Works of art! The guys from Poland should be so proud of their workmanship... Stunning. It's a shame it's all going to be hidden from view

As a motor head, amateur historian wannabe, I find this stuff fascinating.

Nice to see the Germans made this simple, cheap, and easy to repair. Said no one ever

I'm just an old man in Kansas USA sitting on my front porch enjoying watching the finest Mechanics in all of Australia, but I get to be one of them each week.

Panzer Farm did some incredibly accurate and beautiful fabricating and machining there! Every single article is a masterpiece! Fantastic work!

Definitely a work of art. I like the irony of Poland being the world’s best at repairing WW2 Germany tanks.

I'd like to know the price tag to make all that $5000 ? $10000 dollars . Not including shipping

I worked as a machinist after returning from Vietnam and I can say that .. that amount of machining is simply INSANE. I am properly Gobsmacked.

plus this is german machining back during the late 1930's to think they made the gaer box then, so just think how complex new gear box's are and also electrically controlled and very expensive to make out of hi quality steels, the stuff they use today is nothing compared to the steel's used for a tank gear box, everything is over engineered and that's how germany made things all the time?

But yeah, the 19th Century joke about German engineering being bad, really spurned them onwards, and considering just human 'computer' brains with slide-rules and calculation tables, with CAM-Auto Lathes & Milling Machines... ..Britain and the Coburg-Gotha parts of pre-unity Germany did share a lot together during the Victoria & Albert era..

No Kidding there is easily 40k worth of parts there

"Brown paper packages all tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things........."

This is exactly the mental image I get when the Internet asks "But why don't you make X vehicle a runner?!". Lots of people just don't recognise the massive longterm investment of time, money, resources and skill required to actually get a vehicle, let alone something as complex and chunky as an AFV back to running condition and keep it that way without it destroying itself. As a mechanically inept person, I'd struggle to do something like that even with step by step diagrams and someone looking over my shoulder. Fantastic job by the Aus. armour team and for regularly shedding light on what an involved and difficult process vehicle restoration actually is.

the championship of the boys from panzer farm knocks you to your knees. I am proud that we have such master mechanics in Poland. greetings from Poland to your team and I'm waiting for the next episode.

I was almost off to bed but then I saw a new Workshop Wednesday had been uploaded! Sleep can wait a bit.

I'm not sure what impresses me more, the quality of workmanship in those gears/bearings, or Beau and Ryan putting that jigsaw together. Well done!!

The Polish machining is first class. I like the way the boys problem solve and skilfully tackle what is a complex jigsaw puzzle.

Stunning engineering by the guys from Poland and amazing work putting the jigsaw of parts back together by the guys. Can't wait to see what happens next

Quite a few hours of work in all of that, especially just for one set that I doubt. $400 to $8000 per gear/shaft made in Australia.

Greetings from Poland. It's nice to watch historic steel monsters being rebuilt and restored to full working order. If I ever go to Australia, I'd like to see your museum.

Great work by the Polish chaps

"Dzięki chłopaki" made my day. Thank You for another fantastic episode and looking forward to having this vehicle completed and up on display.

Out of all the projects they've completed: Tiger, Jagdpanther: I'm looking forward to this Stug being finished, the most!! 👍 When everything's finally finished: it will be a work of art!! 😊 Keep up the good work boys. Fantastic job so far 👍

Panzer Farm, the sort of Agribusiness I could get into.

Another awesome episode with Ryan and Beau… imagine the experience it must require to translate what they found in that damaged rusty ‘box, without a manual, into “assembly is the reverse of disassembly”. Waszym polskim przyjaciołom mówię: „Gratuluję pięknej pracy!”

Huge shout out to the Panzer Farm for their contribution for this project. Their finest machine work made this restoration possible. Can't wait to watch next progression of Stg3 G !.😄

Wow just wow. You have a highly skilled crew, and a really determined attitude to restore lost history. You guys are amazing keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolute masterpiece, not enough words to describe how good you are, and to the people over in Poland who have helped you with the project a very big THANK YOU!!! all the best from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

That differential is a marvel of German engineering, and those reproduction gears, etc. are world class machine work!

Man those machinists are amazing. 👍 Seems a shame to cover them in grease and hide them inside a diff!

I have seen watches not made to that standard. Hats off to those artists in Poland, those workings are beautiful, such a shame they are hidden.

Wonderful history exists between Poland and Australia through ww2. Starting from Sep 1939 and through to the end, and post war immigration.

