3:32 I used to make those exhaust flexi/bellows in the late 80,s! We knew they were for Chieftains. I always wondered where they were fitted! We used to make a lot of them!!!

I served in Berlin on these and was in the troop that designed the Berlin camouflage. Over the years carried out many of these. A brilliant machine to work and at times live on. Keep up the good work. .

8:14.., it was always the dinner lady.., breakfast dinner and tea.

Ted is the star of this show, without doubt!

Love the JCB identifying as a Foden 🤣

I’m an old man that just found your channel. I am amazed at the knowledge you folks have. I’ve worked for years to learn about semis and Diesel engines. You are leaps ahead of me at your age. Please be safe. Peace

18:30 the back and forth and jack actually getting pissy about it tickled me more than it should have 🤣

Breakfast, dinner, tea. Spot on. Supper if your Lucky too

This has to be the most entertaining video of 3 blokes taking an engine out I have ever seen

I bet a certain generation of REME squaddies had that pack lift down to a fine art!

8:30 I will have to agree with Jack. Also love the new Foden telehandler.

"Make sure it doesn't fall off" 😅😂

Breakfast, dinner, tea. Spot on

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!

Breakfast, dinner and tea. Lunch is for snobs 🤣

The way he looked in that JCB reminded me of Oddball lol

Pack lifts...oh happy days (not). Hated the first few on my 432 but in the end was doing them with an oppo in about 45 mins. Never ceased to amaze me the vehicle's ability to throw a pipe and drop all the oil into the bottom of the engine bay on a regular basis.

Video idea… could you give us a insight into the costs of these things? Like purchase cost, restoration then final value? Would be really interesting. 👍 loving the channel keep it up

Ah reminds me of the good old days in batus taking chally 2 packs out, only a bit easier as gearbox and engine come out as one. Can't beat a bit of Muff coupling action! Loving the banter.

i had a handful of them nice chunky connectors - they are pretty and sparkly and all that, like a Christmas tree decoration, but for servicing they are utter hopeless - some of the ones i had had been dropped, so the knurled collar was no longer round, i had to strip them, heat them, bash them best i could, polish them till they looked almost new and flogged 'em for a fortune to some foreign country - anyway great to see you boys playing so nicely together - Ted looks somewhat bemused

As a Mancunian, it's breakfast dinner tea, but as an ex pat Brit living in the us it's breakfast lunch and dinner. Smh

Taking of the M-type pump makes access to the twyflex easier.(1/4 UNF bolts if memory serves) Also to speed things up we used to have someone underneath undoing a bolt and another on top undoing a bolt.

I'm convinced that you blokes are the shit! No job is too big when it comes to AFV's.

Breakfast, dinner, tea and supper

I love the sound of those engines

BREAKFAST-DINNER-TEA...

"Get it to where it's safe...then you throw it off the back of the tank.😅😅. That was funny.

You guys need tank hub beenies with Tankers on the other side lol Breakfast Dinner Tea Supper lol

You guys cheer my day up!! brilliant videos and superb banter!!

This is the Bloke That has been turning rolls. Royce Tank engines stripping them down when they brand new. Engine And he has done that Three of the suns tank engine engines. Veteran Royal

What do you have to eat on Xmas day? Argument closed 😂

Jeez! The clouds of exhaust smoke drifting across the land in the distance @ 1:50

that intro is the perfect tell me you dont have a girlfreind without telling me moment 🤣

Thought I was listening to Monty Python discussing lunch and dinner.

L60 Pack lift. Brings back memories.

Got so used to lifting the pack on my CR1, in the end me and the REME could get it out in around 40 mins....never did find what was wrong with it (over the course of a year) i moved onto recce.

Youw can always tell a brummie, but youw can never tell, him muuch 😂

splendid video chap

Breakfast, Dinner, Tea. Anyone saying otherwise needs conversion therapy

This brings back a few memories, lifted many a pack and Gearbox as part of 5 Armd Wksp FRG and then as a member of a couple of LAD's. We used to take the M-Type pump (8 bolts If I remember) off the engine made it easier to do the twiflex coupling was being disconnected from the top. Generally, though the driver was sent underneath.

Sounds magnificent when that tank fires up 👍

I like how Jack got the "Special" Intro & graphics this time.

love this kind of vides, Your passion and knowledge for tanks are just amazing, Keep it up

Just want to apologise I’ve been watching your content for a few weeks and wasn’t even subbed, I’ve rectified ❤❤

Interested to know where you chaps got your knowledge from. You certainly know your stuff. Quill shafts and hiw to pull them are deffo insider information 😉

I've just realised rewatching this that Seb reminds me of Paddy from Emmerdale for some reason lol.

