- Todays we are fixing this cold war era FV432. Most of the running gear needs changing on this military vehicle so we have our work cut out for us! Restoring these cold war era vehicles can be hard work but that's why we have started creating these videos to show people how to fix a military vehicle with ease. The FV432 was used by the British army during the 1960's onwards.

Sunday on any exercise were downtime, we got the crews to take all the batteries out, then the sparky checked the water levels and they were put back. The crew in the meantime cleaned out and repacked and stowed their kit, brilliant guys in C Company.
One of my jobs when there was no sparky jovs was turning job cards in gaskets for top rollers and road wheel hubs
"Grease the shaft" best quote ever as a tanker
Haha it’s very important!
@@ArmourgeddonTanks I plan on getting a t16 bren gun carrier one day!
its never the pins youve had oot an greased before that snap ... i used to dream of a new set of tracks nice an tight all the rubbers on ... always seemed to break in the worst places in water or ditched , torsion bar bushes were a pain in the hoop tho change too but a good vehicle to work on if you keep after it an dont leave em sitting outside too long .
Yes haha they are definitely a challenge but are great vehicles
I hope you lockwire those two sprocket keep plate bolts, we had a 432 throw a sprocket and track when leaving the barracks in Germany 1981, the driver failed to check the bolts when he first paraded his 432 and the plate came off and so the sprocket nut undid itself, it threw the track and his sprocket did that usual thing of hitting one of the most expensive mercs at the time. The first parade items were painted red to show priority checks so the bolts and plate were painted and a line on the hubs showed the correct place to check the oil levels. The sprocket nut had a high torque setting but the REME had the torque wrench 1" drive and a short piece of scaffold pole helped to get it too the right setting , plus you always tighten to fit the plate never undo and off course lockwire the red painted bolt heads together.
Lucky you, no torsion bars failed. I used to hate that job as the rubber bushes in the shock absorbers would react with the metal and seize up as would the securing nuts. This was on MK 2 432's which at the time were nearly new! (1965/6)
Two people lifting the sprocket, tools and moving the FV432 just to get the track on... This video perfectly captures how much work replacing a track really is. Great video.
Thank you! It’s hard work but definitely worth it!
Our driver was always throwing tracks, not a nice job in the field, with only the crew to haul the tracks around. Great fun.
Top tier video. I really enjoyed this one. I'd love to see a video like this about the Daimler Ferret, if you ever get that far. Nice work fellas.
Thank you hopefully we will take it for a spin in the summer!
Strangely enough, in my 14 years as a VMA* (1966-1980) in REME, I repaired many Chiefy top rollers and drive sprockets but never on a 434 or latterly, on our LAD 432. Back in 1970 I was driving our 434 back from an early evening job and took a too oblique angle over a ditch and threw a track. For my sins, I stayed with it over night and we refitted the track next morning.
There is a less muscular way of lifting and placing the final drive sprocket in place. On the hull above the final drive assy, there is a lug sticking out with a lateral through hole. (see at 5.53 of this video just above the water spray nozzle) A suitable length of pipe with a corresponding through hole is attach to this lug with a pin or bolt. Two sliding "S" hooks are placed over the pipe, and the other ends are attached to the slots on the sprocket rings. The sprocket is then easily lifted and jiggled into place.
Wheely great video as always!
Glad you like them!
Terrific video. More than anything you guys need to concrete that area this summer.
It is concreted but it’s a old farmyard so it’s quite broken. We definitely could do with a new patch!
Track bashing was no fun. Especially when the wagon is in 3 foot of muddy water lol
Haha definitely!
How do you change the track pads?
They have a bolt that comes through to the inside of the track. I just have to remove the nut and then hit it with a hammer
@@ArmourgeddonTanks I remember an incident where a track pad came loose, was tossed into the air, and landed on the Commander's head, bolt down.
❤❤❤
Damn aren't battery powered grease guns the best!
Definitely! I used to use the hand pump ones and they are horrible when In the mud
@@ArmourgeddonTanks Audi Grease gun, I believe it was called.
What's a GSR?
Hi! It’s a guided support roller. The small wheels at the top holding the track up. I’m sure they go by other names though
We used to call em top rollers
