyer, with a Russian engine, at an Australian Museum, being worked on and maintained by a car mechanic turned tank mechanic. Does not get better than this. AMAZINGLY GREAT STUFF!!! Totally appreciate you all for keeping history alive. Thanks for sharing!!!
its amazing how steve has transferred from sedans to tanks, great tradesman
Eh, not that amazing, a tank is merely a quirky sedan which makes things go kaboom. 😉
That was the fastest 20 minutes of my day! Welcome Steve and great show with clear explanations. The reward for the "grease and oil change" a test run of the tank -awesome. Fantastic production again Kurt!👍👍👍
"That was the fastest 20 minutes of my day!" funny that, my wife said the same thing to me a little earlier on. And by 20 she meant 2.
Whatever Steve costs is money well and truly spent.
A great job on the Jackson, seems you have picked up a Great mechanic, good luck with the Cyclone, hope all the staff and their families stay safe and unaffected as well as the Museum.
Across the planet and still up in Tennessee USA to get the sneak peak for normal folks……love you guys! Steve is a jewel mate!
Amazing to see the evolution of my job I did in the Army for 26 years as a Tank Destroyer MOS 11H, the skills I was taught in 1983 were developed from lessons learned in WWII. We’re not considered tankers but Infantrymen trained on various anti-armor weapons wear our purpose is to halt enemy armor and defend the Infantry. We’re assigned other tasks such as route security, flank security, anti-armor ambushes and in light Infantry units we’re often used as organic scouts to determine terrain and/or enemy activities to aid the Commander in his decision process. Often folks consider Anti-Armor vehicles as just another tank whereas we provide an additional layer of abilities and defense. We can be used in an offensive role but we’re more vulnerable than conventional tanks and other armored vehicles so we rely more on indirect fire support and close air support to aid us as we move forward in small increments.
Thank you for taking time to preserve a piece of our heritage, I’m sure my Australian counterparts there are equally thankful.
Kurt, dear oh dear, you had one job and you missed it.😂 another great vid, steve sure knows his stuff and speaks to camera very well.
Steve knows his stuff, he's a great new fit for the crew, and he's got a great sense of humor about him. Hell yeah. 👍👍👍
Just what you need to fit that oil pump…. A guy who has changed spark plugs on a Subaru Boxer engine !! Great bloke that Steve.
Now Steve is a Diamond fit to the AUS Armour team.. Great tech !! Again,well done Kurt ...
Nice to see another vehicle back on track!
The smile on Steve's face during the test drive says it all!! Great addition to the team. Please stay safe.
Thanks for the video - very interesting! Steve is terrific at digging into issues and fixing them up. Great wealth of experience and hands on ability. Have a great week! 😀
Fantastic stuff again. Makes me wonder doubt my job choices.😢
Every time I open my youtube on Wednesday I go " Yeee, Workshop Wednesday!!!".
The M36 is easily becoming one of my favorite armored vehicles as of late, thanks for the great video!!
Stay safe while Jasper hits. All bunkered down here in ingham/ cardwell.
When the Cyclone hits, it probably will do MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of Dollars worth of improvements to North Queensland.
Great to see how it works in real life. I spent about 500 hours building a 1/35 model and mannaged to garner a couple of awards. The amazing thing was back in the 50s hot rodders were dropping the GAAs and GAHs into hot rods and in some cases were getting 2000hp. out of them albeit not for long. Awesome video, thanks much!
Steve would be an asset to any mechanic shop.
Good luck to you all during ht Cyclone, and to the tanks and equipment etc at the Museum.
Loved this episode! Great work Kurt, even greater work...Steve 🛠🛠
Yeah ...
For those of us who have rebuilt engines on cars we've also done some customization on ... there is real appreciation for what these guys have done.
It's one of those things - where people who see this vehicle at a Military Vehicles Fest - are just not going to ever know what went into some of the details of getting this thing to run.
Good On Ya Mate.
.
in my ten years in Armor, the safety rules are 1) always three points of contact with the vehicle when on top, 2) never get on or in the tank without head protection, 3) when backing always use 2 ground guides. this has saved a lot of injuries. Consider demonstrating a more safe posture.