Breakfast, dinner and tea

Greta video, i liked the time lapse of you working, makes sense to have little tripods so you can all get involved and not hold phones. Some of the audio if a bit hard to hear, maybe worth investing in a little shotgun mic for the camera.

Not a Chieftain but it still brings back memories of changing a 432 pack in BATUS

Hello chaps,saying hello from good ole usa!!!just been bing watching ur tank repairs and antics after tripping onto ur site.love this stuff i was an 88 recovery tanker 81 to 87 in us army.we threw a track once after splashing snapping turtles out of there swamp hole.what a royal ass pain fixing that was,anyway wanted to ask have you ever worked on a sherman at all or want too.being they are radial like an airplane would that be beyond ur expertice or do you wish too have that chance.no i dont have one handy mind you.but if i did you fellas can have a go around.snooky pa.💥🤪😜🖐👍💥

Breakfast. Dinner. Tea. BARM CAKE!

Said it before. Always a laugh and always a mechanical education (of sorts!). Nice one!. 🤣 Nuff said!. 🙂

Ex Brummie here watching in Thailand. Keep up the good work mocking their ridiculous accent!

Good video. Very interesting and funny. We need more Jack and Ted.

I was in the US Army's Berlin Brigade and many a time I came around the corner to see a chieftain parked in the middle of the road.

Excellent vid !!!!

Fuck im laughing so hard please don’t stop swearing Jack. Also never cut out this hilarious banter. You are so OG and that’s what I once loved so much about YT just join someone doing his thing not this scripted softwashed family friendly shit. Anyways really appreciate your work keep it up.

A L60 in its natural habitat, taken out of a Chieftain for work.

another great video - love the editting

I like how its like you guys are a bunch of kids working on a tank.

I’m jealous of jacks hat. Does he do only-tanks?

Breakfast - Dinner - Tea 👌

Just comedy gold

man I love the Chieftain tanks

Fuucckinnnn ehhl mate, y’all forgot brunch, secondies, and supper.

OK so without you guys Arguing about whether luch comes before dinner ( sorry but I follow Jack on that matter !! ) .. How long ( on a good day) would it take to pull out an engine and gearbox out of that old beast ?

Im gonna be honest , I didn’t know you Europeans got down like this 🤘🏼🤘🏼 I live in Alaska , US and this doesn’t look to much different then what goes down in my town … badass videos man

You should really have many more subs.

Top content again boys 😎❤️👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 and Yorkshire tea bags

just found your channel recently and it looks like a fun place to work, i work on cranes in Australia and I like tanks so it's cool to see

Do K&N do an after market air filter for a Chieftain? 😁

Cool video, really liked the edit. Keep it up!

I need a 50 cal on my mantlepiece. Love that he is live watching the tutorial on how to start his own Chieftain... filmed in his own Chieftain. Can't get over that look you're giving the camera at 2:44. At least you've got another Foden for the collection. "Easy easy!" "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. Wow, even cleaned your own tank engine rather than getting another KZfaqr in! My father can do a great Rhodesian impression for impersonating Ian Smith. "Some absolute infidel-" crusade time against fitters of badly fitted shims and washers?

Back in the day, before COSHH, Elf etc and PPE and all that, you’d be working sans gloves and shit and be able to grip stuff.

Remove the M type pump, makes the clutch bolts much easier,,,,,

Its lunch, not dinner.... 🤣

Videos get better everytime

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)

Il stick to welding rotten vehicles and leave the big mechanical work to yourselves lol don’t think my 2 ton engine hoist would lift said engines nor even reach over a tank haha love the videos MR Hewes, on a positive note if you ever need any rotten vehicles welding/ restoring I’m in North Yorkshire !

A young T. Rex fan?Nice.

Just a quick question. What sort of stuff is it that you use to foam up and degrease engines ect. It looks like it does a good job!

No dinner is around 6 /8pm and lunch is around 12/2pm get it right lad 😂

BEST COFFEE TABLE EVER!!!!

nice beanie bro 15:42

I see the V bellows on the roots blower is missing. A pig to fit.

Straight piped Fastrack sounded great.was it in the Archers xmas run?

Whatever happened to second breakfast ?

hi there, what make of engine is it ? i know we had rolls royce in the centurion tanks back in 1967 when we went to Lulworth gunnery school and loads of series 2a land-rovers

That air cleaner, is that one of those that has those swirly/spinney/centrifugal dodads that spin the crap out before it enters the donk?

You boys should be teaching the mod how to do it properly😉

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.
