Best way to ever spend $6.9M. I bought a freaking tank on marketplace but had no idea it was in the UK so we flew there to drive it before it comes to the US. I've wanted this since I was 3.
This guy is a true legend. Imagine staying so layed back about whilst Cody comes to your house runs your trees over makes days of work for you gets the chieftain track ripped off drives over an old German war relic. What a legend the fact that this is even possible is amazing.
That was not german war relic, but actually GAZ-69 - a soviet army 4x4 truck, just like Jeep in US army. It's rather common vehicle and doesn't worth much.
RUclips has hidden your channel from me for years. I discovered it because lately I've been opening the site in incognito mode to see different things to the crap it recommends. What a gem of a channel and Cody seems like a genuine guy. The bit near the end talking about coming from essentially nothing was a quick recap for me. I also hate clickbait wit a fiery passion so it's nice to see someone with video titles that are accurate even if I see them and think, "no way" like throwing school buses.
@@LazyPinkHoodieKid the chieftain with the Leyland l60 multifuel engine had a breakdown rate of 90% but that was just the fact leyland couldn't make a quality product, the tank its self otherwise was one of if not the best tank at the time
If anyone wants to know, this is a cheiftan mk.10 the difference from the earlier models is the 2 bulks on the turret which is added armor and the tank also has a slightly more powerful engine, still slow compared to other main battle tanks from that era
@@SledgeHammerMindOpeneryou can recognise older tanks by how they look. Most were a bit round, often very noisy engines, and new tanks generally are very angular, sharp edges everywhere (especially front), and somewhat cleaner designs. Probably best to know how Challenger, Abrams, Leopard, Leclerc and T-90 (/80/72) look like if you want to be able to recognise basically like 80% of tanks you're gonna see anywhere in the world. Polish now are buying K2 tanks from Korea, they basically look like Leopards 2A4 (although they are a separate constitution). There is also some Italian stuff and Chinese and Japanese stuff but those are not seen outside of their countries tbh.
I loved the last few minutes. A few grubby dudes shooting it in the shop, talking about tanks. I was smiling the whole time like I was there with y'all!
hes pretty knowledgeable yes, but I did pick up on a few things that he missed on the gyroscopics of the barrel and the general info on the challenger 3
Honestly, my favourite ten minutes of this video is the last ten minutes, when Cody is at ease and it's just three dudes nerding out about tanks. That is pure, genuine enthusiasm
I really hope that this video is monetized because this is the third time I'm watching it all the way through. It's just really enjoyable to see someone literally buy a tank. I know I'm never going to get to buy one because by the time I have enough money to there's no way the US is going to allow it. But I'm really happy that you're doing everything that you're doing because now I don't ever need to. So thank you

So many stories from time served on Chieftains. That howling engine at night, in a pitch dark wood as it's getting closer to your hide, we used to chase the poor bloody infantry with them, but then during live firing ex they would shoot our optics out! We would also tell some new infantry lads that the OTT (onboard Tank Telephone) could be used to call home, the commander would act as the telephone operator and keep em their for ages! Last one, we had one of the loader/operators (loading rounds into the breach/radio op) who's leg slipped off the guard rail as the turret was being powered round, it broke his leg into 16 fracture points and the only way to get it out was to slowly hand traverse the turret back to get him out of the turret! Tanks for the memories!