Kudos to the Polish Panzer farm. Amazing work turning the parts out . I hate the end of the video's . I get so fixated with watching Beau and Bro putting it all together

I have to agree with the comments here about the folks in Poland for their skill and quality workmanship of those gears and other associated parts. Stunning stuff for an iconic weapons platform.

Wow...just wow. The combination of strenght and fine feeling displayed here really touches me. I was born in 1960, got interested in WW2 at 12, grew up in the Bulge area, watching monument tanks rust away and dreaming how wild it would be if ever someone restored just one of them to former glory. (Or maybe just give it a new coat of paint, but that seemed too much to ask.) Was certain it was just impossible dreams...and now these guy are not only doing it, but let me watch. Thank you for being my dreams.

The germans really were on another level with their manufacturing. The fact someone can make reproductions (from original prints I assume) and they fit like this to another random housing that was blown up. Also hats off to the Panzerfarm guys for manufacturing these parts.

Not sure how this channel ended up in my feed but I'm really glad it did! This ha me totally glued for the entire video. Someone else commented that the amount of machine work is just amazing! I have family who are machinists, my dad worked for Timken bearings and I worked the Timken steel mills. We all agree those boys from Poland did a beautiful job! Besides the machine work I really love the narration of these videos. There are people who can read from a script well, and then there are others who can tell a story from the same script. This definitely falls into the later category! 🎉😊 Great channel!

Here's hoping that twisted housing doesn't cause premature bearing wear. Full marks to those Polish engineers. It's a work of art.

OMG the polish really know how to machine complex gear sets ,to think i am sure someone here in australia could have done the same thing, but it would have cost so much more, even with a template, which we did not have, but the polish did have spares and made new sets of gears for the gear box? Keeep up the great work guys, always looking forward to your uploads and thank you Poland for their help . 🙌🙌👌👌👍👍😎😎

Thanks again guys for letting us come along the journey. To be able to see such workmanship is a true joy. Very grateful to you Kurt and all the crew...you are doing good work not only in the workshop...... 😉....🙏

Now those gears and shafts are some amazing craftmanship. Bar none. Panzer Farm should be very proud. Went right together with no issues.

Awesome job, guys. The Stug III andBeau are back !. we've been waiting ages for this. And those parts from Poland are magnificant

Beautiful work by the crew at Panzer Farm. That was as much fun as watching kids at Christmas unwrapping their gifts!

Those are some beautifully machined gears!! A true example of craftsmanship and skill.

You should do an episode just on how you guys have to locate and acquire parts, being a mechanic myself, I know how hard it can be to locate parts for a 20 year old mass produced machine, I can't imagine trying to find parts for a 70 year old specific application machine.

Really enjoyed this one. Loved seeing all of the new gears and bearings. Thank you to Panzer farm for them!

Workshop Wednesday coming clutch even for the guys. Kinda funny seeing them look at an episode to figure out where parts go. I think it just goes to show how lucky we are to have these videos.

Awesome! A tip from an old man, when drifting in things like these bearings with a brass punch you want a big hammer and light blows it is easier on the parts and easier on you. I always used a short handled sledge hammer. It is more like pressing it in rather than using hard blows that can cock the piece or damage it. Big hammer, soft blows you won't damage anything. I learned that many years ago from an old machinist.

Imagine the sheer quantity of this wonderful engineering that was created on all sides of the first and second world wars that was simply blown to pieces!!!! Great project and super video. Cheers.

Deutsch Engineering was OFF the charts !!

Viva Poland !

Marvellous Polish tradespeople 👍🇦🇺 Better than Christmas hey Beau. Thanks fellas.

Just a thrill to watch. The workmanship and precision that went into all those parts and then to follow two fantastic craftsmen ply their trade...just phenomenal. Thank you again for sharing!

Wow there’s hundreds of hours of machining in the box, beautiful to see. Congrats to the polish team

I'd love to see an episode (in general) on how you find parts for these old vehicles!

Those beautiful shiny gears look like they belong in an display case, so their awesomeness can be appreciated. It is a shame that they will be hidden from site in the equally awesome Stug. Now Beau has a jigsaw puzzle to complete.

A pure miracle of craftsmanship and newly made parts!

Theses parts are so beautifully made! Theses guys from Poland are master at machining!

Man, this is reality TV at its best!

