I'm no expert on winching but I have done a fair bit and I've always found that not snapping the cable is better than snapping it. Hope this helps in the future 👍
Your channel is one of the few of the many that I'm subbed to that I could honestly watch indefinately. Your passion and knowledge really shine through and I don't think there's anything you do that isn't really interesting to watch. There's the big YT recovery titan channels like Diesel Brothers and Matt's Off Road Recovery etc, but they all get boring and very repetitive. You don't ever seem to!
8 ton 18 hundered weight, that was how heavy an unloaded Stalwart, without a crane was as far as I can remember. Close to thirteen tons fully loaded with a full petrol tank. Nice video guys, you are really great problem solvers, keep up the good work. 🤠👍
Like the man said, the Stolly like the Saladin/Saracen was designed to run with two wheels on each side. Mind you, whether you could get that mid-LHS wheel off and put it on the rear RHS is another matter. There are some You Tube videos of Saladin running on four wheels.
invest in a 'snatch block' guys and double the winch power. it is slower but by gum do she drag you may start pulling unit to stricken but it is safer, also a winch bag over the cable helps to stay alive as well.😊
Love watching this channel. I think you should fully restore the stolly and perhaps fit a commercial diesel if you are going to use it as a works wagon.
Hello ChicagoAussie! Larry from Chicago, so neat to see you on this channel! I like your videos on Chicago, I lived here for 62 years and there's always some thing new to learn. You stop making video's, Did you move out side Chgo? What ever the case hope you and your family are well. God Bless! 😃
@@MrHewesI was going to say,snatch block /pulley would have been nice,but the final images just before leaving,there was at least one in place,far too late. So. You guys are expert at so much,you left your expert zone behind and snapped a cable and bent the tailgate. So. There are rigging courses available. And maybe some wood timbers underneath the frame rail ? Real nice HIAB truck. Now you need to acquire the expertise to go with it. Astronaut Gus Grissom had a pet phrase. Maintain an even strain. Applies here I think. You guys had a cup of tea instead. All the best from 1/3 of the way around the world.
Hope your up to date with your tetnus jabs with all that rust, I feel that I could get tetnus just by looking at it. Also, on a serious note I believe respect is earnt and often I see you guys as soldiers taking on a challenge when it seems all is lost, I respect you and well done
First I blame jack for the tailgate so a slap needed there 😅. Need one of those blocks that double doubled you pull on the winch like crane s have but you did it 😊
fancy not removing the tail gate - numpties !! hehe surly, and stop calling me Shirly, if all else fails, use a nice railway sleeper, if you have one in ya back pocket (or an entire tree if felt necessary) stick on the ramp, lift bum onto it and drag baby - all were lucky on the winch cable letting go, not saying nuffink guv like others have suggested, i wondered about swapping mid station on the port side to starboard rear as always, love the content, ya all doing a grand job
A very well made production. Good sound and camera work ( no wobel vision ) and the musical interlude was excellent, alonge with your very pithy narration. Fun to watch, many thanks and look forward to the next one. .
IF you should have a go at getting it going?! *IF*?! I want to learn new impressive ways to confuse and insult creation itself through hearing what Jack has to say while wrenching on the damn thing :D
Every now and again, one does not think straight. Lifting the Solly with the hiiab was one of those moments. And the tail is bent. Aahh. Well done on finally getting it on the bed.
As someone who regularly drives our work tipper, I completely sympathise with Mark’s desire to avoid a ticket for dropping rubbish i.e., rusty remnants of a Stalwart cargo deck, onto the public highway😁. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.
I have been watching your videos for about six months or so and am subscribed to your channel, i enjoy the way you attack the problems you face when bringing those older machines back to life. I also like the fact that you and your mates work hard ,unlike some of the younger generation that you are a part of. I also understand the lack of PARTS. Try finding parts for a ww2 B-25 bomber. I dont think your weather helps either, it seems to be wet A LOT. Here in Texas not so much. Keep up the good work. Mark
well I have realised that you all love a challenge - so defo getting that engine to run! Also, it might be the camera angle, but getting the recovery truck past that telegraph pole so effortlessly - wow!
Great content as always, I really enjoyed the random cow in the background, you could have roped maybe twenty more of these up, then let them seamlessly towed the truck onto the trailer lads!....easy!😃
there is a special tool used to half the load on your winch cable. it is called a snatch block it looks very similar to the one you found in 10:18 always here to help... keep it up boys + girls
I've a 24"x16" heavy box section frame (dolly) with two heavy duty fixed and two swivelling castor wheels. Unbelievably useful for decades when moving heavy lumps that don't want to move. If you'd something like that under the rear corner on the truck bed the winch would have coped ok BTW buy a lotto ticket after that cable didn't sever anything and maybe consider a framed piece of expanded sheet metal!
Hi Joseph, Well that was a tuff process to get the load this Alvis Stalwart FV620 on the Scania truck. When you’ll manage to get the engine properly running I think I have to recommend you to take the engine out of this Stolly and store the engine. Also all the other usable parts of this Stolly better can be dismantled and stored so you’ve a lot of spare parts for the first one you’ve collected and restore the fist one completely. Keen to learn what you’re intending to do and I look forward to your next vlog plus send you love from the Netherlands
I have probably crossed the river Weser in Germany in that Stalwart. I have probably worked on, and might have flown in, that Jet Provost in your yard.
I think that starting the engine if possible this gives you a saleable unit if possible. Transmission might be more problematic but if wheels jacked clear of ground this could be proved so two saleable parts. The rest could be considered for shelving, spares or sale with the rust given terminal rest! Would this then leave you with one paid working Stolly? At that point amusement or sale for profit are the options.
Nah mate, looks like a jobbo for myb50 ton Talbert tilt bed and winch! However I have what I stated, you having the knuckle crane and a winch, should have lifted the wheel-less corner while witching on, use all the advantages you can. I love having machinery, I hate doing recoveries...
It's not a hiab!!! Looks like an hmf. Like calling a Dyson a hoover! Looked like a Foden job,you want a 3 axle drawbar trailer for it,last pice of the allrounder! Great vidkeep them coming.
I would like to see it run! Is it possible to remove the center suspension and wheel on the left and transfer it to the right side to move it a round the yard, would like to see that happen if possible. Tank you very much! :-D
No I don't think you need to bother starting it. Just let it rust away in the corner of a field. Not!!! Yes of course get it started! Would love to see them both looking mint if possible obviously!