British. Chieftain. tanks were powered by. engines. provided by British. leyland and with anything British Leyland does its unreliable as fuck so makes sense
It has always bothered me seeing these i bought a tank videos and it was an APC or a handmade bullshit vehicle. You actually got a tank, props homie. FpsRussia had it right back in the day considering he did this 12 years ago but hey. It would be interesting to see where his channel would have gone if he didn't get raided by the ATF
I wish they would bring him back, I miss our Professional Russian. What we need now is a Professional Terrorist, like some Gomer doing the FPS stuff but yelling ALLAH!!! Lol
The best thing I like most about Cody, is he’s true to himself. It’s hard to find genuine RUclipsrs nowadays. Congrats on the tank Cody, the chieftain is a badass tank.
Check out Andrew Camarata…. Dude can make a 2 hour video about clearing a road and it’s just sick. He bought a mountain too. And built a castle. Not the same type of shit as Whistlin Diesel but dude can film some shit.
Can we take a minute to appreciate how fast he set the camera down to give his fan some attention?! “Are you whistlindiesel?” Right away set the camera down and said yea whats up!! Full attention went to his fan. Gotta love it.. Humble as can be!
What up Diesel, just started tuning into your stuff, very entertaining, about two videos in, I think it was the firetruck, I was like, "he don't give an f@$& does he?" Then I saw the Ferrari and I knew it, then I saw how much work you gave these guys and thought about how much your crew must do at home and i was a bit disturbed! I'm sure you're paying them handsomely for their efforts. Keep up the good stuff eh! 👍
The Chieftain is my favorite British tank of all time. You can thank someone like me for not being there to freak out and nerd out on tanks because tanks are my primary interest, but I still wouldn't be able to help it.
Well, cabovers are an endangered species of truck in the US. There are no new cabover model there in more or less 20 years, the last new cabover model being the Freightliner Argosy.
I love how that young bloke strikes me as thre exact guy who would have been driving and maintaining the tanks during the wars back in the day, its like he was born in the wrong generation, so cool
Loved the ending of the video with y’all just having a great convo about things that y’all like. It’s cool to see genuine people having good conversations with each other. Most celebrities don’t do things like this so thank you.
Smoothbore is very common nowadays because of the heavy usage of fin stabilized munitions. I believe britain kept rifled barrels for so long because they used solid shot rounds alot longer. most explosive and kinetic rounds used in the modern day are stabilized by fins on the back of the round
No we kept rifled barrels for so long because of how good that particular gun is and it's more accurate than the smoothbore. We ultimately decided to change to a smoothbore purely for cost reasons with how many MBT's now use smoothbore barrels ammunition for smoothbore barrels is a lot cheaper to buy, and saves a bit of maintenance costs of the rifled barrel. The only ammunition we use on the rifled is a HESH round and an APFSDS round AKA Fin round.
@alexwood724 if it's more accurate than the smoothbore, would it not then make sense for the British army not to switch? You already don't have very many tanks so the cost can be justified, as well, I'm not entirely sure the claim that it's more accurate than the smoothbore is true, if you can show me then great I'd love to learn. Also me mentioning Britain's usage of solid shot was more so to explain in a way that using rifled barrels for longer could be seen as a holdover from that decision, even though Britain adopted fin stabilized rounds quite a while ago.
Always several hilarious lines in these videos but my favorite in this one was, “I don’t want to be here any longer than I have to because you can’t own more than 75 thousand guns” This guy is a superstar. Never apologize for your success dude, no one can possibly understand the stress that comes with making such epic content, consistently.
As a former Tank mechanic who has recovered many tanks, I couldn't help but smile when I saw the scene get darker as you were repairing the track 🤣 Shits not easy.
I am just potentially asking a stupid question but having worked on excavator tracks and stuff is preparing or changing a tank truck similar to working on the undercarriage of a let's say caterpillar 350 excavator?
