Did anyone see the Snake? 🐍
yes
Yes, it has one eye, Jack is wearing shorts.
Змія у Вас в штанях?
@@johnnunn8688 So he's revealed his military experience of "Going Commando."
A blue snake , yes I did lol
sitting on those engine louvers to the left of the drivers hatch were a life saver on a cold winters exercise
Yes but also got you covered in oil and coolant!
We used to warm up tins of sausages and pasties under the metal vehicle chocks placed on top of the louvers and loved sitting on em to grab a quick kip or warm up on the drive oh the memories fade

i just love the way every single screw got explained in a way that everyone can understand what the things do c:
Thank you for this tutorial, i cannot wait to change the engine pack on my FV432-30 at home.
In the kitchen?
@@johnnunn8688 Nah parents will be mad about it being in the way, will have to do it on the bedroom floor, and we'll use the parts washer in the kitchen when they go out. Be fiiiine
@@ohnoitisnt ah, a fan of Jimmy’s World.
I can't remember what I did yesterday but I remember the reg of the 434 I had the pleasure of driving almost 50 years ago ! Brilliant channel
Awesome! Hope your brew was on the BV 👍
AFV 432's and other baby tanks was my bread and butter whilst serving in REME back in the day....I smiled and smiled when I remembered what all the bits were before they removed them.....OH HAPPY MEMORIES...
spent the better time of my 22yrs in the army in these beasties and loved them, me and a colleague got the pack lift down to a fine art to the point of getting down to around 15mins.
the secret to these vehicles as you well know was to run them run them run them and they rarely broke down, the problem was that most of the time they sat idle apart from a quick run up on a monday morning and the occasional road run once a month. like you i loved my little 43
I passed my 30mm Rarden canon trade test firing on a 432/30 at Lulworth in 1979. My regiment was CVR(T) Scorpion and Scimitar at the time.Good memories.
me too Paddy, first time I saw one I was being tested on it. They showed us the new thermal image sight that was going to be put into tanks it took up a marquee and a bedford, it worked off a normal tv.
I ended up as a DMI on the 432 after TFI into the medics.
Brother drove a 432 when he was in, still remember the part of his driving license that covered this "a track laying vehicle steered by it's tracks" .
His was the (normal)armoured personel carrier version (no turret) he also drove (at Sandhurst) a 432 fitted out with lots of radios which was the 'bosses' command post. When he was at Sandhurst he spent most of his time as the 'bosse's' driver.
Prior to this he was based at Soltau(in Germany) he decided when he was there that he was bringing his 'panzer' home to show his brother, he was feeling no-pain as he had been celebrating his 21st, needless to say wiser heads prevailed, his mates persuaded him to have another pint. So he forgot all about his plans.
I visited him in Soltau. Some of the time I was left to my own devices but one day I visited his troops 'howf' they were having what was known as a sports afternoon so they were all drinking and basically skiving, I think it was one of these recognised tacitly as a nothing gets done evolution, one chap was supposedly refreshing the camoflage on his 432 (with a 4" distemper brush and a tin of paint). When someone posts that a model is inaccurate because that swoosh starts at the fourth rivet along and passes through the middle of that ammo box. I remember that chappie painting the design on with a 4" brush and a pot of paint he found lying about.
Allways a good day when mr hewes uploads love it m8
I was a driver of a 432 in Germany from 1986-88 then it was replaced by The Warrior the 432 was very reliable, great fun to drive, and no we never had any power tools, it was the British army not American. Great Videos really enjoy them.
You made that look easy , its like watching the open university for tank maintenance .
Biggest problem with 432's was they weren't run enough back in the day. They used to get painted more than ran!
I've changed a few of those Engine Packs with REME even on Exercise, I'm ex 39 RA, I could not get enough of driving & working on 432's, M110's, Bedford's etc the REME Mechanics were brilliant & taught me so much. Watching this Video brings back so many memories 👍👍👍
Agreed about the REME LAD, they are the best and generally do a fantastic job. Also the garage/workshop is usually the best place to go for a chin wag and a brew.
