    You want both of them, because yo will eventally need parts that you will no be able to source in the U.S.. Road wheels, track, hubs, idler arms, etc... also, there is a full walk around inspection to just check your fluids. each hub has an oil sight glass on each wheel. Your engine did't start right away because you didn't empty the water from the fuel from the separator. You also have gear boxes to check near each sprocket.... You need a UK version of a operators manual for both the driver's hatch and turret. Be careful with paint chips on that tank, it is called CARC paint and you don't want to inhale dust from it if you decide to sandblast it to repaint it .

    In the UK when these were done with service the army sold them with deactivated guns for a couple of grand, in perfect working order so people just bought them. After they started falling apart people just left them where they broke down so it's not overly uncommon to just see tanks on farms rotting away

    There’s a video from eight months ago where some Brits came to America to fix these. They were both broke down in fields. The one that runs, they changed the gear so act out and also fix the electrical problems in the fuel leak. That’s why it runs so good and moves. The other one ingested a lot of water in the air cleaner, went through the supercharger and locked up the motor. They went to Pennsylvania and a guy had motors and gear boxes and they left a video at that saying that they were going to ship the parts down to get the non running tank fixed. I’m guessing the owner gave up on it and didn’t wanna pay to get it fixed by those British guys.

      You are referring to Mr Hewes - has a channel showing the work he does restoring Tanks and the like - the Chieftain with a seized engine died because water got into the airfilter - no one did any ist parade checks and all that water was then pumped into the engine resulting in a hydraulic lock - engine needed replacing, no way Mr Hewes could do that in a different country with a bag of spanners.

    I spoke with the seller on these tanks when they were first listed. Think it was 128k they wanted for both tanks plus there is a container in PA I believe that has spare parts for them. The person that restored the one that's running is the same guy that restored WD's tank. If you want a good tank mechanic I know a damn good one in Arizona I am sure he'd love to turn wrenches on a tank again he's restored several. We were both 19kilo in the army

      the USA government used to operate on a freedom basis. Based on that concept of freedom that we no longer have, the only restricitions on tanks nationwide are dont drive on roads because they fck up the roads, too heavy, and you can't have a functioning gun breech. Other than that, you can have as many tanks as you want.

    Awesome if you do get them! Being an MBT crew member myself, I'd also recommend getting both of them if you have enough spare change in your pocket, becuase you are going to need to cannibalize the other one for spares. :D Be mentally prepared for constant work on the tank as well, in the army we do some type of inspections on our vehicles before we drive them, every time we stop and have time to and after we have driven them. Then there are the daily, weekly and monthly maintenances, all different and ranging in the scale and complexity.
