No wonder so many of my fathers friends who served in REME during WWII had bad backs and missing fingers.

pappy schmappy

Wooo 🥳 Close The Bleeds ... probably get another .8 mph.

How much oil I end up putting two quarts and seems more than full.

Do you have a video of replacing the deck belt on the x360 I can’t figure it out thanks

Those are a really nice tractor,and the changeable tranny filter and fluid is the best feature. Im lookin at 2 different models an x310 i found for $2200 and an x360 i gound for $2600. Both are in about the same condition with between 300 and 400 hours on them. Id live the x360,but its almost a 3 hour drive from me. Ive still got a couple days ti decide. Hopefully something will come of it. Thanks for sharing these videos.

Great info !

Oil looked clean to me.

Even back then WTF can't people back them up into position.Try backing up a old TJ skidder bucket and trailer,it's a lot harder to do than that stupid little trailer. On the TJ skidder bucket you had to keep an eye on the boom that stuck out over the front as it would go the opposite direction you want to turn.Then the trailer was another trick and you had to keep an eye on all of it. Once you done it awhile it was easy.....and the steering on the TJ was stick,not a big steering wheel...lol How about farmers that have balers and wagons...... Hell of a lot of work detaching that trailer (even though it's a pintle hitch)and then reattaching it to the front,then detaching and reattaching it to the rear.......must be a Britts "better idea" like that recovery SNAFU along with the "NCO" standing beside the winch cables under load...especially that kinked (damaged) cable.

Thanks for using our STA-BIL Storage fuel stabilizer! We apprecaite it!

There's no way I would have posted this oil change and embarrassed myself this way. I mean this is bad....really bad

Let me get drunk so I can understand this better

I sent my mother to John Deere to get transaxle oil to do the trans oil change and they told her she didn’t need it because it’s a closed system, so now I have to go back and purchase it myself and boy are they gonna get a earful. So angry

Is this the K58 transmission? I have a X390 I want to service the transmission soon

thats 15 minutes of my life ill never get back

The tires/tyres are mounted for pulling with the front of the tractor, not the rear like a farm tractor. Seems to not be correct.

Replace all Divets for good Landowner Relations .

Hmmmm... I wonder which bright spark had the idea of training REME airborne units in tank recovery? Because perhaps I'm missing something, but airborne units in WW2 had no tanks because planes couldn't transport them. Moreover, planes couldn't transport the huge Scammel tractors needed in tank recovery either.... so let's make a training film about such an impossibly unrealistic situation. What can we say?.... Thank God for the Navy.... unless, of course, it was all part of a cunning plan (of the Baldrick variety) to let the training film fall into enemy hands so that they might believe that we actually could airlift such vehicles. Incidentally, my uncle joined REME at the beginning of WW2 as a 2nd Lieutenant and ended up as a full Colonel, (temporary Brigadier and reputed to be the youngest in the British Army) specialising in ... tank recovery, repair and refurbishment in battle zones. Unless my uncle was a genius, such rapid promotion can only have come about because REME was useless at it the beginning of the war, don't you think?

My grandad, Craftsman E A Powell was in the REME at this time. He was great at his job but I can’t help thinking there would have been less running and more tea and cigarettes.

Brilliant, great bit of Nostalgia.

Boy that knowledge will come in handy, the next time my Mom jumps the track and ditches her captured German Panther.

Love the bit where its handed back to the crew....

interesting the 1945 use of the word "casualty" in describing a boged tank?, as this is not a first aid refference to the victim.

I've never seen any workers run like this these boys mean business

Nothing says 'piddler' like pegboard-

Good video, imagine having all that tackle. I'd love to have one of those tuck/tractors l. And one know what they had for an engine?

My wife was considering buying one of these for our recovery firm Scammell Tow services.. but things got a bit tight ....🙄

I'm not a combat engineer, or a tanker, but I was a forward observer in both lav 25, and M1 Abrams. Not much has changed when it comes to this stuff tbh.

Great stuff. I'm not sure exactly how the holdfasts work, but it looks as if a big load (4/5 of the total) is taken by steel rods driven into the ground. I can imagine situations where this would not work, either because the ground is too soft, or where it is rocky.

Excellent. Now if I come across a tank in the ditch here in Canada winter I know how to pull it out. Just need to get those parts & ropes into the trunk of the EEPmobile.

If I were rich.....I'd be collecting old English vehicles. They're creative, interesting, and I love them...

I find these videos fascinating. Take simple technology add a firm understanding of physics mix with a bit of work smart and the job is done. I always find it funny how much direction they want the crew to give the driver. You'd swear they think he can't see out his windows.

A "Snatch block" means something totally different today. 🤣😂 "Snatch blocker" or "🐓" blocker.

I love old training films or films explaining tactical and strategic operation, or showing new military equipment and technologies. They simply don't make em like this anymore.

Good work if you can get it. hahaha

They sure do a lot of running !

And this shows why they made the M88 Recovery Vehicle. All that manual labor and time when a recovery vehicle can brute force armor recovery. Everything is heavy and put it in mud and its worse. All the tanks I saw recovered were in deep mud or sand

For all the criticism of the M1 carbine, it would beat the hell out of a sten!

Awesome vehicle, Scammell are in my top 10 best trucks of all time Very nice 👍 Thank you for showing

25:16 Seems odd to be waving your hands around in excitement.

Jeez, you’d have to be well strong to do all of this!

Keep these coming please...almost makes me want to ditch a tank just to pull it out.

How did they make the two ends meet? I noticed they cut that bit..But great old school recovery ..

My physics tells me it is a 4:1 but I could be wrong.

Clever arrangement

I would do this , it would be an interesting experience.

Five minutes later Drive gets stuck in a next ditch 🤦‍♂️

I am surprised that they don't have a A-Frame so to speak ( sky hook) that can come up by winch power. Just saying with all this other heavy haul manual labor intensive work. The boom seems to be straight out of bed of front truck( what ever British call front truck) why they did not make them lower to ground on trailer All heavy hauls are ( low boys) but I was not even though about being born when they made this so what do I know about British heavy hauls recovery. Interesting to watch from back then.

Thanks, neat to see.