@@codyr504 Nothing like it. You need to break the track (disconnecting one side from the other). You also need special tools to reconnected the 2 ends and as well as a bunch of other shit to get it back on the sprocket or whatever part it came off of. Typically takes about an hour depending on your situation and what the terrain is like.
damn, it's absolutely great that you included that entire conversation there at the end. I felt like I was there. that man is a whole river of information.
I watched some of Whistlin Diesel's vids but this is just next level like dude doesnt give a fuck I love it. He's literally every teenage boy with millions of dollars just living out his dream awesome to watch
A frickin Chieftain, win. Not an IFV, not a recce car, not a box with tracks. This is a proper tank, that noise when you're cold in a trench holding a rifle is disturbing.
Seeing him get stuck and then how long it took to get unstuck and repaired really shows the kind of hell tank crews would go through to keep up such a colossal war machine… can’t wait to see how it holds up to the man who can break anything
I've changed pads and tracks on Bradley Fighting Vehicles and I can tell you in ideal conditions that shit is rough. I can't imagine doing in the woods lol. Fuck that.
I love how you built yourself up man congrats your like Mr beast from 2017-2019 with his budget today I love when you act like a psychopath keep up the good vids
@@gorbdonfreeming What was the old saw about the Chieftain? "A battle winning weapon...as long as it breaks down in the right location". Good luck keeping that beast running, if anyone can do it, I reckon you can.
I was just wrongfully terminated from my job. I’m battling the company right now and getting nothing from it. I’m starting to lose the things I love and paid for with my own hard earned money and life just feels like it’s crumbling in front of me. I’m just happy to see you bought a tank. This seriously made me so happy to watch. Always know how to put a smile on people’s faces, no matter how hard life gets. Love your videos man.
sounds, looks, and drives better than any hypercar out there. ever seen a hypercar with smoke launchers, rotating seats, Periscopes for a windshield, and powered by a 1000hp turbocharged engine?
This is one of the most hottest videos in yt ive ever seen, the beautiful cinematic shots of a cheiftain, the humor, the duration of beaut shots its really like a forbiden treat since i always see short vids of a cheiftain. never long cinematic 4k-ish shots.
@@ucefkh Chieftain, presumably a Mk 10. This version has an uparmored turret front to resist HEAT warheads. This is why it vaguely resembles a M1 Abrams from the front.
The thing about Track Maintenance is ideally you pull the tracks off the vehicle every month or so and grease every link so it doesn’t squeak. You don’t have to do this, but the track could start rusting and squeaking when they are being moved. Generally speaking, you need to cut the tracks off as they showed in the video. So you will need to replace around 48 new links every year under ideal circumstances, plus many hours of meticulous care of the joints. I also don’t think they showed him how to do track tension, which you need to adjust before taking the track off or it will snap apart violently, and after putting one on so the track isn’t loose.
@@flare9757 you know this guy is gonna pay for others to do it, where does he get all this money? now he'll understand why youtubers dont get real tanks 😆
That ending conversation made me so happy. Seeing people of different culture be friendly over a shared interest. Just made me happy. It’s not even a big deal idk why it feels so wholesome to me. My dopamine is all messed up.
I learned something from every video i have watched, i have become a pilot, a firefighter, and now a tank operator. Except i really want a tank. I think if i title enough videos whistlindiesel youtube may give me that sweet youtube money to buy myself a tank
It wasn't a bad design. I watched something on here about the design of the turret mantlet... or lack of. They made that area around the main gun opening capable of being hit and deforming without it impairing the main gun. elevation pivots points.
@@Kranvagn.official No, i abreviated main gun as (mg). I don't where the Chieftains turret machine gun is. The pivot points on the main gun is set back away from the turret face so the face can be deformed without it impairing on the main gun.

