How mutch dos all this cost for you guys? And will you guys make some of the tanks so good that it can be in reenactment events? And also, itsnt hecking hot working on tanks?
Isnt it putting lots of excessive stress in the material which can cause cracks, when the boys rapidly cool the parts theyre trying to losen up with the heat?
@Villy-dv5yn I wonder 2 things, if it is for Queensland Movie Industry as Props, & or maybe another labor of love of a New Zealand Movie Maker who also restores WW1 Aircraft ...
When I was a contract mechanic for the Army, to get the ball bearings out of the ring we turned the ring so the hole faced down. we placed a bucket below the hole and as we rotated the ring, the bearings would fall out the hole into the bucket as they rotated to it. It didn't work every time but it did more than 80% of the time. Put a cloth in the bucket to stop the bearings from bouncing out.
I used to be a machine tool maintenance engineer many years ago before retirement, a German company called Spandau made duplex grinders and the work head had exactly the same setup as the turret ring. I used to enjoy rebuilding them after the ball tracks had been reground to accept slightly oversized balls! All this to an accuracy of 5 microns.
the thing with the big and small ball is the small one spins reversed while turning so the balls dont rub on each other usually you would see some kind of spacer but this is one is actually really clever designed
The WW2 British report on the captured PzKpfw IV G also found the same arrangement for that turret ring. In the report they too credit that fractional difference in ball bearing diameter aiding in circulating grease around the Ring
With Panzer I-III the Germans were teaching themselves how to design tanks. That's why they all had different armaments, suspensions, and hull constructions. Not surprised to see that disassembly of the turret ring and its bearings was also unique!
Daryl, one trick that might help you out that I have picked up in the machining world is when you are heating stuck bolts or joints is to put wax or tapping fluid on the threads or joint after heating instead of water. it helps to cool similar to the water but usually seeps into threads and tight spaces better while adding a lubricant. However, when using the oil watch out for flame ups. usually nothing serious but I wouldn't recommend it in confined spaces.
Absolutely loved the disassembly process in this video! It's fascinating to see the intricate details of the Panzer II turret ring. Can't wait for more Workshop Wednesdays to dive into the restorations!
Under optimal conditions, eight M8 bolts of strength class 8.8 can support approximately 16 tons under tensile load. If the bolts are subjected to shear stress or made of lower-quality material, the load capacity would be significantly lower.
I build alot of plastic tank models, but my greatest thrill was doing a frame off restoration of a WW2 1943 Chevrolet g506 4x4 army truck. Appreciate the work and patience it takes to work on restoring military equipment. Keep it up men. One day I intend to show up at your museum.
1:03 that's how they used to make OLD (and i really mean) old bearings. Those smaller balls are not actually ball bearings, they're spacers. The balls can't bunch up and friction wear, because they space the larger balls apart (since they can't get stuck). I did a bunch of custom bearings for a piece of old equipment and had the same conundrum as to why some balls were smaller.
the bolts shearing off he turret ring saved it from being bent or deformed beyond repair. The thickness of the steel of the turret itself, would not even keep out a 50cal BMG projectile or the anti tank rifles of the 1930's.
You should bag up that 80 year old grease from the turret ring and sell it in the museum. Would help keep the boys in beer for a bit. Good work as usual.
Love the videos, and very nice to see you all make these old rusty parts back to glorious historical tanks. Maybe if you have time during the video editing it might be fun to explain why you do stuff. Like the heating and rapid cooling, what do you hope will happen.
I think they build it so lightly with few bolts, because it was only inteded to withstand 20mm rounds from the front (Ausf.F) and otherwise 7,92mm S.m.K. allround anyway, to save on weight and cost.
Maybe the turret ring was supposed to be a weak point as a way of relieving inside pressure if the tank got hit & ammo went off, saving the tank from damage? Hence the puny 8mm bolts.
11:20 the tank got blown up, the turret decided to try for the lollipop olympics and left the tank in a hurry. THIS is why the ball was shattered. It was basically almost sheared off when the force of the inner ring tried to rip out of the outer ring. It didn't happen, and the bolts broke. This is also why the ring is intact otherwise, because the upper ring was bolted to the turret and the inner ring was affixed by each ball in the two races. Had the bolts sheared off unequally or on both sides, it would've been a different story.
Yeah they only needed 10x 8mm bolts to hold the turret down, because Turret High-Jump hadn't become an Olympic event as yet. That was in 1980 Moscow Games. Russia continues to show their dominance in this discipline..... 😏
The disassembly and repair of long frozen tank parts (from tanks that we are interested in) are the money videos of this channel. My personal view is I'm only interested in WW2 equipment from Germany, America and Russia. I personally have zero interest in the obscure equipment from France or Italy for example. I don't watch the videos when those types of restorations are going. I love Daryl's tenacity in getting things apart. He's representing the older workers nicely!
Mr. DARYL hasn't been defeated by a turret ring yet! I would have just dropped the whole damn thing off the forklift, and let the balls come bouncing out that way. Which is also why i couldn't do Daryl's job. And nobody rocks the the Roy Orbison glasses like Mr. DARYL.
Mk 1 & 2 panzers were basically training tanks that were used in war due to a shortage of medium tanks. The idea that the German economy was mostly war production right from the start is inaccurate. It was mostly geared to peacetime production of consumer goods until early in the war as it was thought that Germany could achieve its goals in a series of relatively small conquests to secure their people separated by the Versailles treaty, obtain resources and counter nations that did declare war on Germany on or after Sept. 1, 1939. Germany was essentially fighting a defensive poor mans war.
Q & A on this week's episode HERE!➡➡ruclips.net/user/shortstWRxwlClpxI?feature=share
How mutch dos all this cost for you guys?
And will you guys make some of the tanks so good that it can be in reenactment events? And also, itsnt hecking hot working on tanks?
What is each of the guys favourite tank in the museum?
What qualifications/experience would somebody need to have in order to work on tanks like this?
Isnt it putting lots of excessive stress in the material which can cause cracks, when the boys rapidly cool the parts theyre trying to losen up with the heat?
@Villy-dv5yn I wonder 2 things, if it is for Queensland Movie Industry as Props, & or maybe another labor of love of a New Zealand Movie Maker who also restores WW1 Aircraft ...
13:37 My favourite words in an Ausarmour video "I think we'll go with a bit of heat" 😁
YES! the old "heat wrench"
Absolutely enthralling, I could watch this for hours and not notice the time slipping by.
Highly addictive stuff and so "more" will never be enough.
When I was a contract mechanic for the Army, to get the ball bearings out of the ring we turned the ring so the hole faced down. we placed a bucket below the hole and as we rotated the ring, the bearings would fall out the hole into the bucket as they rotated to it.