The most horrible thing besides being 75+ years old,that sweet loving aroma of german engineering, makes everything a breeze,super great work😊

Mind blowing...the craftsmanship of those gears....absolutely incredible...

You all most feel was the Xmas morning when the polish Santa brings the surprise for the StuG III. Fantastic works from the polish guys of the PanzerFarm. 😊

Amazing to see this differential Intuit, I work in the UK making industrial axles for airport tow vehicles and the similarities between what we produce and use and what was used by the Germans 75 years ago is Incredible, our parts aren't as shiny as they are made from castings and forgings, but they do the same job in the same way.

Absolutely gorgeous parts from Panzer Farm!!

Every Wednesday this channel is the Good Gear ..

Everything you guys do is so delightful to watch. More than just the work itself, everyone involved makes me smile like how Bob Ross and Mr. Rogers do.

Incredible to watch and see the art in the machine come to life!! Im in awe of you guys. Great work AusArmour 👏

The nylon torsion arm bushings is a very clever solution.

My tongue is lying on the floor. How beautifull are these machined parts.

Greetings from Poland, guys :D

Being a 'Non - Engineer' I truly appreciate the mechanical term of 'Thingy', and what beautiful metal art to work with. Also congratulations to Beau on becoming a Father.

You know you've done it right only if there's bits left over! :D

This is like Christmas, what beautiful looking machined parts ,What a brilliant piece of workmanship assembling the drive housing with all new components

Greetings from Poland :)

First rule of receiving parts in a crate: Do a piece count and tally against the manifest that they were supposed to send. That manifest is necessary to clear customs, as evidenced by the tape on the crate. Next, you take a clipboard and make a list and drawing of each part, so that you now have a clear picture of what you received. I've been restoring cars for nearly 40 years, and always follow that procedure so that you can account for everything. Same with plating items: take a photo of your run of plated parts, an have a piece count. Lay them all out on a table with the assembly, your name, and the process desired written on a piece of cardstock so that you have a photographic reference and can compare when the parts arrive. You need a Parts Guy!

How stunning is that workmanship, blimey!

Great to see him back, hope everything is great at home. I can't say for anyone else but those parts were absolutely great looking. I hope the nylon bushings perform as good as hoped , I always hated needle bearings and assembling them. I couldn't even drink my coffee watching this episode . Thanks again for another great start to a Wednesday morning.

Wonderful! And the work of those Poles! Wow! Ya'll are going to have yourselves a running Stug! 🙂

Congratulations Beau. The parts in from Poland are beautifully done. This section is a work of art. That it is going back together relatively easy is great news, the housing cannot be too badly warped. Great work ans great video. Thank you mates for this.

A big hats off to the Panzer Farm! They did an outstanding job on the machining those gears.

Great Stuff from Poland!

Allways a pleasure to see ozzy precision hammer techniques and adjustable fit-all spanners on high end german engineering, I got tears in my eyes and trouser.

It's not magic, but it is art.

Great to see another Stug episode, awesome stuff 😊

Yay! More for the StuG! 👍

G'day Boys, you have earned a cold beer for that great job done, cheers to all at OZ Armour.

THAT was a great episode, fellas.

Brilliant work both in Poland and Oz 😊

Seriously beautiful metal working on those parts!

Absolute works of art. Stunning machining 👏🙌😎

Nice job guys, 1 step closer to seeing their StuG cruising across the field

this channel is such a little gem, no one else is restoring freakin tanks.

Those gears are a work of art.. Well done to Panzer Farm!

Great job guys see those parts from Poland fit in there like butter

Machining is Awsome on the parts!!! Being a machinist it’s very neat to see all of it going together!!! Can’t wait to see it running!!👍👍

Looking forward to this years Armourfest

Beau old mate, I'm as straight as a die but I think I love you. You are one clever Son of a Gun. I love this show I can’t get enough of it. I’m in the process of building a M26 Pershing tank from Armortek UK and just loving it. keep up the great work.

Art in craft by all parties involved. Great work!

He said "I built them all by hand"....I could totally believe that judging by the work I've seen done!!

As a manual machinist for 38 + years those gears and parts are top of the line.....

I think the housing to hold all those transmissions and wheels seems to work very well despite everything! Great job 👏 👍

A lot of Museum and private collection vehicles are running today because of the guys at Panzer Farm!! Amazing work.

WOW! amazing machining and awesome to see it all fit together. Thanks for another fantastic video 👍🏻🇦🇺

OMG!!! How cool that those guys in Poland can still manufacture those items
