Doc Steve and company complete Part 3 with only one "Bleep." AMAZING JOB. Russian BMP Engineers watched in awe from the Afterlife as Steve does what no Australian car mechanic has ever done before, Puts the BMP back together again, with only one Bleep!
Strewth Steve! Only one bleepinwell bleep! I'd hate to wear out your bleepin bleep machine workin on the bleepin BMP! Does the 'B' in BMP stand for Bleep? Did you actually find the leak Steve? - Or was the mere act of diassembly then reassembly enough to clear where the leak was coming from?] - cos you retightened everything?
So cool you were able to hook up with M.Milo! Their Tank restoration on the T-69 was a 2 year process that took restoration of the most rust encrusted engine you have ever seen and they did most of it with hand tools and shop fabricated tools. Emile is a very cool dude!
Thanks again for another Workshop Friday. I never knew that dishwasher tabs could be used for radiator cleaning. Steve's use of the term "Squaddie" certainly dates him. Brilliant episode, Cheers
Really appreciate Steve not only sharing his thought process but also showing us how to actually operate the vehicle. These new episodes really expand the excellent RUclips material already provided by the museum. Fantastic effort by all to share what you are doing with the world. Well done Steve and thank you. 👏👏
Can't be many BMP-1's in private/museum ownership where most systems work. Everything will be so neat and neatly marked for future work. No quick "find a solution" but as close to the workshop manual as possible. Add in the nice work on the Panzer I and AusArmor has become my go-to channel in this area.
You should have put Dez and Jeff's tea mugs in the water drain bucket to wash them with the wash tab water. Being a tea drinker myself, I know they never really wash them. 😂 Don't mess with Phil or Beau's mugs. They might weld you to something.
Now on a battlefield you would get compliments on your fresh smelling battle taxi. Heard the Ukrainians put in an order for sunflower aroma so they can sneak up on the Orcies.
It’s great to see everyone come together who work on all these types of vehicles from all over the world. As for Aus armour the team are just priceless for all the vid and hard work you all put in Question when is Daryl’s tooth gonna get fixed. 😂
Just watching you drive, I can tell it's a fun one! Say what you want against the BMP-1 regarding its viability as a front-line combatant, at least there isn't a dull moment trundling it around!
Someone in our platoon tasked a young soldier with no 404's or significant experience with operating an M113 with moving one a short distance in the training area. He was all eager to get his chance. He was doing pretty good but he neglected to secure the latch to lock the driver's hatch fully open. He was wearing his bush cap and didn't the hatch pivot forward slowly under the spring pressure and clocked him on the crown of his head when he let up on the accellerator. Immediately he got a stunned look on his face and slowly dropped back into the M113 like a drunk Jack in the box for a moment. Ouch. For those who have not seen an M113 the drivers and crew commanders hatch have mighty torsion springs at the hinges to dampen the movement of the hatch so it does not slam shut every time. Lucky for our poor guy the torsion spring did its job to a degree.
Oh where was Steve guide to the controls 20 years ago when I was trying to figure out driving one of these in the early 00's... hooling around Salisbury plain in a BMP was so much fun and that clutch giving the bucking bronko effect is well remembered... great stuff
Liking these maintenance videos guys. Hope the recent bouts of COVID have moved on and you are getting over it ok, it wrecked me for the last couple of years
Steve, You have my utmost admiration and sympathy.. Dear God what a vile machine. Its like some group of mechanical nutters grabbed a big bag of bits and threw it together... after making sure every part was used to create a servicing nightmare. I think I would rather walk!
This is genius trouble shooting at its absolute best! My father was a mechanical/electrical/refrigeration trouble shooter in his day. Respect! Ya'll cannot produce enough of this superlative content to suit me! Also, Kudos to Kurt for outstanding editing and musical accompaniment.
I bet there's been a little oil in the coolant from the factory. I remember during my army conscription lying on my back on the bench in the back compartment while somebody else was having his driving lesson and it felt like being in a rowboat on the high seas😅
@@dennisp.2147 I remember once our battalion leader gave us a speech before training excercise. He said that ten years from now you'd pay money to get to do these things. He wasn't wrong on that one😁
Haha, more like a communist era committee design and cheapness. Back in that era the horrific quality of Soviet products was notorious in the eastern bloc countries. Luckily this BMP is Czechoslovak built, so somewhat better.
i dont know if you know it , but important thing about the BMP-1 brake system is the EMERGENCY AIR BRAKE system. when the bmp is not working , brakes wont work , stearing wheel wont work , so you have to have the system working for you to be able to stop . That needs : 1) the electrical system to be on and with power, 2) you have at least 50 air pressure, 3) the brake air valve works. it means that if you are pushing the brakes while in stop and with no handbrake and with power , you should hear a burst of air and the brakes should close (work). if not 2 things can be in fault , an d must be checked because the vehicle is dangerous withoyt this system.
Best part of this one for me was seeing the old S Line (farm truck) with a Stecco(? - never seen one with ramps before) parked beside the track... Carted most of 1AR's Leopards with one pulling the Haulmark float when I was in 158 and 1 CSSB...
Really enjoy the Workshop Wednesdays and Fix it Fridays also, A bit like us down here at Steam and vintage machinery society Petrie, I really like to come and look at the place, but where to stay I'm not sure.Keep up the good work.
7:44 i bet any random passerby hearing that loud whirring and looking over (at least a tank lover like you and i) would go “oh *f u c k* yeah” seeing that engine come on
All that water heating/ cooling is just more hassles and do away with the lot. Arctic temps in Nth Qld is 10 deg C. Not F. You need to wash all the dirty footprints and greasy handprints off before putting it away.