So happy to watch every Panzer getting back to its life again is always Awesome !. See you guys on the next one ! 😊👍
You guys make my day when you publish videos.
What a team! You figured it out.

never knew about the washer trick, that's genious!
Legend has it that Daryl is still hammering at that turret.
I nearly forget it's summer down there until Wednesday rolls around. It'll be a lovely -30C weekend where I am. 😂
34°c where I am in Tasmania, Australia's coldest state.😊
At the Mother-in-law's?
Interesting video today on how that turret ring was put together. See yas on fix it Friday.
Great craftsmen and the editing on these videos is excellent. Really tells the story.
16:15. finally seeing the unsung hero of the crew, busy sweeping the floor!
With Panzer I-III the Germans were teaching themselves how to design tanks. That's why they all had different armaments, suspensions, and hull constructions. Not surprised to see that disassembly of the turret ring and its bearings was also unique!
Darryl is a total rockstar.
Nothing that a little heat and a big hammer cant fix! Best from the USA.
Another great video thanks Daryl. Proves that you can achieve wonders with heat and a BIG hammer

Don't know what it is but I find these videos incredibly relaxing😂
It's the joy of watching someone else working hard 😀
It's like a jigsaw puzzle in reverse with pieces which have to be banged out of the frame and half missing

А тебе это интересно?
Perfect length this time to watch while the kid gets ready for school!