That was my life in the MT, hanging out down the LAD gobbing off
Did hand Granade training at Sennybridge back in the sixties… an yes it was the old mills bomb😎……. Looks a tidy motor great find👌🏼
Employed a few ex REME guys on the spanners in civvie street on Commercials mostly, Some of the best Mechanics we've ever had 💪
Mate, that is because despite the forces banter most REME mechs know what they are doing. Not me. I'm thick as mince. If it isn't a tank then I'm fecked@@-DC-
I've always loved the way the FV432-30 looked!
Jesus this brings back so many memories.... Oddly I still have pack bolts and a steering box adjuster tool.... So often changed these power packs in German forests at night using the trusty 434.... Keeping beer bottles in the light guards to cool them as we drove along and filling the 3rd man's hatch with boxes of Aldi's finest Bocholt beer.... Hey ho happy days....
“Bocholt”, now there’s a name that I haven’t heard in decades. We used to drink gallons of that stuff back in the early 1980’s. There was an Aldi opposite our barracks in Nienburg, we’d buy two slabs each on a Friday afternoon and both would be gone by Monday morning. Happy days.
Maybe they would like those spares and tool, not like you’ll be needing them?
Sitting on the louvres in winter keeping warm and drinking beer.
I might give away the steering box tool. It's in my army tool box and I left the army in '88'.
If I had an IFV like this, i would literally sit in the turret all day spinning around and around. “You spin me right round baby🎵”. I used to do exactly that in the HMMWV turrets whenever I was bored.
Great job guys you certainly know you're FV's , you made that pack removal seem easy , pleased you also go into such detail on the repairs too makes it really interesting for us mere mortals, every video just keeps ramping up the quality 🎉🎉🎉
My favourite place to sit when on exercise in winter was on top of the fans ... lovely and toastie 😁
My view on whether this vehicle is unreliable is; stuff that is being used is far more likely to work than stuff that sits idle. The army was probably allowed to operate these things for 50 hours per year AND they were probably over-serviced.
Another fun session!! Really appreciate your careful explanation of what you are doing, it sounds a lot but you make it look so 'simple'.
For me this was one of your best videos yet, between you and jack nice casual approach giving easy information about what you were doing, clear visuals on parts, champion!
I’m amazed at the knowledge you have acquired with these engines & it’s fascinating to see you work on them. Keep up the good work 👍
That compression ignition engine is possibly the best sounding I ever heard.
One of your best videos ever. Very informative to us 'laymen'.
Thanks !!!
Have an rc 1/6th scale T34-85 rebuild on the go at the moment too so love this content !
Thanks for taking the time to show us all.
Im ex-Forces but no need for any challenge from me as Im ex-RAF and non mechanical , our moto was E FLAMMIS ATQUE RUINIS SALUS. I didn't do Latin at school but i think it means fire will ruin your day and smoke gets in your eyes . Another saying was adapt and over come , mainly because we had not the best equipment back then so made do . And another " never be afraid to re-deploy " which is a nice way of saying " run way " lol .
Useful information. Nearly every day I wake up wondering if I am going to need to change such an engine pack before bedtime.
Another fine video, not just the quality of the visuals, the banter, the info and the ability to "be there" and see what you and the team get up to. Often a lift in an otherwise slow week. Cheers, oh and don't leave Jack unsupervised too long, he may get into trouble, apparently
Loved this video brought back memories of two I assisted with in Germany in the early eighties, our unit had Mk 1s. I did an easy one on the vehicle park and one at night in a wood. No power tools just spammers!! Took ages!!
Just spanners, oh to have had power tools back then!
I really liked that you made it so easy were and how to put the hands on this engine. This tells your great knowledge on those vehicles! Good job as always 👏 👍
Brilliant video boys again thankyou.
Excellent video - looking forward to more challenges.
Thank you for another nice upload. I love watching yall and learning about these tracked vehicles and what goes into renewing them.
Great to hear a bit about you guys today.... keep up the great work..
You are very knowledgeable on all these tanks etc very interesting videos
10/10 in case of needing quick repairs on the side of the road.
A hammer fixes every thing , who needs spanners and screw drivers and other tools of which I would have no clue how to use . As you can tell I don't work on my own car !!!