That was a brilliant ride into the world of getting grease up to your elbows from Kurt . I dont think any of the exhibits will blow away in the Cyclone
Seems like Cairns missed the worst of it.
Zdravím z České republiky je to nádhera ❤❤❤😊
That man is a treasure,as smart and good at his work as can be
But, will it float?
I figured there was good reason to build all the serious museum sheds on gigantic mounds above "storm-surge" height.
Don't forget to check the seals on the DUKW, Schwimmwagen, "Seep", LVt-4, etc. They might come in handy in the next few days.
Thanks Steve & Kurt, another fantastic Workshop Wednesday, I know I say it each week, But I wait a week for these minutes of pure joy. Cheers, Yes, I love Workshop Wednesday.
M36 is still a handsome AFV in my eyes after i learned of it in the early 1970s.
What a great addition to the team, Steve really seems to be knowledgeable in a multitude of disciplines and a real problem solver….good on him and the museum !! Keep up the great work guys . Always look forward to Workshop Wednesday
Great show! The Sherman in a town close by had the driver's door by the star in front.
Incredible job Steve & Glen
From Subies to WWII TDs wth Soviet cold war era engines 😮 Steve is a top shelf addition to the team 👍 Looking forward to more WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY with Steve and the rest of AusArmour crew 🫡
Another great report Kurt. Steve is informative, I like his presentation style
It is a genuine pleasure to watch someone doing something for a living which they thoroughly enjoy. I wish my work made me smile like that.
Great work Steve. Please stay safe everyone up there 👍🏻🇦🇺
Fascinating video. Steve's knowledge, skill, and "can do" attitude are truly remarkable. He seems to intuit what is required--no matter the complexity of the problem--and possesses the expertise to bring it to fruition. Well done!
I see that Steve got his baptism of oil at the shop. He is one of you guys now. 😊 👍
Great job Steve! Boy, Janet can run, not bad for a “twenty a day” smoker!
That was beautiful. I really enjoyed watching.
Great job, Steve is a good addition to the team, he speaks well and explains clearly what he is fixing.
Thanks Mr. K Fromozamor for bringing us this content. Much appreciated.
Nice ride! Steve looked like he was having a "does it get any better than this" moment when test drove it. Steve is a great add to the Aus Armour team and seems to have the same "can do" Antipodean ethos as the as the rest of the crew. Kudos Aus Armour
Steve works in another dimension than us mere mortals. Great video.
LOve it when he fires up the torch and blazex away with the big blue flame! "It is aluminium so I won't get it too hot" HA!
Hi guys,
You are absolutely great to get this WW2 army vehicle running again. This M36 tank destroyer first served in combat in Europe in October 1944. The vehicle is also known under the unofficial nickname Jackson The vehicle was a replacement of the M10 tank destroyer. Hope you guys will be able to conserve this tank for your army museum in Australia. Look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands
Named after the great Stonewall Jackson btw Who was the greatest officer of his day by a wide margin. Guy was a legend
@@pilsplease7561 not sure but I think it was James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart
Thanks, guys!
Nice video Kurt. This is about being a real mechanic, stripping, investigating, repairing and refitting. Most of the industry now just has fitters, throw the old part and fit a new one. That's a beautiful old engine, I'm impressed with all the pre-oiling system, the massive air filtration system and 38.8 litres of grunt probably makes it a bit of a rocket-ship as the original Jacksons certainly didn't have as much power and torque as this one.
That country tune at around 15:30 was very fitting to the final assembly scene. 👍
What a great job .... thanks again Kurt and team, making Wednesday mornings so much better.
Great Job Steve, well done!
Seems like another dream hire. Meticulous work and an awesome reward to get to drive it. The L plate and straw hat were great. And he could not keep the grin under control at all.
well done , now batten down and stay safe from the cyclone
As always is the case thank you for posting yet another excellent video!
I love the "L" Learner Plate on the back of the Jackson :)
Awesome video except for not getting the money shot. And good to see Beau make a cameo appearance. 😂
If a TD could be happy, it would look like this. Well done Steve.
