A question for the lads. My Jeep Cherokee 4.0 when it's warmed up and running it has four PSI of oil pressure. Is that good by Russian standards or do I need to do something?
my first thought when i see Adam, is i smile and think we're going to have fun today but then remember, every day is fun with Joe, Seb and Jack, and others
Awesome news. That cramped turret ensures crewman will be spoiling for a fight. I'm guessing, with a hobby like this, all mishaps end in favor of the tank.
On a T55, that vertical part on the back of the turret where it meets the engine decking is the spot where you apply the LAW missle. It makes everybody inside the tank tickle a bit and the road wheels leave the hull flying sidways.
Ha - and an M109-A3 - had one of those too. Batteries were a constant pain. And I feel you when you said "everything is broken" - usually had the same problem when off to a show!
Ex T55 commander here: I served in the East-German army as a tank commander. In this position we also had to obtain the license to drive it and at least partially trained the driver mechanics for maintenance and smaller repairs: Here is some advice: 1.) Never start your T55 engine until you preheated the water and the oil (min. 40dgr. C in summer, 60dgr.C). The preheater is located between fighting compartment and the driver. The lonely crank belongs to the preheater. Open the flap at the hull bottom, warm up the ignition element up and start to crank the preheater. A flame must kicking out at the bottom and then burn rhythmically while you're cranking. Takes about 10 to 20 minutes to reach oil temp. This exercise sucks and makes you sweat. If you don't do this you might burst an oil hose or joint open and ALL the oil is inside the engine compartment. Looks like the people before you already f...d this one up. It also will shorten the lifetime of all the moving components within the V12. 2.) Clean the airfilter by washing it out with lots - I mean LOTS - of acetone, dry it and put it back. Do it in the open with a mask, a fire distinguisher at hand and suitable cloth to stay safe and healthy. 3.) Never drive off with the main clutch. All T34s all the way up to the T62 their drive train is basically identically (besides the different orientation inside the engine compartment). When the main clutch and the gearbox lever system was properly aligned, it was great fun to drive those tanks, as long as you knew how to handle the double-clutch procedure for the non-synchro gears. We blasted through heavy terrain and the typical standard drive elements like steep and deep ditches. Shifting gears up and down with almost ease. Here is the rough guide for the T34 and T55 models 1st gear: Only in very heavy terrain, to tow or climb 2nd gear: For driving off, attack with infantry on your side, underwater crawl 3rd gear: tanks only attack without infantry 4th gear: cross country march (5th gear - if fitted): fast marches on paved roads, tank is very hard to steer as it has a tendency to skid off while steering Driving off, here is how it works: Driving off is never ever done with the main clutch, instead the two steering levers are pulled into stop position, 2nd gear in with clutch fully (!) pressed, clutch released (tank is still not moving but starts to shiver since the side planet gears are spinning heavily) and then push the levers slowly into pos.1 the side gears left/right are now engaging into 1:2 ratio. Tank starts to move. Now full acceleration to rev up the engine, then push the two levers gently into the 2nd position (ratio 1:1). Accelerate again to the max and then gear shift up with double-clutching. This is the way basically how you drive it. If you drive off the tank with the main clutch like a car (it will drive off) your main clutch wears out very very quickly. Also make sure that the main clutch is always opening 100% with the clutch pedal fully pressed for the very same reason. I drove these tanks. Soviet armour wasn't as bad as many people claim. Their tanks in the 1940-1960s were excellent and feared by NATO. For very good reasons. Peace! from Dresden / Germany PS: One more thing: ALWAYS close hatches when you cable-tow tanks. If these big tank towing cables snap - and they do - these cables will smash ANYTHIN and EVERYONE to pulp. Which is why everyone far away and the crews in the tanks all hatches closed! We had nasty accidents killing comrades! What these tractor-pulling guys are doing is very entertaining but also suicidal. You guys stay safe!
Seems like a lot of fun working on tanks.... Cramped, heavy, oily and dirty.... What´s not to love! 😊That T-55 clearly shows off the Soviets/ruzzians priority on crew ergonomics! 😁
Great work on the Cheffy you sent to the States...would love to own one myself. Enjoyed my time commanding them during my service. Great stuff, you guys do...love the vids.