I love Fixit Friday almost as much as Workshop Wednesday
Agreed. Maintenance of these vehicles is just as fun as the restoration
Agree, workshop Wednesday and fixit Friday
Restoration is the hobby part. Maintenance is the work part. It's like having your house clean. Nobody sees the work that goes in it.
yup - each person there is a master of their craft (or developing into one)
Couldn't agree more. It's fascinating to see how much a PITA they are.
Nice to hear that Master Milo from my country The Netherlands was able to be of service to you in Oz by supplying manuals.
Didn't know that! Kijk em elke dag!
Master milo helps everybody

Misschien kunnen zij hem helpen met de Fiat panda 4x4.😂
been watching Master Milo for what feels like decades, that's awesome to hear. Turn the BMP into the Roll Golf!
I love the shoutouts and cross channel co-operations that have been going on of late.
Great to see you got it going! The BMP is really nice to drive. Thanks for the shout out.
Mooie samenwerking tussen Australia en Brabant😂
Bet Steve wished he had that manual earlier to know about that coolant drain. I can't wait to see videos of the BMP rolling at Aus Armor.
Great succes!

We need a video of the army S-line truck out the back! One of the coolest trucks we ever made in Australia 🇦🇺

Steve, you're a legend.
Good to hear another Aussie speaking Aussie (can we not do the bleep?), Mate, you did good, real fuckin good!!
Cheers,
A new series should be started with Steve repairing vehicles. Such an interesting insight into the museum.
Demented Kangaroo! Ah hahahaha. Awesome fix it Friday with Steve. Thanks for the video. Can't get enough. Have a great weekend.
3:02 shoutout to @mastermilo82!
I kind of love these references to other RUclipsrs involved in tank restauration. Goes to show what kind of a small family they are… 😉
"like a demented kangaroo with a cramp in one of its legs"...how Aussie can it get ? 😂
Yeah loved that
Thanks again for another Workshop Friday. I never knew that dishwasher tabs could be used for radiator cleaning. Steve's use of the term "Squaddie" certainly dates him. Brilliant episode, Cheers
Washing machine tabs are also very useful for cleaning floors etc.!
As mentioned, not recommended for your average car unless you want it dissolved from the insides out.
Yes!!! More technical and drivers operation. Gold gents gold. Steve’s got screen talent.
Really appreciate Steve not only sharing his thought process but also showing us how to actually operate the vehicle.
These new episodes really expand the excellent RUclips material already provided by the museum.
Fantastic effort by all to share what you are doing with the world. Well done Steve and thank you. 👏👏
Glad to hear that the crazy Dutch gave you a hand by sending the repair-manual !
Its an impressive job to under take, hats of to you. Carry on the good work.