Except for the electrifying the hull, that doesn't exist currently.
@@Ionizedwater1 Yeah, he is talking about a prototype, not something we will see for the next 10 years probably.
Well holy shitballs. I was expecting DemoRanch to get a tank before anyone but you went and did it. Congratulations. Cant wait to see you drive through buildings with that.
Demo had a tank but he sold it quickly lol
And just think, Brandon left FREE tanks in Afghanistan 😂😂😂😂
They need to collab and slap Demo’s M2 on it!
yeah, the shop door will guaranteed get it first thing.
Love this comment he will def get that gun working bet
I love the conversation you guys had at the end looked like good times
Hire that Brit tank mechanic, and bring him back to Tennessee. Dude seems like he'd fit right in. He'd be like the crazy smart tech guy on the team in a bank heist movie.
Only Cody can break a tank *even twice* in a single video
💀
its his first tank, with time he will be on track for a second
i mean a hilux can last longer with cody then a tank, i mean even doh a tank runs over a tree i dont see a hilux do that, you know what he needs a LIFT kit for the tank lol
we break them all the time in the army
British. Chieftain. tanks were powered by. engines. provided by British. leyland
and with anything British Leyland does its unreliable as fuck so makes sense
“We have to deactivate the gun, it’s going to America which makes no sense to me…”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I could watch these four guys learn about tanks all day!
Congrats
It has always bothered me seeing these i bought a tank videos and it was an APC or a handmade bullshit vehicle. You actually got a tank, props homie. FpsRussia had it right back in the day considering he did this 12 years ago but hey. It would be interesting to see where his channel would have gone if he didn't get raided by the ATF
you goddamn right
bro would have tested a tactical nuke on a city for a video
I wish they would bring him back, I miss our Professional Russian. What we need now is a Professional Terrorist, like some Gomer doing the FPS stuff but yelling ALLAH!!! Lol
@@avnmech lmao he should go to afghanistan or pakistan where the ATF can't reach him and do exactly that, that would be awesome haha
@@avnmech Professional Terrorist is too great for today's society

