Welcome To Survival-Russia. One of the very best Outdoors and Survival related communities on RUclips, and yes, It's a pretty good Channel too :)
My name is Lars. I'm From Denmark but I live in Rural Russia now. I live at a Homestead in wild nature surrounded by a huge forest.
On The Survival-Russia channel we do all things related to the Outdoors Lifestyle. I share my thoughts and experiences on Survival Techniques for the woodlands of the Northern Hemisphere. the Reality of Survival. I share Techniques and ways of the Siberian Tribesmen and the Russian Longhunters of the older days. Things not shown outside of Russia very much.
On this Channel we also do Off-Road driving, Vehicle builds, Metal Detecting, all things Outdoors basically. Enjoy!
"Why is the Army pulling into the School Yard?"
"That's not the Army, that's just Lars picking up his Kids. His Wife must be in Moscow again".
HAHAHAHA. You aint wrong
It's all fun and games until Dad starts getting Mom worked up.
Really like the fact that you give bare bones explanations of the issues so it makes sense....too many youtubers get far too technical, and thus almost seem like they're looking down their nose at their viewers....
Well done Lars! Now, build an insulated shell for the back, add a cot, food storage, micro wood stove and you're good to go! Greeting from Northern California.
At about 3:25 you used the expression " good enough for government work". I learned that expression about 45 years ago as a first year apprentice and I'm curious about whether it is something that you have adopted from our culture in the USA or if it is a common Danish or Russian expression. Little things like this catch my attention and I have to ask about them, even though they are not an important part of the video. I love your new toy, by the way, and hope to see a cannon of some kind mounted on it in the future, LOL.
I saw a video recently about our US Army revamping its mountain and arctic tactics. Part of the equipment upgrade involves skis that have a synthetic material on the bottom that does what the beaver fur does on your Hunter skies. I was glad that I understood the concept from watching your channel. Keep up the good work!!
YAY you're off!! so excited for you and what a maiden voyage.. well at least you made mrs Russia laugh :)
Your track tension looks loose...there should be a big adjustment nut on a screw that moves forwards and back to tighten or loose tension near the idler wheel..your going to need a big wrench to tighten it up
You turns into some kind of syberian Academeg :D Best wishes. Hope you will fix that tracks problem soon.
Lars!!! Super aaaawesome to see it moving!!! A little bit of a learning curve to reversing and driving though, huh?
G'day Lars, Awesome! Outstanding! You, apparently, are a good tank driver as you understand that when you are turning a large tracked vehicle it's best not to have one whole track totally stationary; it must move a little; or you run the risk of a track coming off. At least that's what tanker mates tell me. If you want an expert opinion please send a copy of your video to Mr Nicholas Moran, an ex-US Army tank commander who has a RUclips channel called The_Chieftain. He's also on the World of Tanks North American RUclips channel. He is a total tank and tracked vehicle expert and he'd be able to help you, I'm sure. He's a good man. You can contact him at Twitter on: @ChieftainWG
Fantastic to see The Gator hit the road. One thing I never thought of about this wonderful project is: when a tank breaks down you generally need another tank to pull it out of trouble. Lucky you've got a dozer!
All the best, mate and say G'day to all your mates and special thanks to Mrs SR who did great again as your camera person! Cheers, BH
That thing is bad ass!
Give the tracks some WD 40 and they will be all right.
Diesel will be fine for the track to work it loose. I'm sure there are many zerks on that machine that need grease too.
Push over a small tree for me ! thumbs up.
hahah, yarrhh!
Also when you turn around in a full circle like that be careful. once spring hits you could build up dirt then drive the track off the main drive sprocket. i know in the abrams its a constant problem. try turning then drive straight for a second then do more turning so it dissipates the dirt
Nice to hear Mrs Survival Russia / Camera Woman Russia laugh as you were going down the snow road. Great project and I hope it works awesome for you. Thank you for sharing.
my thought too. she seems to share in the enthusiasm.
@@Ecosse57 unless he was about to hit the truck :D
amazing russian engineering, i thought it's gonna be years before i see that thing moving...... btw, can you buys ex russian army BTR-50 or BMP-2?
The thing is a tank, might be useful for hauling lumber out of the swampy tundra. It looks like a community project.