It’s ok. Someone was wearing hi-vis. Must have been perfectly safe!
@@duggers999 there wasn't a man in a hi-vis, hard hat and carrying a clipboard though, so it doesn't count.
gems of advice like this is why I read the comments, always something you would never think of.

With that much rust, I thought it was an Alfa Romeo.
I still think an Alfa would have more ;)
@@L5GUK I was reliably informed in the 80s that Alfa invented rust and sold it to Fiat
If you sit quietly in an Alfa Romeo you can hear it rusting
Nah mate this passed into Lancia / Opel category
Nah, has to be an older Fiat. Too much scrap metal in the metal.
Got to be worth a go at getting it running even if it’s just see if the engine is good and gearbox works 👍
Like the man said, the Stolly like the Saladin/Saracen was designed to run with two wheels on each side. Mind you, whether you could get that mid-LHS wheel off and put it on the rear RHS is another matter. There are some You Tube videos of Saladin running on four wheels.
i was just thinking the same
Hi , externally engine looks pretty good for its age , love to see it run, please. Many thanks for the laughs. From Nr Chester
Yeah, looks shiny and mint.
I like Marks thinking bash holes in one side to let water in, bash holes in the other side to let water out. But who would have thunk it sunk.
He's lucky he still has a head given how close he was to that cable snapping.
It's great to see that you now do fence post removal as well.
invest in a 'snatch block' guys and double the winch power. it is slower but by gum do she drag you may start pulling unit to stricken but it is safer, also a winch bag over the cable helps to stay alive as well.😊
Outstanding recovery and problem solving as always... would've gone a lot smoother if you had Ted overseeing the task at hand 😁
Love watching this channel. I think you should fully restore the stolly and perhaps fit a commercial diesel if you are going to use it as a works wagon.
anyone shouting at the screen when they first tried to lift it and knowing they going bend the very rare rear gate
Me included!
Commentary was on point. I feel like the job can’t be finished if it hasn’t caught on fire at least once trying to start it
Hello ChicagoAussie! Larry from Chicago, so neat to see you on this channel! I like your videos on Chicago, I lived here for 62 years and there's always some thing new to learn. You stop making video's, Did you move out side Chgo? What ever the case hope you and your family are well. God Bless! 😃
Damn, that guy could've easily lost his head from that cable snap methinks. Gotta love your Cowboy Recoveries haha
It was actually a fair way off him but looked exciting on the camera