Joe you and the boys are a fucking riot 🤣🤣🤣 I imagine spending one afternoon with you lot would cure any depression also give Jack a day off he’he is a bit sleepy bless him 🤣👍
I rode the NC 500 from SE Scotland on my Classic 350, 1100 miles in total in 3 days and first day was 435 miles on stock saddle, never has such a comfortable motorbike 😁👍 2 weeks later I road to Skye to rv with partner in the van, again super comfortable and well over 100mpg cruising at 60mph, You can definitely tour on a Classic 350 😁👍👍👍 Cheers Bruce
Honestly, guys, it’s not Greta you should be having a pop at. She’s a nice kid, with asd, who’s been turned into a weapon by unscrupulous eco mentalist adults that should be jailed for child abuse. She needs the proper help, not being pilloried.
The Centurion dragging that sled like it's not even there is brilliant. And when the T55 was emerging from the shed I saw the silver Merc and I thought "you might want to move that". And yep, sure enough. Everything within 20 feet gets an oil coating. No matter the contest, tank wins every time.
I was at the show on Sunday. We had a brilliant time. I tried to say hello to the Hewes crew, but they were so busy. This was my first time at the show, and it will be one of my go-to shows now.
What is so funny about the tractor pulling, just imagine what would happen if some "Just stop the oil" demonstrators spotted the clouds of diesel smoke and decided to come in and do their thing, ha ha ha! That would be worth a video!!!!
All that exhaust smoke... that's the ozone layer gone, I'm sure if Greta wasn't having her collar felt in Norway she would be here giving you her support for the sterling job you are doing for The heavy model life-size collecters tank brigade.
Why are there no smoke like the T 55 like Master Milo ? Is this one some newer ?(not that old and don't use the oil button🤣 ) Greats from the Netherlands .
Get a direct line with Mastermilo from Holland. He has two of these and knows every nut and bolt of them. He's a friendly open person so he will be most happy to help. There even might be a great collab in it for your two channels...
Greetings from the Canadian Prairies, 🌾 Nothing can’t be overcome with the use of a bigger hammer!! Lol😂 OMG!! Greta is going to throw a fit over all them blue smokers
6:30 that's not the remains of the old alternator belt , that's Mable's old stocks they used when the alternator belt broke . They don't make stockings like they used to , back then life was a challenge when the stockings were made tank proof !!! .
6:30 So Adam has developed a system to turn drive belts into baling twine? That’s awesome, how do you get the orange coloring into it? No, second thoughts I don’t want to know..

The debauchery of this channel is epic and makes any Monday worth living.
Pure filth.
Agreed.
Yes swearing and saying things like shit 🤦♂️brilliant
I like how it turns out that in their military vehicle community, the Hewes crew are the quiet well-mannered ones.
Oh, now I NEED to hear the other ones. Names?
Shhhhhh, don’t tell them that. 😂
Now we know why the Hewes crew is the only ones with a You Tube channel. The others would be kicked off before they even got started.
😂

Now THIS is the Britain I wouldn't mind visiting... men in BIG sheds playing with big bits of metal.
sadly rest of Britain is the reason I wont step a foot in it.
I love this channel . Big boys with their toys. And plenty of sense of humour mixed in. Well done guys
You know it. Guys don't grow up; they just get bigger toys. ;)
I drove a Czech T-55M in ChCh, NZ some years ago. This brings back memories. 👍
my first thought when i see Adam, is i smile and think we're going to have fun today
but then remember, every day is fun with Joe, Seb and Jack, and others
Awesome news. That cramped turret ensures crewman will be spoiling for a fight. I'm guessing, with a hobby like this, all mishaps end in favor of the tank.
Love how you jump straight in to the engine compartment and sort shit out ! Top job lads.......😎🇬🇧👍

Well done Mr Hewes and Co, I love his channel it lifts my Spirit, 🙃🤣🤣
Too much fun!!! Great episode Joe!!!
Seems like a lot of fun working on tanks.... Cramped, heavy, oily and dirty.... What´s not to love! 😊That T-55 clearly shows off the Soviets/ruzzians priority on crew ergonomics! 😁
That is an excellent demonstration of modern ploughing techniques using four tractors....