@@zeberdee1972 well that's how Volkswagens are fixed, just hammer them till they stop acting up.
@@LostCauseRT Beat them into submission or scrap . Either way they either work or your no worse off , it was broke to begin with lol .
@@zeberdee1972 jokes on you that might be my new kink... damn.
Great insight into the engine pack / removal , thanks for sharing great teamwork 👍💨💨
Fascinating! Your skill and knowledge are truly impressive. Love watching these videos, keep them coming!
Cool video as always and love the humour , thank you .
Thanks for the video, I usually learn something and always enjoy watching!
I did my Grp "H" test in a FV432 in the 70s and spent years supporting them in 1st & 2nd line REME units. I always felt the designers were a bit mad to combine the brakes and steering in one function as the one thing you really need if either the brakes or steering fail, is the other. Add to that the fact that the proper functioning of brakes/steering was dependent on the correct installation and adjustment of brake bands and a whole collection springs, clips and fixings inside the steering unit, and you have a real potential for the thing to take sudden unexpected excursions off the road, which happened on several occasions to my knowledge.
Excellent!
Loved my time with the 30mm rarden....old school shooting with no computers though...so abit hit and miss.
Well done chapz , handy to have a Foden on hand , every home should have one !
Awesome video as always!
Really good video Joe! Enjoyed the explanations. Back home in Canada now, post Tankfest.
Knipex plier wrench work with a six point ratcheting action 👌🏻
Cool little power pack 👍
Another great video lads👏👏👏👏👏
Enjoyed that mr Hewes thanks
Great video. I love the built in smoke screen at the start coming off the truck. Great idea lol.
Z
WOOO HOOO FIRST !!
You guys rock !!
See you at the show !!
Quality Mr Hewes 😮
The oil leak in the engine compartment is just an in built anti corrosion system , all military vehicles have this . Hence why they had to be Daily inspected every day and the levels topped off . Anyway makes the matt paint shine and you know how the military like shiny things !!! .
Experts at work👍
Great video chaps
You guys are a great team and i just love watching you do your stuff even though I know bugger all about Tanks and shit.
We know about as much 🤣
@@MrHewes Haha, just the sort of answer I expected.🙂
i shall certainly use this guide for my own personal FV 432-30
Top job! You say it takes 40 minutes to take the power unit out but that is assuming one has a ruddy great big Foden Wrecker just within arms reach xD
love the insight into both your past, you pair of leg ends.
Trip down memory lane, 432 driver Osnatraz 82, your 43 looks well better than the one that was handed over to me from the Kingo's.
eyyyy something to cheer me up after the mighty jingles' video today
Love the sound of a 432s engine on full chat
Great vid as always, still playing catch up from the beginning lol. Nice to see I'm not the only one with a T Shirt like Jacks (not supervised one)
Ha ha snake noticed 😂
I'm not familiar with these engines. But the sound simular to Detroits? With it fitted with a Blower!!
All the best from Canada
Interesting videos and nice to see the wagons I used made working again .... Those power tools make a difference in taking a Chieftain or any pack or gearbox out ... Try it without power tools , in minus 10 outside at night and with the GUE fitted guys ... Won't be so quick then.... Also, ... I would like to see the engine bays cleaned out and not just let fuel or oil drain straight into the bay etc .... Good clips on the whole though....
great video again
Great video as ever especially the interior shots, keep them coming. BTW The top cover of the gun, containing the feed and firing mechanisms, has been replaced by that sheet metal lid that you pulled off and the recuperator appears to be missing.
Lads depending on your concept of a "ratcheting shifter" a company called Knipex does make one.
They are sort of a cross between smooth jawed multigrips and an adjustable and I have a pair which work quite well for tasks like the barrel unions on those fuel lines.
Cool. Looking forward to the blasting (catching up).
Maybe you have covered this elsewhere but some of your viewers might be interested to know that the K60 Engine in the 430 Series was really just a smaller version of the L60 in the Chieftain. Two Stroke compression ignition, 6 inline cylinders, 12 Apposed Pistons with 2 Crankshafts and supposedly multifuel though it was rare for them to be run on other than diesel fuel. I seem to remember the Mk1 vehicles having a B81 straight eight petrol engine as in the Stalwart and very similar to the B80s in the Saracen & Saladin.