i enjoyed the tank lore at the end Joe seems to know everything
I do believe this guy is gonna survive the apocalypse with this baddy.
The best thing I like most about Cody, is he’s true to himself. It’s hard to find genuine RUclipsrs nowadays. Congrats on the tank Cody, the chieftain is a badass tank.
scam lol
He's true to his fans.
This guy is the only guy that makes 45 minute videos I actually watch.
Danny Mullen too
I hadn't realized this was 45 minutes until you pointed that out. I just finished watching it.
I didn't even know this was 45 min long till u pointed it out lol
Check out Andrew Camarata…. Dude can make a 2 hour video about clearing a road and it’s just sick.
He bought a mountain too. And built a castle.
Not the same type of shit as Whistlin Diesel but dude can film some shit.
You should check out @m539_resterations😅

“Well he bought a tank”
“I bought a tank”
Yep
Man I would love to spend the day with you and the gang doing crazy stuff.
I would but with all the scams going on how do I know this is Cody
Really enjoyed that last 10 minutes of you guys just talking about tanks, pretty cool to see cody not acting 24/7.
Agreed
everything they said was wrong but ok
@@lbgxvalor You don't seem like an expert but ok
100% seems like a chill dude, just talking with the boys

Can we take a minute to appreciate how fast he set the camera down to give his fan some attention?! “Are you whistlindiesel?” Right away set the camera down and said yea whats up!! Full attention went to his fan. Gotta love it.. Humble as can be!
Lmao his humor makes me laugh and pissed off at the same time I love it 😂😂🤌🤌🤦
How could you possibly hate this team !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS HAVE MY RESPECT
Everytime you think you can predict this man he goes in a different direction. I love his videos
@The TacoCat he brought a giant tank
Impossible to imagine the amount of pissed those guys must of been with you throwing that track.
Let ‘em be pissed they are getting paid
They probably just saw dollar signs
Or spitting on the shop floor
They earned 6million..
@@jeja722 Couldn't believe that, what a culture clash...
What up Diesel, just started tuning into your stuff, very entertaining, about two videos in, I think it was the firetruck, I was like, "he don't give an f@$& does he?" Then I saw the Ferrari and I knew it, then I saw how much work you gave these guys and thought about how much your crew must do at home and i was a bit disturbed! I'm sure you're paying them handsomely for their efforts. Keep up the good stuff eh! 👍
Revisiting this comment as I finish the video (kiddo interrupted) and saw your statement and learning more about you, more power to you man!😅✊️
The Chieftain is my favorite British tank of all time. You can thank someone like me for not being there to freak out and nerd out on tanks because tanks are my primary interest, but I still wouldn't be able to help it.
The wonderment in WD's eyes when he notices all the trucks are cab-overs is truly heartwarming
I loved when camera dude saw the tank.
That's normal over here what's the big deal 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Well, cabovers are an endangered species of truck in the US. There are no new cabover model there in more or less 20 years, the last new cabover model being the Freightliner Argosy.
@@kristoffermangila how come ?
@@andysautomotiveadventures9587 several factors, but mostly US Government regulations concerning truck length and safety.
"Basements" got me laughin @ 24:42. Good ol Marv.
I love how that young bloke strikes me as thre exact guy who would have been driving and maintaining the tanks during the wars back in the day, its like he was born in the wrong generation, so cool
Loved the ending of the video with y’all just having a great convo about things that y’all like. It’s cool to see genuine people having good conversations with each other. Most celebrities don’t do things like this so thank you.
Joe the tank mechanic is awesome. Looking forward to seeing more of him on the channel.
Cheers bud
@@MrHewes joe?
Can Imagine his line of work gets the ladies on 👍🏼
@@Dukes3677 Sure looks that way.
@Mr Hewes be gaining himself some more subs me inclusive.
The guy in the orange jacket, talking about the tank, has his own RUclips channel- Mr Hewes. Well worth a watch.
Smoothbore is very common nowadays because of the heavy usage of fin stabilized munitions. I believe britain kept rifled barrels for so long because they used solid shot rounds alot longer. most explosive and kinetic rounds used in the modern day are stabilized by fins on the back of the round
No we kept rifled barrels for so long because of how good that particular gun is and it's more accurate than the smoothbore. We ultimately decided to change to a smoothbore purely for cost reasons with how many MBT's now use smoothbore barrels ammunition for smoothbore barrels is a lot cheaper to buy, and saves a bit of maintenance costs of the rifled barrel. The only ammunition we use on the rifled is a HESH round and an APFSDS round AKA Fin round.
@alexwood724 if it's more accurate than the smoothbore, would it not then make sense for the British army not to switch? You already don't have very many tanks so the cost can be justified, as well, I'm not entirely sure the claim that it's more accurate than the smoothbore is true, if you can show me then great I'd love to learn. Also me mentioning Britain's usage of solid shot was more so to explain in a way that using rifled barrels for longer could be seen as a holdover from that decision, even though Britain adopted fin stabilized rounds quite a while ago.
Always several hilarious lines in these videos but my favorite in this one was, “I don’t want to be here any longer than I have to because you can’t own more than 75 thousand guns”
This guy is a superstar.
Never apologize for your success dude, no one can possibly understand the stress that comes with making such epic content, consistently.
As a former Tank mechanic who has recovered many tanks, I couldn't help but smile when I saw the scene get darker as you were repairing the track 🤣 Shits not easy.
I am just potentially asking a stupid question but having worked on excavator tracks and stuff is preparing or changing a tank truck similar to working on the undercarriage of a let's say caterpillar 350 excavator?
@@codyr504 I would assume it's very similar.
God I hope he paid those guys because that's a lot of work.
@@codyr504 Nothing like it. You need to break the track (disconnecting one side from the other). You also need special tools to reconnected the 2 ends and as well as a bunch of other shit to get it back on the sprocket or whatever part it came off of. Typically takes about an hour depending on your situation and what the terrain is like.
@@gorbdonfreeming so the same then.
Imagine a robber trys to break into his house and they just see him inside a tank.
Tank is a beast 😎 I was a tank commender and a driver of Merkava mark III gen 2 and it was amazing experience
damn, it's absolutely great that you included that entire conversation there at the end. I felt like I was there. that man is a whole river of information.
Making it up as I go along 😏🤣
I watched some of Whistlin Diesel's vids but this is just next level like dude doesnt give a fuck I love it. He's literally every teenage boy with millions of dollars just living out his dream awesome to watch
A frickin Chieftain, win.
Not an IFV, not a recce car, not a box with tracks. This is a proper tank, that noise when you're cold in a trench holding a rifle is disturbing.
Seeing him get stuck and then how long it took to get unstuck and repaired really shows the kind of hell tank crews would go through to keep up such a colossal war machine… can’t wait to see how it holds up to the man who can break anything
This certainly won't be the last time he throws a track. I'm betting first video in the US it'll happen again ha
I've changed pads and tracks on Bradley Fighting Vehicles and I can tell you in ideal conditions that shit is rough. I can't imagine doing in the woods lol. Fuck that.
Seth going crazy over the tank was awesome to see. Like a 10 yr old on Christmas morning all over again.

bro that's a t-34 real one from ww2!
love it
A Chieftain, nice! In a perfect world every boy/man would have a tank.
Finally a creator who says they bought a tank in a video and actually bought a real tank and not an IFV or APC...respect that.

