Hi Joe. My job when it was time to take the pack out as a driver was to disconnect the engine coupling bolts to the gearbox (twi flex coupling) and it is so much easier to undo from the access plate underneath the Chieftain than from the top of the vehicle, try it when you put the engine back in!

"Carefulcarefulcareful" "Make sure it doesn't fall off" "Let's get it so it's safe" "Quite a valuable piece" "Bye. Fucking scrap!" Am I seeing a smiley face on the radiator at 4:35 Lunch is at noon, tea is something you drink, and dinner/supper is at the end of the day.

From wikipedia italy: "The engine is a horizontally opposed piston diesel, derived from the Junkers Jumo 205 aircraft engine from the Second World War. Thanks to the cylinders with opposed pistons, it is an engine that takes up little space. But like other two-stroke diesels, it has long been unreliable, and the initially planned output of 750 hp was limited to 650 HP" Really? (the first version)

I am probably going to get some heavy repercussions for saying this, and I will not be responding to hate before anyone tries, so bear this in mind… I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this channel and it's content… I cannot state that enough!… You guys work super hard, and it is an absolute privilege to see into the finer details of the greatest machines in the world that we as Civvies NEVER get the chance to see. Not only this, but the knowledge that comes with it is beyond incredible. I just have one small complaint, and that is the amount of offensive language and “P--n Hub” branded clothing some of you wear. I get life as a working Briton in these kinds of environments has its quirks, and you do have the rights to say and wear whatever you wish… I have no argument there as it is your choice… but I just think it may be a better experience for us to maybe be more self-aware of these. If you are doing this as a purpose to show professionalism and encourage learning by sharing all the skills and knowledge you have acquired in this particular line of work, then it needs to be presented more respectfully. It is possible that children are a huge presence here and particularly those who are extremely enthusiastic about Tanks, Military Vehicles, Engineering, Workshops, etc etc… so this is more of a reason than any to just be more mindful. If it is age restricted, then parents may allow their children to watch this as a method to satisfy their interests further, so again it is important to uphold a level of professionalism. Please don't hate, as this is only advice and input from a newly following subscriber. It is not meant to harm or cause trouble for anyone at all. To you, Family, Friends, and all the crew @Mr Hewes… Stay Safe!… Stay Well!… Stay Positive! Stewart.
