Moving this beast is a HUGE task! Curator Rob Cogan explains the history of the last T28 and the planned process for replacing the outboard set of tracks and how the team will get her moved into the next facility for display.

Didn’t they say they just don’t have the engine in it right now? I hope that implies they’re working on the engine to bring it back to working order, but I could be wrong... plus that would imply a transmission restoration, and I’m sure that wouldn’t be easy.

@alexsis1778 3 жыл бұрын

@@noahdavis3236 Honestly its the transmission on a tank that heavy which is the primary concern because it would be essentially unique and have to withstand a tremendous amount of weight and force. The engine itself is far more standardized. Its the same model that was used in all the Pershing variants (M26, M26A1, M45) of which there were literally thousands of examples made. So parts and other examples aren't completely impossible to obtain.

@noahdavis3236 3 жыл бұрын

@@CC-ks3tj You're not far off... The Maus' weight, during test driving, not only crushed the cobblestone roads but also the underlying infrastructure like pipework - Despite the tracks measuring ⅔ of the tanks entire width! Since bridges were obviously a big no no, the designer made use of the designs electric drive-based nature ( I believe, a submarine diesel driving a generator driving two electrical motors ) and would have had two Maus work in tandem to cross a river by having them dive under the water like a submarine with the one remaining on land providing power to the one in the water via an umbilical cable. With the diving one having reached the other side the roles would have been reversed so the second Maus could follow. German tanks, like the Leopard 2, apparently still have this feature via a snorkel attached to the commander's hatch allowing both the crew and engine to breathe while the tanks dive up to like 4m deep.

This is incredible. I'm "speechless. I kind of suspect Sofie interested in the whole restoration while constantly keeping everything that is possible to watch publicly on KZfaq (because having friends inside the Fort) could be the reason for speeding up the process. Simply because the case with the whole new interest in tanks (in the last few years) is definitely the value for the military officials and people on the top positions. I'm sure the thing went like: "- Hey, we have big publicity, a lot of people interested in restoration and overall tank technology and its historical aspect, we could benefit from it if we would move some money into those precious pieces at Fort Benning. - Any evidence? - Check out this girl, Sofilein. She has a KZfaq channel. Now check out her stats, thousands of views. I mean, this is value on its own. - Okay, looks good. Let's roll it. Please remind me about it before we start figuring out the next year's budget."

Yeah but the Russian 152 was a Howitzer not really much of a Tank Gun

Actually D-25T had better armour penetration with APHEBC round and had more powerful HE round, so I don't get what he is talking about...

Great video!! AWESOME tank!! Was stationed at Fort Knox, KY, from 1983-1985 _19th Engineer Battalion/194th Armored Brigade) and remember seeing this beast on display at Keyes Park - adjacent to the The Patton Museum. Remember all the armored vehicles on static display there and would spend hours during the weekends (and clean-up details) just crawling all over those vehicles. Too bad the vehicles have been moved, but understand. Keyes Park, Fort Knox, and The Patton Museum just are not the same without these vehicles.

I learned a lot about the track which was very interesting. As a former tanker who spent way too much time repairing, replacing and maintaining tank tracks, I wondered how they worked on the tracks of the T28's double track set up. In some field environments, track maintenance was something you did everyday. Something always needed tightening - end connectors were bad about popping off no matter how often you torqued on those damn things. Road wheels always needed tightening and inspections for missing rubber chunks. It was endless. So learning about this was great. But not as great as hearing Sofi's little laugh at the very end of the video. I know she's said it before, she'd rather be behind the cameras than in front, but I'd be willing to bet Sofi's fans would agree - Sofi's videos need more Sofi.