If the bolts are subjected to shear stress or made of lower-quality material, the load capacity would be significantly lower.
A great bit of percussive maintenance.
I want to jump in and cleanup the turret ring, ball bearing, and race. It would be so satisfying to see them shining and moving like new.
Amazing work daz
Fascinating, as usual.
Great closing image of Daryl hammering away at that visor cover! 😅
Great job, Short Pants is a magician
Niceeee, video quality looks so sharp today.
AAAM shop: noodling-out capital of the world.
Great progress.!
My favorite channel ❤️

Awesome thanks guys 👍
Always very interesting. Thanks for sharing
Greetings from Vienna, Austria. Great content! :)
Great effort!
Go Daryl! Mr Relentless. Good to see, Mate. Show it who's Boss
i guess your getting this rain to also can not wait to see how you guys do the panzer 2 in the coming months

always a highlight of the day, ty
Go on Darryl, HIT IT! 😅
Only got this notification when it's been up a while I wonder why? Anyway yippee another upload from the lads .
You guys do amazing work.
the bolts shearing off he turret ring saved it from being bent or deformed beyond repair. The thickness of the steel of the turret itself, would not even keep out a 50cal BMG projectile or the anti tank rifles of the 1930's.
I wish my workplace had a Panther tank cupola just laying around in the back. 😄
A good mallet, aka persuader, works miracles 😊
Best day of the week Workshop Wednesday!!
Those 10 8mm bolts holding the ring to the turret still fared better than the bolts holding the ring to the hull.
Just found this channel, you guys are amazing!
Pulling out those ball bearings reminds me of pulling out bot flies.
Oh Balls!!! Nice work lads!
Great work Daryl ! What a ball-ache lolz
You should bag up that 80 year old grease from the turret ring and sell it in the museum. Would help keep the boys in beer for a bit. Good work as usual.
I love the lower case c business 😂
I would recommend using a lead hammer. Doesn't damage the surface or the parts but doesn't dampen the impact like the plastic hammer does
Get the jet wash in!
Love the videos, and very nice to see you all make these old rusty parts back to glorious historical tanks.
Maybe if you have time during the video editing it might be fun to explain why you do stuff. Like the heating and rapid cooling, what do you hope will happen.
Hi Kurt, still have to say love the music selection. Would love you to release/ or pass on all the music from this fantastic series.
8.58, there is a nice early tiger tank commander hatch !!!
That is why ball bearing factories were a prime target. Big machines ran on loads of balls.
On the job training for old armour! Go Darryl
good old Daryl!
Heat always wins. Heat / Quench / Repeat

Yes, but it is German. Why is it not over engineered?😊
Best way pop it out of main assembly
Last week I saw a vid of a german tank factory making panzers
Watching Daryl reverse engineer the disassembly of the race was awesome.
I wonder if the old ball bearings will be reused, or replaced with new ones?
Thanks.
Excellent
Thanks :)
Cool 😎
Погон башни специально мощнее болтов. Если что - болты сорвутся а погон не поведет.

Hans and Rolf at the Panzer plant were firm believers in the Russian doll method of turret ring assembly.
Daryl had trouble getting he's bearing doing this job
Surfer shorts in the back sweeping up lol
The smaller bearings are probably just spacers for the actual bearings
🦾🦾🦾🖤 super video Panzer 2 🖤diky Marťas.

I think I would try some sponge plastic in margarine tub to wipe off grease from screwdriver.
Mmmmm German metal grapes
Persistence wins out Daryl!

Holy balls!
Workshop Whensszzzzdai!
The 8mm bolts are sufficient, since the turret is "held" on by its 700kg x Gravity.
Mr. DARYL hasn't been defeated by a turret ring yet!

And nobody rocks the the Roy Orbison glasses like Mr. DARYL.
What impresses me most is not once do you hear any of the guys say “c’mon, you sunuva…..” or other words to that effect. XD
Great video.
Question - What was the hatch in the middle of the turret ring during the video?
You need some Ardrox 1812.
AMAZING and Daryl has beautiful legs.
🇺🇸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥰👍🏻🫵🏼
😎👍
Is that a King Tiger or Panther Commanders Cupola in the background?????
Panther 😉
Saw that it peaked my curiosity.. perhaps another display turret?
Darrel, the "NOW" tooth extractor!
Actully you put a large washer over the broken bolt weld inside the washer to the broken bolt it and the you weld the outside of the nut to the washer