This is what happens when you forget to pack a Foden.
You young guys [ I'm 75 years old ] appear to be able to sole [ circumvent ] almost any issue or problem. GREAT enjoyable work fellas......
First I blame jack for the tailgate so a slap needed there 😅. Need one of those blocks that double doubled you pull on the winch like crane s have but you did it 😊
13:45 Tank stuff, this kind of stuff, it's all good stuff.👍
I like the cow standing beside the flat bed...thinks he's Ted.🤔
Always scares the crap out of me when those cables snap...glad no one got hurt. Can't wait to see some work on the T34.
Beautiful machine. Nice video. Thanks.
Great recovery job, Joe. Deffo needs to be tried to start. 👍🏻😊

You need a Baldrick on the job. A cunning plan was needed. 😂
When you panned around to the rear tailgate, my heart sank a bit seeing it bent like that
No bonus for Jack then…….wrecking the tailgate!
Gotta love all the captain hindsight comments
Voice over is spot on! OG Jeremy Clarkson vibes.. Just without the 50 cigarettes
Nice update and recovery
Jim
So , all in all went quite well then . No deaths recorded then 🤣
IF you should have a go at getting it going?! *IF*?!
I want to learn new impressive ways to confuse and insult creation itself through hearing what Jack has to say while wrenching on the damn thing :D
With that rust it looks like it could be useful for straining the potatoes when cooking the Sunday roast. :) You've got to try and get it going.

I think Mark missed his calling as a saloon pianist in a western 🤠.👍🏴
'The Entertainer' from 'The Sting movie' needs a video rendition with full costume attire and bottles being shot off the piano :)
If you can start the engine - which doesn't look too shabby - I reckon that might be just about viable for a restoration :-)

