Cannot understand how someone would spend a lot of cash on such an item, then if broken just leave it open to the elements? At least put a tarp over the hatches or close them.

Thanks for doing this. This tank must be restored to its former state.

two boyz and a field full of tanks, i call that Pims o'clock - amazing

Well done chaps, what a sweet engine, me thinks you will be getting through a lot of WD40.

I just saw an old american cold war era tank here in germany at a museum on the former border between east and west germany. it was an M60A3 but the cannon was filled up completely with concrete, you have to do that in order to demilitarize it, otherwise it would be not allowed standing around in the landscape that's the law here.

Just came across your channel today for the first time I’m going to watch your videos I would love to see a part 2 new sub

Beautiful chieftain tanks shouldn't be left out like that

This channel popped up and it was awesome! All the way from the U.S!

I’m jealous. I wanna play around with tanks all day!

Wish I lived somewhere I could do this. would spend what I have left in life recovering them and restoring.

It comes with its own turf. You could visit a golf course, and tee off from the deck of the tank! The other members will be horrified, and say things like "thats a bad show old chap!" but what is cooler than teeing off from a Chieftain tank? Part 2? Yes please!

For those who do not know, this is a Chieftan tank, one of the older models. You can tell because of the barrel, there is no gas container, the Centurion has one closer to the turret, for the chieftan it is farther up the barrel and is a different shape, you can look at images if you want.