"Heellllo, Triple A, Russia, and how can we help you today? What!?!? No, Mr Funky Stuff, we do not have a tank recovery unit!"
I don't know what your jack situation is but if you can block the whole vehicle off the ground and just let it run with the tracks Running Free that would be an easy way to loosen up stiff tracks.
When we drove the old Ropkey Museum tanks we always did are turns in several
"bites" instead of dragging the track all the way around the turn. It lessons the bind on the tracks and keeps the tracks from coming off especially if they were old and loose.
Good luck!
Thank you very much for the info buddy :)
Zdrasvweetye Tovareesch. I was section chief in a Lance Missile Firing platoon stationed in West Germany in 70's and 80's.
Our missile launcher was based on the US Army M-113 armored personnel carrier. Our tracked vehicle also had the
" Drive Sprocket " in the front. It looked to me that the track tension needs to be tightened on your vehicle. Loose track tension
is causing the tracks to curl under the drive sprocket.
We would tighten our track tension by pumping grease into a cylinder at the rear that extended the Idler wheel which was the last wheel at the rear.
You may adjust track tension differently. Removing individual tracks for example. Be careful because you could throw a track with tension that loose.
Good luck.
PS I am happy I never had to launch a nuclear missile at you haha.
Use automatic transmission fluid in a spray bottle and spray all the joints then grease up the main drive wheels
mix vegetable oil with white spirit (paint thinner) in a 10 parts veg oil to 1 part white spirit this make just about the best penetrating oil, give your track pins a good soaking in this
Also sounds like a more biodegradable stuff to get everywhere than diesel and other suggestions.
@@adymode Yeah I like this too. I realize that spreading a lil diesel in the wilderness isn't a big deal but that's the mindset that got all our populated areas so polluted. I suppose "The Englishman" may know this best.
Ya the right side track is way too loose and is pinching at the front. Great video. You are living my dream. Awesome stuff!
I wonder if the a.c. works?
@@robertbeckler5058 It's always working lol
MOB 6 hours ago, "Ya the right side track is way too loose and is pinching at the front. ..."
I am no scholar, but I too thought the right side might have too much slack. Maybe COUNT THE LINKS ON EACH SIDE. Maybe if they are different, (extra link or two on the right side) might reveal the solution. Much enjoyed.
After-thought. Don't want to tighten tracks too much. May break! Maybe tracks lengthen and shorten with HEAT. Maybe like a CHAIN-SAW, goes slack with heat and running, and tightens again as it cools. My chainsaw: I'd tighten it cold, and oil it right away, run it some, oiling periodically, would work fine, but if I forgot oiling, the chain would slack more and more, until I'd re oil it, it would cool while running, and again snug down. I would hate to have to snug down the chain hot to finish the job, but usually the chain would have less friction when oiled and so be able to cool down. Again, I'm no scholar, and I'm sure others could better explain their experience with large track driven devices and heat , if that is relevant. Lars, enjoy the videos.
@@robertbeckler5058 Was hoping the heater works at least a little bit and hopfully the monster has a block heater in it or he'll have to build a fire under to start it in the winter....
It needs *the log* !
Of course you get stranded when you try to drive a russian tank without the obligatory *log* strapped to it somewhere!
I´m not even kidding.
The track is loose. American tanks have a what looks like a hydraulic cylinder with a greese fitting .when you pump in greese it tightenes track . Oil bath air filters only need fresh oil nothing else needs replacing . Also driving with loose track will allow track to come off ( This isn't any fun at all ) good luck with it
Show me your license and insurance, sir. Ok, now your medicine kit. Ok. Now show me your obligatory log, please. Oh no, Sir, I'm sorry but ..:)

YESS!
The 5th wheel from the front (2nd from the back) on the driver's side (the rusty one) looks like it's riding slightly higher than the others. You may want to examine the suspension there and make sure everything is okay with the arm/torsion bar.
Thank you!
Lars try oiling the rubber on the cogs, the links and the star as well; it would appear the rubber combined with the rust/stiffness of the tracks is causing them to bind; keep up the amazing videos 😊😎
A good use for the funky fuel he drained!
The tracks need to be adjusted to take the slack out or you run the risk of breaking them.