I wish I owned a tank, even a small one, that Mr. Hewes had inspected and repaired.
Why do you have so many old washing machines 0:38 do you use them for tank parts 🤔 🤣🤣
I love Jacks teeshirt and its clean 🤣 (IN MY DEFENCE I WAS LEFT UNSPERVISED) where can i get one from.
Two channels i love to watch about restoring tanks is Mr Hewes and The Australian Armour & Artillery Museum as both show everything from the start to the finnish.I would love Mr Hewes channel to restore a Sherman A4M3 and cream of the crop would be a Panther IV (not a Tiger tank) which i think was the best tank in WW2 as it was used in all fronts of WW2.
I remember my mates Stag do at Armourgedden over 10 years ago. Great fun, mud well over the road wheels and we might have shed the track of one of them...
they back at it again
From what you said these are the VW bug of the APV world.
Nice video and still funny narratives.
Wera do ratchet open end spanner’s, you need a sponsor!
Hello love the vidios
Great Work😅😊
Did many a pack lift brings back a few memories
Very nice 👍
Very nice.
Funny jack saying about a ratcheting open ended spanner, my mate said the same thing the other day when we were working on an engine, I said well you can get them in a few different styles, unfortunately I couldn’t say I had one lol, next time I see some I’m going to get some 😂
I used to have a Mk1 FV432 with the Rolls Royce B81 Mk8F straight 8 petrol 👍
Halon is the safest and most effective fire suppression agent for use in that machine. Look it up.
Just not when people are in it right ?😂
@@Commodore_westaway Wrong. Halon is very effective at fire suppression and in the concentrations provided for the volume of the enclosed space to be protected will allow occupants to escape without harm. Halon does not function by displacing oxygen. Look it up.
The green snake on ground next to Dog ? seriously you 2 were like 5yr olds on Xmas morning checking new toy's 😂😅❤
Brilliant video!
I saw a video on RUclips of a guy with open-ended ratchet spanners. I wanted to get some but not sure where to get them?
Anyway, I look forward to your videos and this one was great!
Cheers 👍
A couple items you can look up: Snap-On Speed Wrench, Facom Fast Action Combination Wrench. Gear Wrench makes an Open End Ratcheting (set number 85599 to make it a quick search and avoid the usual ratcheting box end) but its got some mechanical bit embeded in it.
@@alexb.1320 Hey thank you very much!
I will have a look at those, cheers
I used to have a friend that was in the Belarusian tank corp and he told me it used to take 8 hours to get the engine out of one of the Russian tanks. He moved to Germany and watched them take the engine out of a Leopard in 30 minutes.
Compared to an hard working HGV these engines don’t seem. To be very reliable?
@@victorwild3225 They certainly don't manage the same hours, but they're ragged on really hard and eat a lot of dirt. Tracks make for a lot of drag too
I just love the sound of a foden.
Wera make an open ended ratcheting spanner they come in handy on line fittings etc not cheap though
I used to hate changing the packs as a young lad I got all the crap jobs. But great memories
Your looking at the ranges at Sennybridge above Trecastle on that map, its a good drive over them when theyre not firing. :)
Love the video's really well done. Could i suggest a couple of radio mikes, audio tends to be really low at times. Otherwise keep up the great work.
Did my track test on a 434 at Borden back in 90 then off on my recy course did many a pack change at 7 armd with the foden
Ideal lads, really good vid, keep them coming. Much prefer the tech stuff and the variety is great. Was the level there to keep your straight faces in check?! 😂
I hear there might be a lot of cheap Bradleys on the market soon........with err, slight ventilation issues.
Lol for a second there i thought he was using his cellphone as a hammer on the hatch 😂
Head cameras would be a worthwhile investment, freeing up that much needed hand.
interesting to see an old 432 engine compared to the 'modern' bulldog engine and transmission
Being new to the channel you stated that you came from a farming background! I thought that you were a diesel mechanic! I think you have found a calling!