Well done. I enjoy your videos a lot. I always look forward to a new one.
Great technical recovery 👌, get her running 💨💨👍
Godt jobba gutter. Tusen takk for god underholdning. 👍🤗👍🇸🇯
i love stollies. you'll have to get this one sorted as well! good stuff, keep it up matt and the crew.
Fab job getting that Stollie onto the lorry!
well I have realised that you all love a challenge - so defo getting that engine to run! Also, it might be the camera angle, but getting the recovery truck past that telegraph pole so effortlessly - wow!
These make the ideal basis for a weekend camper. 😂
get them running!, I’d love to see them going again, love the channel
always nice to see Tay again
Another superb adventure !!! course you have to do a will it start video !
Shame about the tailgate. Who didn’t see that coming?
Good stuff. I quite enjoyed this video of retrieving the 2nd Stalwart. I would like to see yall try to get it going.
Great content as always, I really enjoyed the random cow in the background, you could have roped maybe twenty more of these
up, then let them seamlessly towed the truck onto the trailer lads!....easy!😃
Oh shit I cried out! Needs a wheel crutch! Oh yep you have to see if it will run, its the Hewes Law of Unloved Vehicles!
there is a special tool used to half the load on your winch cable.
it is called a snatch block
it looks very similar to the one you found in 10:18
always here to help... keep it up boys + girls
A Mr Hewes for breakfast, yes plez
Also ted still needs a pay raise
Cmon, I know he's Brittish but that doesn't mean you can eat him...
Very much like antiques old tanks, and have had their day!!! 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙂🙂🙂🙂
That’s fooked mate :o Emile’s Volvo bendy track was less rusty than this relic! Chop it :D
I didn’t know Scania’s had a military power mode 👌🏻
I've a 24"x16" heavy box section frame (dolly) with two heavy duty fixed and two swivelling castor wheels. Unbelievably useful for decades when moving heavy lumps that don't want to move. If you'd something like that under the rear corner on the truck bed the winch would have coped ok
BTW buy a lotto ticket after that cable didn't sever anything and maybe consider a framed piece of expanded sheet metal!
You need to get it running for sure, Jack can be so childish in the nicest possible way
Get them both going suggestions do something for the kids
Make a wish would be my suggestion Mr Hewes they were good to us
Definitely try and start it!
Yes, she MUST live again. Her life is in your hands - don’t let us down. So, no pressure… Cheers!
Superb👍
good on ya for recovering the 2nd stolli , both should be got running , a little Hammerite and good as new

I love the random cow surveying their progress :)
I have probably crossed the river Weser in Germany in that Stalwart. I have probably worked on, and might have flown in, that Jet Provost in your yard.
Been waiting for this ! Thank you.
Looking forward to the next one. That was close with the cable !
Very quick Ted interaction.
I think that starting the engine if possible this gives you a saleable unit if possible. Transmission might be more problematic but if wheels jacked clear of ground this could be proved so two saleable parts.

At that point amusement or sale for profit are the options.
Great video!!!
That was a sorry sight. Hope you give it a go. I would be Great to see if there is any life left in it!😊
I must admit, it has a nice patina!
Tonka trucks make perfect vehicle skates, you should invest in a couple.
Should have used the Foden, that would have picked it up no problem. 😅
Nah mate, looks like a jobbo for myb50 ton Talbert tilt bed and winch!
However I have what I stated, you having the knuckle crane and a winch, should have lifted the wheel-less corner while witching on, use all the advantages you can.
I love having machinery, I hate doing recoveries...
It's not a hiab!!! Looks like an hmf. Like calling a Dyson a hoover! Looked like a Foden job,you want a 3 axle drawbar trailer for it,last pice of the allrounder! Great vidkeep them coming.
They were determined to return themselves into the ground lol
Of course we want to see you try and get it going!
Definitely try and get it running would make a great vid!
Ar least the truck driver is going home with a head, that's got to be a win win 🙄
It’s okey he was wearing high viz
Bloody impressed that the strop held up while the cable didn't
Poor quality cable
Of course you gotta get it running 😍
You’re an animal Hewes. See me after class 😂
Yeah! ...got to run it ...well done. :)
Another great video though sad to see that tailgate get bent....
More piano accompaniment please for stolly videos. Perfect nostalgic tone.
seeeend iiit!!!! fire it up engine looks in good nick to be fair
Mk2 Stalwart weighs unladen 8 ton 18 cwt. Fully loaded 14 tons.
Definitely get it going. 👍
I would like to see it run! Is it possible to remove the center suspension and wheel on the left and transfer it to the right side to move it a round the yard, would like to see that happen if possible. Tank you very much! :-D
Get it started
Absolutely get it going!
Yep loved it thanks
I absolutely love your cynical voice overs.
No I don't think you need to bother starting it. Just let it rust away in the corner of a field. Not!!! Yes of course get it started! Would love to see them both looking mint if possible obviously!
Another great video! Looks like you all have fun no matter what.
When do we get to see Darth Wrecker completed??
Yes!!! Start that beast up!!!
