  • Since we restored our WW2 Stuart M3A1 tank a little while ago, i thought why not put our series together in one video with a load of footage that you likely haven't seen yet!

    Tank restorations are truly my favourite thing when it comes to military history

    Sweet ride. That first time running it out on the field must have felt incredible. Awesome job. Talented bunch of folks there.

    Something about a tank just makes every gearhead and rodder interested. I care nothing about the history, but I sure do love the machinery! ALL of them, from every side! Even a crappy tank is still a TANK!

    Yup, radial, if it’s not leaking and burning oil, it’s either not working or not a radial.
    Excellent summary video, that little bugger must be a blast to drive. Always seemed like it was the Bradley of its day.

    Very interesting, an amazing restoration. How nice to see that you're still able to source a
    live Gun for these tanks. I had the idea that everything would have been deactivated by now.

    Fantastic work, my Dad drove a Stuart Tower (it towed a 17 pounder) just after war, loads of stories of how quick they were and he had a scar when one bit him when he crashed it on Ex in Egypt. I went the dismount route...Kinda wish I went Armoured Inf :)

    @ditzydoo4378 5 месяцев назад +1

    I'd say this Stuart is quite early, being an M-3 updated to A1 standards notably by removing the two-sponson wing MG's and welding blanking plates over the holes.

    The dripping oil reminds me of Landrovers I owned years ago, if there was oil under the vehicle you knew there was oil in the motor.

    That bit about finding bullets in the hull can actually get people importing tanks in trouble depending on country it's going to. Like in the US. If the shipping country didn't clean it out really well you can have problems with importing ammo

      Unless it is an Atomic Bomb,
      there should be no problem importing to America.
      PS; You can always get ammo at any hood, nationwide.

    One of the Brazil tanks?
    Have any of the Brazil Guiberson powered tanks been restored that you are aware of?
    Here in the US, there are no known Guiberson tanks, so the Stuart guys tell me.
    I have a Guiberson that I have restored and run at engine shows occasionally.
