What a fantastic video. I’ve never seen a T34 stripdown. I can’t image how difficult it must gave been for crews and repair teams to fix these things in the field. The thought of changing that engine in the depths of winter in a horizontal Russian snowstorm is just horrifying.

The thing that bothers me about @MrHewes and followers comments is calling the T-34 Russian. It wasn't and Isn't. Its Soviet. The USSR conquered Russia (and Ukraine and half of Europe). Russia and USSR are not synonymous. Once you understand this you can see why the T-34 cared nothing for the crews/mechanics (and why Russians were genocided by the group that began and ran USSR)

You can see why the readiness rates of t-34's were so bad. If i had to replace the turret on a damaged t-34 in combat with fire going off around me i would probably say "fuck it to these shims i'm just going to call up the factory and get another tank"

High-Pressure water blasting is very good stuff. I wrote about this a while ago during one of your other builds, Just be careful if you have concerns over corrosion as the psi (at least on the system I was using is 35,000 psi) as it will literally cut through steel. I very much enjoy your content thanks for sharing!

Really enjoy the video's and banter. Is it just me or does Mr Hewes look like a young Donald Sutherland ???

Fantastic video Joe.... nice haircut you’re sporting too! LOL Just a suggestion from an old industrial mechanic who still has all ten of his fingers......, Lift operators in our circle were allowed to take direction from one guy only during the lift process. Multiple mechanics working on a lift would report to the designated lift director who would signal to the lift operator. The operator would literally stop the lift operations if more than one voice or hand signal entered his realm. Never had a lift accident in 35 years while using this method. Our operators and support crew reckoned they had all the time in the world to NOT make a fatal mistake. No one was in a hurry once the lift was on. Our father taught us kids; never put your finger were you wouldn’t put your dic$. I have passed this method and sound advice along to many apprentice over the years. It’s was fun to hear them recite those words of wisdom as journeyman to their apprentice. My gift to you sir. 😃👍🏻👍🏻

Definitely not a job for the feint of heart! Fantastic work guys! Looking forward to more T34 content!

if a soviet engine is not leaking oil it means there is no oil inside, need to fill up.

Amazing piece of kit, back in the day. Very powerful gun, sloped armour and IIRC 140,000 built. Still in service today!

I don't think they built that many T-34's. I believe it was closer to 97,000 including all versions of the T-34 as well as tank destroyers that used the T-34 lower hull/chassis. The T-54/55 is the most produced tank in history with...give or take...100,000 hulls and it is still in service with many military services around the globe.

I had not realized just how compact a T-34 was.

You guys are doing an awesome job and I cannot wait to see the conclusion :)

Nice work people!! Jack is as positive as ever. Good show!!

Wow, fascinating. Also, good thing you guys found this tank since all of your other projects are done. 🙂

You should definetly try that aqua blaster, George Saunders got the same offer and did a video on it and it seems like a great system. No dust at all since it sprays a water solution with the sand that also prevents rust.

All that oil has done a great job of stopping rust. A few gallons of solvent and a good soap down and that engine bay will be sparkling clean. I enjoy your channel, as you transform this tank.

A note about the turret pads - Soviet tanks were produced in absolutely combat conditions. The main thing was the speed of production and quantity. This was eventually confirmed, Hitler himself lamented in one document that the Russians would put several times more on a certain number of German machines. Great video, thanks.

Love this series on the t34 pls keep them coming

Another 26 minutes fly by, excellent content once again. I like the way you carefully marked the turret shims and then just leave them there and trust to luck!

I love your content. Perfect blend of brittish humour and education rolled into one. Very informative and well presented indeed. 👍

So much work to do, yet you and the fella's arent shying away from doing it the right way. Cheers for sharing.

When I’ve rebuilt me jeep….. the engine bay was always clean….. good to hear you do the same…..as you say it’s great looking at the outside but when you look at the internals you want to see a similar job…😎💪🏼

That was really fun to watch and still chuckling at the gags. I am really glad to see you used the orange high tensile bailer twine to lift the radiators, proper job!

I was told by an ex Russian tank driver the T34 was a quality tank. When asked what quality means he said "easy to repair and make new parts". How true that is on that old a tank I don't know.

Smashing job ,watching this gives me confidence to tackle smaller tasks myself.

Fascinating video again lads. Thank you.

