I don't admire the ones who restore completely garbage items. I find them to be on par with that autistic child holding a stick playing with dog poo while all the cool kids are playing baseball, or cricket.

Got to be honest .. this gives me some shivvers thinking of crewing that beast .. and I spent 12 years on the Abrams .. M1 and M1A1 tanks

There's an opening in the basket turret it has to align with the side hatch , if it is disabled and on fire and not aligned 👎

old tank looks so bad ass..i love the design of all the old tanks

Good to see the real thing when I visited the other week.

That is amazing that it survived all those years "Intact" What is the incredible story behind how it managed to survive so intact. AND how YOU lucked out to resurrect to her to her glory days ! Real Cool !

That engine is top shelf... Such a wonderful piece of history.

WOW I have never heard of using a Radial aircraft engine in a Tank! That's Awesome!

Thank you for your effort and time to do this.

Cool as only now I saw your restoration! Just subscribed and looking forward to see your coming restoration! Keep posting!

Lovely video, please keep them coming!!!!!

Can't wait to see how this progresses, nice one

Great video. Can't wait to see this all the way through. The walk through was great.

Spot on video... brilliant

She is a beauty just in her rusty state

American, British and German tanks were all "petrol" except a small number of Sherman's. Sherman's and Stuart's also used radial engines

Love tank restorations keep it up it's great work

Thank you, very interesting

I love the optimism. The ammo crate is rusted through, but "its all there, just need a bit of smoothing out", and the same goes for everything. I suppose, as long as thing can move at all they are in "pretty good shape".

Also a little sad that we consider that "Good shape". I think there should be more museums of old stuff like this.

To think that in 50 years there might be videos just like these on our tanks like the Challenger or M1A1 Abrams

She's a lovely girl that just needs a little TLC... ^_^

Great work. I recall the M3 Lee for Spielberg’s 1941 was actually a M7 Priest rebuilt from hull up. Probably only wood.

The Germans in the show Rat Patrol rode around in M7 Priests with German army markings on them. They figured the audience had no idea they were American tracked howitzers.

Wasn't that a Lee that used to be at the War and Peace Show with all the Shell Marks where it came off the Range or was it a Grant?

I hear their going to restore the death trap capabilities of this vehicle as well

Hay! That's ours! Give it back!!!!

Hi nice tank

i know it had many flaws but there is just something awesome about a tank with friggin cannons sticking out of it everywhere not to mention Humphrey Bogart in Sahara with this thing? and for you anime fans the first year girls in Girls Und Panzer manning a pink one? if you dont love this tank you dont love tanks.. period

I love restoration of old history love it i have seen in war thunder this tank i want to own it so much love it 😀 ❤

Same type of tank that Bogart commanded in the movie Sahara, his tank was named Lulu Belle. We sent some of these to the Russians during the war but they didn't care for them, called them a grave for 7 brothers.

I would had reckoned you guys would have had more of them restored over there, seeing as how we sent tons of them to the British forces in the early stages of the war until we got the Shermans made.

A lot got sent to the Asian theater of operations, Burma, some wound up in Australia where this came from.

our tanks (USA) were great and were easy to repair :) after the north african desert, they were very successful in Burma .

which is why the Sherman imo is one of the top tanks of WWII. Not only was it easy to maintain and repair as you said but also performed their jobs very well

There’s an M3 grant at the tank museum which is not that different

squirt wheel grease on the steel wheels

the barrel/turret looks like a kv2's turret

pretty sure i saw that on a low loader going up the 303 in hampshire

looks just like the t40 body wise

1000 like XD Nice vid dude

It reminds me of the M3 GrantI used to drive past on the way to work everyday in Melbourne.

Same same, but same. The difference was whether or not it had the cupola and 30cal MG mounted above the turret. He says this came from Oz, so it should be a Grant.

Some chick on tiktok sent me... Liked subbed and commented XD

We have one of this tank deserted and abandoned used by the 2nd Div of the British Raj after the Battle of Kohima of 1944. It's sad to see the current state as it is completely abandoned and if I'm not mistaken, there were no engines on it. Just came to know it's called the M3 Lee. Our government should have taken measures to restore it at least to be preserve it in state museum along with the history.

This looks like a mid or late model, because the tank has no side hull hatches.

Looks like the U.S. Grant tank.

i would literally intern there for free until retirement

I have to question if welding all those rivots was actually more time consuming than just welding the plates together properly. Maybe the design change would have been more work.

How much tourqe does the engine make?

Fun fact: the m3 Lee was the first American tank in ww2

Please notice that the guys jsut stands at the drivers seat position. Thats not common that a hull is that high.

It took about 15 months from design to production, and about 5 minutes for the 88’s to turn them into scrap iron.

Isn't the UK version of the "Lee" called the "Grant"?

@aaronleverton4221

4 жыл бұрын

No. The UK used both. The difference is the turret. Lee had a cupola and .30cal MG, Grant did not. However, he says it was sourced from Australia, which only used Grants in WW2.

It is a grant I think.

Grants and Lees are essentially the same tank, mostly minor differences when the US made the Lee for the UK.

Why bother restoring such a useless sack of shit when you could get a real tank and restore it like Master Milo