Great work on the Cheffy you sent to the States...would love to own one myself. Enjoyed my time commanding them during my service. Great stuff, you guys do...love the vids.
seeing the old CET takes me back to building them at the gun factory Nottingham in the late 1970's great vlogs by the way
The "smoke shield" in the 55 is great haha
And a jolly good time was had by all, you have turned a childish hobby into a business
👌👍
Success in life is to be happy and have a laugh
Nice mullets!!! 😃👍🏻
Business in the front, party in the rear!!!! LOL
Hope that new motor is solid.
25:48 what am I even watching. It's glorious. More yobbery please and thank you!
I'm impressed that you managed to find a CET in running order.
🤣🤣 we were all gobsmacked 😶
Joe you and the boys are a fucking riot 🤣🤣🤣 I imagine spending one afternoon with you lot would cure any depression also give Jack a day off he’he is a bit sleepy bless him 🤣👍

Thought i could hear Greta crying during the tractor pull. love it .looks like you had a laugh and bagged a replacement t34 engine.Nice work guys.
Every time Greta becomes agitated, cries, or otherwise becomes emotionally unhinged makes me smile and brightens my day
@@gullreefclubselfish redneck
@@gullreefclub You sound like a nice bloke

@@duncancremin1708tough shit
Good coverage guys, I would have liked the t55 and centurion to take home aswell
Just using the sled as a grader when it’s at the back of the tank 😂😂😂
Best tractor pulling I’ve seen in years ,keep up the good work lads 👍
18:21 it certainly helps to use the universal tool the correct way around. 😅 My favourite are the bahco ones, nice flat hammering edge.
This has to be the best channel on RUclips!!
At least your never going to be bitten my gnats with a T-55 around.
Maybe rent it out to fencing contractors to 'creosote' fences? 🤣
I used to have a Triumph Herald that burnt oil like that T -55. Marvellous!
The Centurion dragging that sled like it's not even there is brilliant.
And when the T55 was emerging from the shed I saw the silver Merc and I thought "you might want to move that". And yep, sure enough. Everything within 20 feet gets an oil coating.
No matter the contest, tank wins every time.
A great noisy day for you guys having great fun as usual 😅👍👍👍👍
I think Jack needs a new pair of them safety trainers ? .
He is waiting for Mothercares new steel-toed range to come out.
Great fun as per usual , top shenanigans all round , excellent video !
Brilliant video , i do enjoy them as you can probably tell , so does Mable by the way . Thank you 🙂
I was at the show on Sunday. We had a brilliant time. I tried to say hello to the Hewes crew, but they were so busy. This was my first time at the show, and it will be one of my go-to shows now.
😂 Best title ever 😂 If I see any of them blocking the roads i'll be sat there at 3000rpm wishing they wasn't a rev limiter on a VW 😆
Wondering when Putin is going to give a call and say this T-55 historically was the property of the USSR and he needs them back, urgently! 😂
Да,никогда! Так что не бойтесь ребятки и спокойно играйтесь с этим танком.
Nice M35-A2C. I used to have one of those - damn, I miss it....
i put my diamond t on the sled friday night while it was dry, shame it was such a wet weekend. was looking forward to a few more pulls.
It seems to me that to work on tanks, you have to be short, skinny and immensely strong.
Doesn't hurt to be a contortionist either.
@@bborkzillathats just engines in general lol😂 with cars its the same
My driver in Warriors was an ex stable lad from a racing yard. Ideal!
What is so funny about the tractor pulling, just imagine what would happen if some "Just stop the oil" demonstrators spotted the clouds of diesel smoke and decided to come in and do their thing, ha ha ha! That would be worth a video!!!!

"Looks like it's been made by a farmer"
So a legit T55 then 👍
😂😂 we wont ring him now so he can get it at the same time. 😂😂 savages
Why are there no smoke like the T 55 like Master Milo ? Is this one some newer ?(not that old and don't use the oil button🤣 ) Greats from the Netherlands .
These guys are living life.
Great video, good to see you burning a drop of fuel. 👏👏👏
4:53 How nice! It even got a blown diffusor! They thought of everything back in the day.