"I love it when a plan comes together." John "Hannibal" Smith. The A Team. 1983 - 1987
I want to coin the frase from a brilliant man of his day. An American industrialist whose talent for engineering, as well as business, is why we are where we are today.
"Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success." Henry Ford 1863 - 1947
That is what I see when I look at all the guys from The Australian Armour and Artillery Museum.
A group of men each with their own special skills working together as a team. Overcoming each and every obstacle that comes their way.
I love Workshop Wednesdays. David "Digger" Gardner 1961 - a date to be fixed
Great job guys! Love your total dedication to your job. Workshop Wednesdays are a highlight of my week. You guys rock!!!😊
Hello from Virginia,USA. Watching a great WSW video is my mid week pick me up. Steve and the guys made the M-36 roar into life. Then the great test drive!!!!
8:03 priceless smile of a well done job. Btw good morning from Brazil
Although I live in the same Country, this museum is over 3,000Km away, and as an OAP I am unlikely to get there, so I get much enjoyment from this Channel's vids. Thanks, Guys, from rural South Australia !
Steve is a great addition. Brilliant!
This is why I like Wednesday !.
Wonderful vehicle and marvelous effort by Steve and the team! Got my tank fix for the week; thanks, boys!
Steve....another treasure for OzArmour!
One of your best, wonderfully recorded and edited. Steve is a delight! Highlight of my week! (Visited last year..happy memories)
I always look forward to your videos, which are very well done, and the work you guys do - Jesse, Darryl and others at the museum is amazing. Thank you and keep 'em coming!
Great job yet again 👏 👍
Great teamwork sourcing and modifications to get the job done guys!
Great to watch these experts breath new life into these historic vehicles - Cheers guys.
LOVE the final shot with the M36 on the wash rack. Always an essential part of operation. Thanks!!
😂😂 that’s what we like 👍 to see the tank at speed ❤❤❤
That was an awesome video, really have enjoyed the production quality increases over the last couple of years.
Great work guys! Absolutely love the indepth look we get into these tanks and tank destroyers. Hilarious how you put a learners sticker on. Can I please come up and drive some of these glorious machines?
Cyclone = Free Tank washing?? I really enjoyed seeing the Jackson, it might be a great one for a ride. Stay safe, ❤ from the States.
Crikey what a talented guy.
It's a bold move to wear a shirt that color and to do that sort of work. The man has confidence!
Great job Steve, you did an excellent job 👍 👏
Been watching your videos now for about a year. Keep them coming. Cannot wait until next Wednesday.
@18:47 Next time on Oz Armor, the M-36 Jacksonski gets a ring and valve job!
Great job! Still would like to see the M36 with a GAA Ford or a twin Detroit set up.
Good job Steve. Boy o boy that 12 cyclinder sounds awesomecSteve. Nice drills
Always liked the jackson bit of a quick fix for some added fire power,great job guys love the updates cheers for Christmas and the new year.
. As someone who’s day job was rebuilding and restoring just the same low voltage DC motors as seen here , except it was usually saltwater that they had soaked in , you would be amazed what a days cleaning and refurbishing a can achieve .After cleaning up that armature you could almost guarantee it would be fine , re- tape the fields , new bearings , clean up the brushes .And it all makes work for the working man to do .👍
Kurt I'm learning with you and it's a blast I think it'd still be fun for Jason to tell us about this tank and the original engine it came out with my understanding so far is it was a beast and fast too but it looked to me like the soviet engine in it is doing a fine job speed wise.
The clouds of diesel smoke are awesome!
Excellent narration and video work of a master mechanic.
I hope everyone is all right after Jasper and i hope the SES and other first responders are helping everyone in the affected areas.🙏🙏🦘🦘👌👌👍👍
Good job Steve. 👌
Janet looks stunning. Nice work.
Yet another awesome wed treat, hope jasper does not cause you too much hassle, and fingers crossed for the folks round Cairns
Always informative and enjoyable and always over too soon.
Excellent! And I really like how reliable a Workshop Wednesday is.
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!
Another great video. You guys are awesome. 😊
What a job to have!
Awesome show! 😃👍🏻👍🏻