DIDENT KNOW I WAS WATCHING EXTREME ATHLETES BLOODY WELL DONE TOO ALL 😮. 😊

Love every minute of it! Glad you’re going to do a proper job!

Good video, I'm pleased I used to work on combine harvesters, but many hands, and forklifts make light work. It all came apart quite well, you can see what you're doing. String for lifting the rads out? That's big bale baler band, it has a greater SWL ! Well done for keeping your shed clean, never an easy job with tackle like that. Looking forward to the next exciting episode! Cheers lads. 🙂👍🙂

Laughed out loud when the engine clears the back of the hull and jack turns around and looks into the engine bay, and says 'what a bag of shit' 😂 now that was a heartfelt statement of him realising how much fun he was going to have cleaning it up! 😊

Very interesting, a lot of work to be done there, look forward to seeing it done.

First time I’ve really appreciated how much space the Christie suspension takes up inside the hull.

The best tank in the history of the world in the history of mankind

'A big stone would knock this out.' lol Good luck with the future Mr Hewes n co!

Спасибо вам ребята 🇺🇸 за уважение к танку !!! Будьте здоровы !!

An enjoyable vid because I watched all the mastermilo vids on the T69-II and now I can see how the design progressed from this one. Especially that aluminium riveted centrifugal fan. His manual said a gallon of oil for every hundred gallons of diesel, and there are no in,te valve seals.

Vids like this make me want to park a Stormer outside my house and start Mk2'ing it.

Oily and greasy much better than dry and rusty. I’m thinking they mounted the engine and built the tank around it. Good plan the more you cleanup and restore the less problems in the future. Given it was a Russian tank, it will most likely be in better condition when you finish than when it was built.

excellent fun Joe - while the inside looks as filthy as Jacks mind, many modelling enthusiasts will be buying up all them weird and wonderful weathering paints to make their models look realistic - but i am totally with you, like i watched all of Master Milo vids and the T55 and found his restoration to be job top - everything looks so much better with a dab of paint and give all parts a once over, replace everything that is close to failing while you can get at them, top job fella - still suffering with the hey fever, best sink a few bottles of JD and sleep well

Really interesting to see the history and engineering revealed. Your channel is great and this will be more quality work. Cheers.

Great coverage!!!!

love the way you explain things

Hi, I watch another channel "Rebuild Rescue" they have a Vapour Hone machine for clean parts, it uses water , it seems to do a fantastic job at clean things, even tafes off paint.

Came for the tanks....stayed for Jack in a tank top. 👀

Aqua blaster is great used it on boat hulls, fantastic with less mess than sand.

I found this channel on Instagram just watched these to t-34 videos so far.. love them.. just subscribed 🤗

Perhaps that’s how they make Guiness?

I'll be following this process. The T 34 was - out of need- a very utilitarian tank. It was totally designed to be quickly and easily built even by unskilled labor. As I watched you use the forklift to lift the engine out, I could imagine Russians with chain hoists sweating away at manhandling the task. I'm glad you intend to do a proper full restoration, and not make a parade vehicle. Cheers!

Massive thumbs up! For a tank that was lauded for its simplicity and ease of repair during WW2, the reality is proving to be the opposite!

Just like in a ship, the engine compartment must be spotless.

Heros you are. I find work on my Viva HC more than heavy enough. Should not say this, a very naughty comment, but tank restoration with eye candy, what’s not to like.

Enjoyed the video again boys very interesting thankyou nice to see ted too.🐕

Great greasy video of seeing the inside of Russian engineering. Glad that you not only take things apart but then examine them to make sure they work when going back on! Nothing worse than a mechanical breakdown in the field!

Another interesting video Joe. It will be interesting to see if the aqua blaster system works. I seem to remember Edd China used one.

Love ya work guys! keep it up!

Awesome Vid! You guys are doing a great job. Keep it up. Looking forward seeing that engine stripped down and checked over. :)

great progress guys

You win 1000 Internet points for using old bail twine to lift out the radiators 😎👌🤣

You Lads are doing a hell of a job it's just Brilliant,quite the difference from working on Dad's Hillman Crack on

and history says a T34 was simple ... well not that simple brilliant vid again

brill , love the vids , thanks

The last truck I had dustless blasted worked a treat. But yes, on complete vehicles it's a royal pain to mitigate the sand intruding into things it shouldn't. But in this instance, you'll be well served. And keep some sanity from not having to needle gun it.