What type of adjustable spanner should I buy Joe, Imperial or Metric? 😁
Left handed
Gender neutral
Bipolar
I swear Adam wears the same rugby shirt in every video 🤣
His wardrobe is like Bart Simpson
Get a direct line with Mastermilo from Holland. He has two of these and knows every nut and bolt of them. He's a friendly open person so he will be most happy to help. There even might be a great collab in it for your two channels...
They regular speak to him when they need to, they mentioned it in comments last video
great video - cracking news on the 34 engine
Glad u took my advice on the Tank Hub shirts!! gotta have them available for merch!! ill defo buy one!
Fitter Matt sells them
Early morning laugh session Lads great video " Smoke Button" :)
fogging the area around the tank as part of the tactic is done by injecting fuel directly into the hot exhaust, if I remember correctly..
The level of elaboration of the tractor pull they've done a heck of a lot of tractor pulls
I can't believe you didn't do a Tug 'o war with all those tractors vs a tank!
That engineering vehicle with the front loader blade would get through a Just Stop Oil protest .
You got my like just from the title alone
There was me thinking that T55 seems to burn cleaner than Master Milo's!
Whoah they have a spare DShK machine gun? Mastermilo still needs one for the T69.
Nice find.
Those majors 😂😂💪
Not much thought of crew comfort in 60 tons of steel!😂
You should have attached those for to the tank. That would have been interesting.😅😅😅😅
few years back i saw a pristine T-55 being sold in Ebay here in California from a tank collection, wish i could of afford it
Greetings from the Canadian Prairies, 🌾
Nothing can’t be overcome with the use of a bigger hammer!! Lol😂 OMG!! Greta is going to throw a fit over all them blue smokers
They have a bloody Stormer?! I served on those when I was in the Army...
How the hell do you get hold of a t55 with a DSHK on top and a round in the breech 😂
27:19 mins of pure joy, thanks chaps!
Awesome video thanks lads 😅😊
6:30 that's not the remains of the old alternator belt , that's Mable's old stocks they used when the alternator belt broke . They don't make stockings like they used to , back then life was a challenge when the stockings were made tank proof !!! .
Having too much fun love it❤👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
That tractor won't rust for a while ;-DD
So a T34 has a transverse mounted engine?😮
The crews must’ve been black n blue from all the bumps in that cab. Ouch!
Reminds me of cold starting CR2 in the hangers.....Jesus the thickness of the smoke
Looks like you had a great fews days out nice video joe.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏼🏴☠️✌🏼😀
16:48 the smell of unfiltered and uncleaned diesel exhaust must be incredible💪👍😋
That poor little tractor was certainly well lubricated after that shower of oil.
Tut tut! Not wearing a seat belt whilst travelling in the back of the HiLux.
Gayyyy
@@MrHewes the noughties have called and want their insult back😁😁😁
Master Milo's T-55 spews smoke as well
You lot and a tank it’s such a good laugh!
is that a centurion next to the t55? interesting to see the differnec in height
6:30 So Adam has developed a system to turn drive belts into baling twine? That’s awesome, how do you get the orange coloring into it? No, second thoughts I don’t want to know..
And a play in the greasy mud..😂😂👍
The display of snazzy new haircuts evident in this video is beyond description.
Great video what show was the tractor pulling at. Looks very wet and muddy
Tank officer? No this is a farm vehicle XD
The steely psycho look into the camera at 4:24 mins 😂😂
Hi as an ex chieftain crewman, did you do anything to the concrete chieftains running gear?
I’m amazed they don’t seem to be seized
I read that crewing Russian tanks is very tiring cos very little space inside.
swear to god, if the UK ever had to reproduce the Home Guard, there'd be an armor battalion stood up overnight
Who are the mullet guys! 😂 😂 😂
Legends
Simon Le Bon fixes trucks. Who knew?
I seem to remember Master Milo's Russian tank blowing vast amounts of smoke as well despite many attempted fixes.
Greta has just keeled over 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀👍👍👍👍👍👍
Those 3 tractors pulling the sled, had me laughing like a drain 😂🤣.
Greta said she digs it ……. 😎🤣