And you ned a rear camera on that beast 😁
I felt like reliving The Cold War all over again, when you drove of, into the snow 😀
Do a check of the belt tension mekanism !!!
Very true :)
rear camera and a curved led light modell längre on the roof :)
I want to thank you Lars for the insight into survival living you share with all of us. I have introduced the Siberian log fire to my friends...needless to say, it was quite the hit on our weekend hog hunt. Safe travels and thanks for letting us tag along.
EVERYTHING can get fixed what has no electronic and computer control. I should know it, i have had driven Citroen 2CV...during my army service. Hehehe
I use cut pieces of drill bits to make those pins for the shifter and stuff.
Just a word of caution, drill bits are generally crap material for pins. drill bits by nature need to be made of a hardened brittle metal either high speed steel or carbide. Being brittle they sheer really easily. you want a more ductile steel for that kinda thing. This is especially true when you're talking about -30.C+ temperatures when metal is already more brittle. If a drill bit really is all you've got, might be an idea to anneal it by heating it till cherry red and letting it cool down slowly.
The flutes can be brittle but not the shanks. Been using them for 40 years and have yet to shear one. I pretty much had to to get a slightly oversize pin as the holes are often wallowed out.
So was the Scotch 12 or 18 years old? Why was Scotch used in the repair instead of Vodka? :D
Seriously Lars I'm glad you got it running and have a bigger toy to bring along more FRIENDS! I see many great adventures ahead for SR!
Great toy! I want one! Your wife has a nice laugh.
Repeat after me: "MUST NOT DO STUFF OFF CAMERA..."
See if you have spots to bolt on rubber pads or if you cant afford them cut chunks of thick tire rubber and bolt them on so you can drive on the road without damaging the road surface my tracks destroy asphalt
Good job getting the young guys involved with the project.
Not too many bugs! Great to see it moving.
It should not be too complicated to fix it up.
I loved it! Thanks for the ride! Glad you got it going and that the shifting issue wasn't too serious.
they stretch as crazy as it sounds well they did on my tank anyway
"Stretch" is perhaps not the best term for an increase in length, due to wear of pins and links. It is easy to see with cylindrical pin roller chain by comparing the curvature of a new and old chain under a sideways moment. No doubt, metal deformation is also a component but I am guessing it is very small compared to metal wearing away. Eh, maybe a Tanker could give me a few pointers on armoring a few of my bicycles so I can better share the road with the cell phone drivers.
Got The Beast To Start And Run! Congratulations! You Got A Mighty Fine Vehicle Right There! You Got A Good Grew Right There! Thank You For The Video!
The funky laughter from Mrs survival Russia makes this video extra awesome! :-)
That vehicle is so cool! Glad you didn't kill the big white toolbox!
LOL!! Yeah, NOT the Big White Toolbox!!
"""" STOP""""" .. hahaha
Tracked Expedition Vehicle needs stereo and subwoofers!
In Soviet Russia, tank drives you!
Thank God that is NOT Soviet Russia!
Congratulations Lars, I'm sure there's still a big list of things to do, but at least you know the major systems function and you didn't buy a big green tracked box full of the previous owners' problems!
At the back of the vehicle there should be track slack adjusters. They are probably inside bed at rear and have covers over them and there should be an adjusting tool that came with the vehicle. You pull the covers, loosen the lock bolts then use the adjuring tool to draw the drive sprocket assembly forward of back to loosen or tighten the track assembly as need be. Hope this helps.
You want the tracks to be equal in slack. not as much as at present, another thing is to watch the cogs on as you call it star are not worn .
A good welder can build worn cogs t
back to correct height. Different slack means one track is actually traveling at different speed than opposite side which will cause tension on drivers.
It is about same stress effect as if on your car by having a taller tire on one side than other.
That large amount of slack can cause a thrown track, and that is an SOB job to get back on.
You can check for slack of each roller with a tall truck hand jack, by running front up onto say 2 o r 3 three foot stump, stop, and this will let slack hang on bottom.
Use large homemade thick wood wswedges pounded say two rollers apart to get tracks upper weight of two rollers..
You may get away with long prybar fro. behind or under to see if it wobbles or not.
Worn bearings or races , hopefully not housings, although hard to weld repair is possible to inner housing or drill and weld insert.
Getting slack may allow pull and repair of rollers.