Hope you remembered the rinse-aid so it’s sparkling clean Steve😂😂, another job well done🇦🇺👍
I know it was a water pipe in a tight work space but you made it interesting. And great camera work . Thanks everyone
Hey I wanted to thank you folks for putting out two videos a week. Lots of work for you, but lots of fun for us.
This is what we here in the States might call "a plumber's nightmare." Keep up the good work!
Steve and the BMP duke it out again! Steve wins by a knockout!
Oh wow, a surprising MasterMilo mention in the video!
Master Milo is top 😀
Next week on Steve's BMP hell; The Clutch...
well, apparently, that's child's play in comparison with the fuel injecor pump of that bmp...
Friday Workshop Beers "episodes" is becoming a thing and i like it.
I love Steve's repair videos should definitely do a series 😊

Coffee-spat at "Buckin Bronco"!
I don't build tanks, just cars, but totally agree on labeling. I label EVERYTHING from start to finish 😄
Steve is Brilliant working working on these machines ,they are so lucky to have him there prepping these machines for the big up coming event
Nice one master milo👍👍
It’s great to see everyone come together who work on all these types of vehicles from all over the world.
As for Aus armour the team are just priceless for all the vid and hard work you all put in
Question when is Daryl’s tooth gonna get fixed. 😂
Daryl’s tooth? Clearly you don’t watch all the Aus Armour videos, hey?
He has explained exactly why he has to wait for the tooth implant to be done.
Have loved this short series. The BMP is a fascinating vehicle.
Thumbs up Workshop Friday every Friday 👍🏻

Another great fix
Love this new series! Really enjoy the technical point of view. Good job Steve, keep up the good wrenching!

Soviet simplicity at its finest!
The MISS rule: Make it simple, stupid!
"Very simple" ratnests of tubes of different diameter and function. What a nightmare to fix.

I wonder if some one accidentally put oil in the water reservoir originally? Great work and most enjoyable.
Steve done did it! Awesome work.
I'd love to have that sort of knowledge and ability. Nice work.

I would so love to work for them!!!
Every time I see you working on that beast , I think of bilge pumps.
Awwwwwe c'mon mate, you bleeped out the best part !
Great series of videos, thanks to Steve for his excellent presentation of what he was doing throughout!
👍👍 to Master Milo!
Great job, Steve 👍
These soviet diesels produce a particularly caustic exhaust fume.."HA! LOve Steve's analysis
4:22 Does the AAA Museum have a swear jar or a swear tank?
Thanks :)
Great job Steve!!!
Master Milo! The go to guy from The Netherlands!
Good on you!
Could you show us in another video, what the huge spring looks like under the turret, the one that makes the Russian jack in the box effect?
15:40 The BMPs nickname in the NVA (east germany) was "Kotzkübel" (puke bucket). So its probably just the nature of it ;)
Great video
is the S-line part of the collection or just visiting?
Thanks sharing
Is that the way the clutches are on these things or is that on the LOTTD?
Brilliant work and episode Steve, thoroughly enjoying these BTW 😊
Steve, once you've finished with the dishwashing, could you shake n vac the floor - those Soviets left it a bit grubby.
At timestamp 13.30 it looks like Steve is wearing a magnificent Sombrero.
Hi Steve, great video. I love the wrenching stuff. Do you guys keep a maintenance book for each running vehicle?
Is that an upcoming Stuart project on the transporter at 15:50?
7:44 i bet any random passerby hearing that loud whirring and looking over (at least a tank lover like you and i) would go “oh *f u c k* yeah” seeing that engine come on
Getting there :)
BVP-1 from Slovakia
check out the chemistry lesson from Steve. Aluminium and Zinc are both Amphoteric… meaning they both react with acids and bases .. ie Caustic
He also is the first "just a car mechanic" I've ever heard mention CTE and the differing expansion rates of metal.
heck yea
8:42 The tank is peeing... 🤭
All that water heating/ cooling is just more hassles and do away with the lot. Arctic temps in Nth Qld is 10 deg C. Not F.
You need to wash all the dirty footprints and greasy handprints off before putting it away.
13:05 50 Bar = 700psi?
soooooo rusty stuart on the S-liner??? whats the go with that fellahs??
Great noise at 2min.
A lot of Russian BMP-1 spare parts coming out of Wreckers from the Ukraine at the moment
They're going right back into Ukraine's BMP-1's
@ 2:45 ..."I marked these hoses for the next unfortunate sod that has to work on this equipment"..HA!
As an aside, if you've EVER driven a column shift Valiant, the gear layout is almost identical.
I used to have a car with a handbrake like that (Vauxhall Victor 1969)
Doing a job like that, think I could swear a lot.