Good for you Cody that's awsome buddy keep it going g
Whether a tank barrel has rifling or not depends on the ammunition. Some versions of tank ammunition work better with a smooth barrel and vice versa.
"YOU BOUGHT AN M1 ABRAMS?"
Me: *winces*
😂 exactly my reaction
😂
true
but a quick look it is very similar... but not really
Pretty sure anyone with a knowledge of tanks had the same reaction 😂

I’m starting to lose the things I love and paid for with my own hard earned money and life just feels like it’s crumbling in front of me. I’m just happy to see you bought a tank.

Probably one of the coolest videos I've watched
sounds, looks, and drives better than any hypercar out there. ever seen a hypercar with smoke launchers, rotating seats, Periscopes for a windshield, and powered by a 1000hp turbocharged engine?
I love seeing just cool, genuine and fun conversations like the last 10 mins of the video. You’ll never see that on any other channel on RUclips.
This is one of the most hottest videos in yt ive ever seen, the beautiful cinematic shots of a cheiftain, the humor, the duration of beaut shots its really like a forbiden treat since i always see short vids of a cheiftain. never long cinematic 4k-ish shots.
He’s going to love doing his own track tension and track maintenance.
the "oh no the tank is on fire" drill is going to be sick
You seems you know your shit, what tank is that
@@ucefkh Chieftain, presumably a Mk 10. This version has an uparmored turret front to resist HEAT warheads. This is why it vaguely resembles a M1 Abrams from the front.
The thing about Track Maintenance is ideally you pull the tracks off the vehicle every month or so and grease every link so it doesn’t squeak. You don’t have to do this, but the track could start rusting and squeaking when they are being moved. Generally speaking, you need to cut the tracks off as they showed in the video. So you will need to replace around 48 new links every year under ideal circumstances, plus many hours of meticulous care of the joints. I also don’t think they showed him how to do track tension, which you need to adjust before taking the track off or it will snap apart violently, and after putting one on so the track isn’t loose.
@@flare9757 you know this guy is gonna pay for others to do it, where does he get all this money?
now he'll understand why youtubers dont get real tanks 😆
That ending conversation made me so happy. Seeing people of different culture be friendly over a shared interest.
Just made me happy. It’s not even a big deal idk why it feels so wholesome to me. My dopamine is all messed up.
Why am I now seeing you everywhere.
Just from the world cup poll. And now here? Lmaoo bro stop following me
When I deployed I had more fun chatting with the Brits and aussie's then the home team. Its definitely interesting getting to know different cultures
Even tho we have social media, people are more distant than before i think, that's why it feels so wholesome. Idk i have the same feeling ahaha
Dude just properly and undeniably trashed on Mr. BEAST AND IM HERE FOR IT.
I learned something from every video i have watched, i have become a pilot, a firefighter, and now a tank operator. Except i really want a tank. I think if i title enough videos whistlindiesel youtube may give me that sweet youtube money to buy myself a tank
If I recall correctly, turning the turret backwards and firing makes you go so fast you can fly

The tank in this video is a Chieftain MK. 11, you actually have one of the last production Chieftain MBT (Main Battle Tank). Not bad.
shut up
It wasn't a bad design. I watched something on here about the design of the turret mantlet... or lack of.
They made that area around the main gun opening capable of being hit and deforming without it impairing the main gun. elevation pivots points.
@@TeddyBear-ii4yc is mg short for machine gun?
And the main weapon of a tank the main barrel or cannon
@@Kranvagn.official
No, i abreviated main gun as (mg). I don't where the Chieftains turret machine gun is.
The pivot points on the main gun is set back away from the turret face so the face can be deformed without it impairing on the main gun.
I watched that on utube but possibly a channel called "the chieftains hatch" or similar.
@@TeddyBear-ii4yc oh OK
By the way the chieftain's hatch's is a great show the speaker is an employee of Wargaming who is are the devs of World of Tanks which has over 100 million players so