Way to check drivers wear is to paint inch wide line, or three inchtriangle wide to point in center to both back and front cogs both at same verticals a doe and drive with some ones walking and wetching to see any odd movement differences and triangle placement at stop.
Old but crude job.
Pulling track cleats is another SOB job, and not a one man feat except in dire circumstances, we have used two seperate 2 ton + large wheeled engine pullers
to ease operations
at stop, after traveling on a hard flat surface a few revolutions each.
You are going to have one heck of a fine beast when done, and the "Gator " will eat up any chore thrown at it.
Were shift forks worn?
Lars, 2011: "Here's how you can make fire by rubbing sticks together."
Lars, 2019: "Let's drive this tank I just bought..."
_* sniff *_ They grow up so fast!
LOL!
Got to drive a bit. Bust loose some rust and cobwebs. As well as getting your hands dirty completing a successful repair. That's a good day in my book. Awesome.
Taking the local boys for a ride.....you must be the coolest Dad on the planet
Everything needs grease.! Especially the bearing. Great update, and I thank you for sharing.
Great! New videeoo! I was expecting this, is only channel from witch i have notification on! ---please take EXTRA CARE of the blue ninjas with this monster in the yard ---
Thank you :)
Who knows what will happen if they start driving!!! You have smart kids!!!
Based on the recommendations I'm seeing in the comments you should just drive the thing through a giant puddle of oil and grease.
“Good enough for government work”, we use that for work done here in the States on occasion. Nice to see we are on the same page and yet so far away.
Awesome vid !
You may know this, but your tracks might be a bit loose, to adjust that look to the rear and you might see a tubular shaped (shock) thing with a grease nipple. Pump that full of grease according to specs 👍🏼. On the front “drive sprockets” look for wear indicators as eventually they wear out, the last thing you want to do is throw a track ! UGH !!.....As well ! There is more than likely grease nipples everywhere (make sure they don’t dry out).....I do not miss track maintenance. Enjoy the Gator 🤙🏼
I'd recommend dropping a link of each side and see if that helps.
Or just adjust the idle wheels.... Removing links is a long and time consuming job.
removing links is bad. tracks don't stretch or grow over time, if you've got loose links you probably have an issue with the suspension
*FEMINIST WARNING* : ...................... 10:30 man-spreading...
LOL :)
HAHAHAHA!!!!!! I had to stop the video to make this comment.
Did you say " This should be good enough for government work " ?
Haha....we used to say that when i was serving in the US Army in the 70's and 80's.
Was that a saying in the Russian Army as well?
Cpocebo tovareesch
ATF automatic transmission fluid works really well for breaking rusted parts free. put some on the parts you want to free up and let it sit overnight or so. Should loosen up while you drive around your property testing it. Great to see everything works so far. Next you have to check to see if the heater works... lol Thanks for taking us along Lars
NOW THERE'S A VEHICLE TO TAKE TO A FAMILY PICNIC IN THE PARK. JUST PULL UP ON THE GRASS, DROP OF THE FAMILY, SPREAD THE BLANKET, SET UP THE BBQ. NOBODY WILL NOTICE
A Dane, wearing finish hat and socks, living close to a gulag in the middle of siberia and drives a tank, now if that's not a recipe for awesome i dont know what is! xD
Oh no, much new and interesting content! Expedition vehicle maintenance and operation videos, oh yeah.
ATF diesel mix poured on linkages will act as penetrating oil.
Cliff Ryden That’s what penetrating oil is as i was told. Is that correct?
@@mystuff1405 pretty much.
Just started watching your videos and really enjoy them. Best to y'all from Texas.
Lars , thanks for sharing, awesome to watch the gator go . I knew you would get it home 👍😆 so glad you didn't back over your white " toolbox " 😉
The 'white toolbox' probably flew right over people's heads. Good one, lol.
Amazing how fast you were moving for a while. Looks like it can spin around and do a comple 360 degrees, too. I too noticed the right track seemed a little loose. I also noticed you got the optional sun roof, lol. Awesome job getting it running, my friend.
And there's nothing that can't be fixed with a little Scotch, and some tape. Right on man.
WD40 need to increase production for Russian market.
Very popular thing in Russia, actually. Probably every small housholding shop has it.
