I do like the information of all the little details; It can get a little blah, blah, blah at times, but I'm learning a lot; More than I did when I was a tank driver in the Army.

8:10 Being harder to climb up on is really a disadvantage when you're trying to climb up to your own, open topped turret. When the enemy infantry is trying to get up there, it might be a bit of an advantage. However, this is an open-field gun, rolling with the heavy armor. (I.E. not a good Urban Assault Gun for obvious reasons: Buildings, with roofs, and possibly upper floors.)

Thanks for the Video, I love watching the series.

The engines were lc and la for clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation of the crankshaft. The 71 series engines could be produced In either variant by changing the cam, starter p, oil pump and if i am not mistaken the crank and supercharger blower but all other part# were the same (block, pistons, heads, etc). If you have two crankshafts outputting to gears engaging with a common flywheel, they need to have opposite rotations.

They had a lot full of foreign tanks they used for study like penetration testing and identification for tankers Then they used them for targets. I've sat on and in some amazing vehicles. Fun story- he hauled a Mercury space capsule from Johnson Space Center to a museum that was being built It stayed in his warehouse for a year and I played in that thing the whole time. Very cool childhood being around all the military people, vehicles and gear. Thanks for the channel tip. If you can get to Benning you gotta see the 28. Its amazing.

Reference the engines labelled LC & LA. C is for clockwise & A is for anticlockwise, as they were contra-rotating & thus would have mirror image cams & other parts that weren't interchangeable.

@14.12 You have two engines and certain parts wear differently inside an engine. Therefore they're not identical. For example, if you had to strip the heads down on both motors, you'd need to know which push rods came from which motor and from which cylinder. They'd have the left or right motor marked on them for that reason and you'd lay them out so and even push them in a line through a bit of cardboard so you'd know which cylinder they came from. It's a bit like a self loading rifle, you can't just put another breech block in it because every rifle breech block wears in differently, even where the rifles are all the same model so if you need to replace one you have to machine it first. Similarly you can't just put the push rods (and other bits) in a motor back in any old order you like or you could end up with a real mess on your hands.

Not a TANK, goofy. It never was a tank.

Bloody late comment but never mind. My father was a heavy diesel mechanic for decades. Apparently, the old 2-stroke Detroit diesels (GM’s diesel division until about the late 90s) that he used to work on and drive were capable of running both clockwise and counterclockwise and parts had to be ordered accordingly. I suspect that it’s entirely likely that one engine ran one direction and the other the opposite, either both crankshaft spinning towards the center or both spinning outboard. For. Reasons. Just a thought.

The M36 Jackson/Slugger would be cool to see.

In one of the best war comedy movies, Kelly's Heroes, there is a character 'Little Joe'. There was also 'Big Joe'. Was 'Little Joe' a reference to the tank wrench?

Will there be a part 2 soon? I need my fix! =D

If you head over to bus greasemonkey .. these engines GMC diesel engines were used on the greyhound silver side busses of the era.. sturdy and reliable.. and super simple to repair.

Hi. Would mechanics do the maintenance he talked about or would the crew be expected to handle it?

If I remember correctly on the inline Gm diesel engines( aka Detroit Diesel) .the LC and LA codes designate their arrangement and rotation. The "L" means left hand rotation, and the A and C has to do with what side the intake and exhaust systems are located.(among other things) The Gm 2 strokes were very well designed and versatile and had a long and fruitful existence., and millions are still in use around the world today. But D.D. is now owned by Daimler Benz. Most parts do exchange between the different orientations in the same series and were every bit as universal and exchangeable as the famous small block was, but because of the numerous orientations, some parts end up being mirror images of each other thus are not interchangeable. In a side by side tandem drive situation like this you would normally have the blower and the exhaust on the the outboard side allowing for a closer pairing of the 2 engines.

I wonder if the vehicle markings (mix of US Army style on a British vehicle) reflects sometime in the past this vehicle was repaired, recovered or otherwise separated from its original unit and got reprocessed or in some postwar era, someone tried to paint it a war time look and didn't realized that it was a convert.

Where is T55A part 2? Has it been posted yet or am I missing something? thx

wow i didnt know the left engine of the achiles had a 17pdr gun :P

if you look at the heads on the engine both manifolds are on the inside which means the left engine rotated the opposite direction of the right at least that's what my grandpa said who was a crew member on one

hence the lc and la engine designations

At 14:10 into the video he expresses confusion as to why the two engines were labelled LC and LA. Looking at the handed nature of the pair I would have thought that C stands for Clockwise and A for Anticlockwise, meaning that the engines rotate in opposite directions. Many of the engine parts would have to be different because of this. Just a thought...

Bloody hell was that superman spinning that turret haha!

I don't know what that is at 3:18, but it had me convinced someone was knocking on my door at 4am...

Achilles is a great name really. I mean it had a great gun but a fatal weakness in the the thin armor and open top.

I bet a good crew would have the driver help the gunner turn the turret by turning the vehicle and also keeping the glasius to the front.

Tank Corps/1223rd S.P.A.R. Artillery Regiment. Equip with the 76mm M7 gun and a 12.7mm Browning HMG. "see Allied tanks of WWII- By David Porter". Interesting historical note is that Audie Murphy was issued the Medal of Honor for Battle of Colmar Pocket, in a burning Wolverine. Using the 12.7 Mg to rip apart the advancing German infantry, halting there advance.

That engine config is crazy, two diesel engines smacked together with a common crank output. Looking at it I thought he must be wrong and it must be a V-12 since you can see the valve train in two rows of 6, but upon looking it up it actually does have two vertical I-6s. Another weird thing is the lack of a valve cover. You usually do not see all the valve work for an engine sitting on top, unprotected like that.

Isnt "Little Joe" also what they call the auxiliary generator motor? Thats confusing. And didn't all armor in Normandy get at least one white star in a circle painted on the turret roof as an aerial recognition symbol to help Allied fighter bombers from mistaking them for panzers? The M10 has no roof, which might explain the star on the sides. Or maybe they just screwed it up. All I know is that I built a model M4 Medium years ago, and it had British markings and a star on the roof. I am pretty sure I put the decals on per the instructions, and I seem to recall reading that explanation at the time. It wasnt just an American marking, it was the easiest, most visible Allied marking they could think of. EDit: From Wiki: *Allied star* A five-pointed star, painted white, was used to identify Allied vehicles from 1944. British tanks rarely had stars on the front or sides, normally just one on the rear of the turret. AFVs often carried stars on the sides and rear. Softskins normally carried stars on their sides. The star was normally 8-12in and was stencilled with a point upwards. So stars isnt always American markings, although it may be in this case. I thought the circle was the main difference.