That was cool ride, uncle Lars.)
you need too drop a link on both sides of the track its loose
red88ization absolutely loose tracks any one can see that ?
U dont think needs it for suspension?
@@kikkerbare no
It did look loose a few times, but for the most it looked fine, ide definately look into it
Just thinking everything is oem, but maybe they can stretch with time, not saying your right or wrong
Lars ,do the track cleats have a grease fitting on each link pin?
No :)
Could they be sealed pins containing oil lubricant?
Really cool man! Have an amazing Sunday, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
I am so envious! That thing is so cool! I'd want one just to park it in my front yard,.....my neighbors would be so jealous!!
Haha! Mrs SR says “STOP”! That’s a sound I’m familiar with around here 😆
Every track has 2 sets of bushings and 2 sets of bolts on each side as the bolts and bushings wear you will get more and more play times the 200 plus bolts and bushings adds up to alot of slop the bushings are maintenance parts and can be replaced same as the bolts at least that is how new tracks operate they are able to be maintained
Or remove links but always save your links for when you eventually will break one
This video stressed me out. Relief came when the shifter got fixed. Great video
Does any other outdoors channel on RUclips have a vehicle like this? I don't think so? 😀 You should install some sort of weapons system and try to invade a smaller non aligned country, just for the fun of it 😁
Just for the hell of it :)
Check the wear on the Drive Sprochets, the teeth are too sharp; and some diesel on the tracks wouldn't hurt. . . Nice Toy!!!
Boss looks hurt, can see him limping in the video. May want to check his front paws, Lars.
This is just how he walks. Really. There is nothing wrong with, as he runs around a barks constantly. Especially after dark. He most likely runs 10-15 km per day :) Every day.
Tank you for the vid!
Grease Everything! Look for a track adjuster because that's how you set track tension.
13BRAVO REDLEG Thought there should be a track tension device.

good thing you found about this problem now instead of during a longer trip with it and no one handy to help you out
For sure!
Put some oil ( i don't know if Russian oil can freeze ) to the "links" have a lot oxidation on them .
I wouldn't sell your ski's yet!....Oh,...you restarted it. Great job, you always entertain me....Tra-la-la!....
You got yourself a huge project to work on.
aren't there tensioners at the non powered end of the track where you can move that end track wheel to tension the whole track correctly??
Awesome video! Absolutely a cool vehicle, can't wait till you take it on a trip.=) keep up the great work!
bla bla bla 1941 colorized
That was awesome, and I'm glad you got it fixed and back to the house. When it comes to the track, it probably just needs tightened. On my Bradley, we would tighten up the tracks adjusting the Idler wheel. You'll need to get plenty of grease for the drive sprocket, and the road wheels. Just hearing that sound of the tracks, brings back memories of my time in the Army. Congrats on the Gator, and have a great weekend.
Lars, you were lookin good behind the wheel !!... aaaah, levers, handles, joy sticks, driving mechanisms. 🤔😨😨😨😩 AWESOME video my friend!!👍👍
thats fucking awesome man !!!!!!! XD
so happy you guys were smart enough to fix her
GOOD JOB !!!!!! have fun and be safe :)
Another great Survival Russia video
Well Lars..........you are now your own armored corp! Haw!! AWESOME!!! >:-)
Way cool and awesome Lars, you will always get the naysayers so never worry about them. Good job on the Gator Lars despite any small issues you may encounter. Mrs SR got pretty excited when you almost backed into the white toolbox.cheers Fred
Bring us in on the track adjustment procedures. Could be stiff could be loose could be worn? Great test drive though, always have to work the bugs out and better there than in the middle of the forest. Of course that will happen too but hopefully by them you are familiar and prepared. Be Well
Lube,oil,grease everything, TLC,tighten tracks,nice unit.
That place is too flat.
*Survival Russia* If you heat up a metal bucket of oil (one way is to put it in a laundry tub of boiling water) and add a couple quarts of transmission fluid+ a few wax toilet rings, stir and apply to tracks it will penetrate and coat very well. The wax rings add a stickiness to the oil and it lasts a long time.
Timestamp: ~5:15. When the gator started moving. That clack-a-lacking noise. Your bother-in-law cracked a smile! Boss-Dog also approves, eh.
