Looks like the next time you are back in the UK you are going to have to go over and join in the tomfuckery and get your hands dirty being an ex army mechanic.
whistlen diesels gonna throw track within the first hour guaranteed. his place has a large amount of soft terrain not ideal for armored vehicles, and the way he likes to drive things. that tracks gonna come off.
You're an absolute legend mate, right up there with Dibbner and Martin!!! EDIT, And then you mention Fred himself!!!! Yep, never stop being you dude, we need more like you! Shame these days!
Love the sounds of the Leyland in the Chieftain it's starts with a roar ... then after a few hours a strange whining sound, then a grumbling , then a clanking and chain sound, then russling of paper , then grumbling then a whack of hammer on engine
A cent AVRE I learned to drive one of them in bovington in 92 bloody lovely! Had a runaway engine with a chieftain , it was bogged in a deep pit on bovington area engine bay eventually filled with water until the surface film of oil got sucked into the air filter, Boom!!
I’ve got to say that for a 12 minute 45 second video, reading all of the comments has been the funniest hour I’ve spent in a long time. Just glad to see you finally admitted it’s a Micra 😂😂😂
I mean artillery and tanks are pretty hard to conceal compared to small arms, and are better for defending a country these days... Second amendment should get with the times! :)
K60G, plumbers nightmare! Spent 3 years working on K60F &G in a Pack repair section. Getting a rebuilt Golf on the run up rig without it leaking from somewhere we as a miracle! The rack sticking in the F.I.P. is nothing new, even the L60 pump does it.
I'm assuming that if you know your way around heavy machinery and you get your hands on a broken down one for cheap its probably not all that difficult.
Awesome video. Soon as you can get the whole of the shop interior sprayed with foam insulation. Will be so cold otherwise unless you have an oil fire or something,but still get cold.ThankQ.TkEZ
Bleeding Hell, I thought my Carport was Over the Top, with a Spare Engine and Gearbox (for my Car) on the Repair list..! There's enough Work in that Shed to keep you Busy for the Rest of your life..!

@@tannerramsay4574 codys camera man doesnt know what a chieftain is - you can't blame him I imagine your not familiar with trucks so whats to say you know your scanias from your dafs. just because codys camera man isn't a tank nut like you or I doesn't mean we hold him to the same standard as someone who knows their tanks
Say I have bought the tank already, how much would it roughly cost to get the engine tuned up and get the tank legalized to transfer to the us and how much does shipping something like that even cost
Yes it is a 12 piston, 6 cylinder, 2 stroke diesel. Sounds great but had reliability problems. Made a lot of, usually unwanted, smoke too. Is it normal for this version nit to have the "smoke box" above the gearbox?
@@MrHewes a mate of mine had a 1971 Bristol RE with no glow plugs. Starting in -3 was interesting and smoky! He now has a 1986 Leyland Tiger with a TL-11 which fucking flies, shit off a shovel! Lovely old bus.

The Cheiftain has to have one of the best engine sounds! 👌🤤
its 2 stroke diesel im pretty sure they always sound good
6 bore 12 cylinder I'm led to understand
@@ferventheat Opposed piston
Same for that mean growling of a Leopard 2....immense bass 4tw
Opposed piston 2stroke diesel the Deltic is better as it's morrer
The Chieftain is such a beautiful tank.
Just like the centurion, it looks absolutely perfect. From the turret, the hull the tracks
I was just thinking that
@@F4Wildcat I prefer the Vickers Mk.1 over the centurion but still another great tank.
only real problem it has is the engine, that leyland is so unreliable atleast on the early models
And a pleasure to serve on,as long as you had a good engine
HOW HAVE I NOT FOUND THIS CHANNEL SOONER! Awesome!

What a collection. I don’t think I’d leave the shed.
But with one of them you can leave the shed in any direction you desire.
😂😂
I don't think I would leave the tank.
Now that’s what I call a Cooold start - gotta love that L60 bark🥶
This is awesome. You’re now the UK whistlin! Take full advantage, great to see. Cheers from 🇨🇦
Thinking that you started them up with the Milwaukee..
Amazing collection, worth a lifetime of daydreams alone.
Pretty sweet toys! That chieftain sound!
Unmistakable sound of a Cheiftain. Glorious.

There's alott of potential here for this channel, good work!
😂 Love how the dog just goes a piss's on the Hilux 🤦♂️😂
Can't wait to see you build your workshop
Love this series. Keep up the good work.
This is one very lucky man, having iconic tanks and in good conditions too
You have a unique skill sir. Thanks for the cool video.
So epic. Love your vids mate what a way to spend you’re day so cool mate

Cody has the best tank amongst any RUclipsr
That engine sounds very nice 😊

UK: no Small arms allowed, artillery and tanks, no problem!!🤯
Quite frankly I'd rather live there than here in the states as a military technology enthusiast.
I mean artillery and tanks are pretty hard to conceal compared to small arms, and are better for defending a country these days... Second amendment should get with the times! :)
@@maral2014 i dunno, having to bring a chieftain everywhere you go for self defence seems a bit excessive and unpractical.
@@maral2014 I mean as originally intended we should have tanks protected by 2A but ya know, politics.
And I mean non-demilitarized tanks, we can own demilitarized tanks.
What a beast. I build a Chieftain tank model when I was a teenager. Tamiya in 1/35 scale.
I have that same model on my shelf I'm going to make another in Berlin brigade cammo. Great model
Nice little collection you got
I'd love to see you tackle an iconic Tiger, as would loads of other tankers. 👍👍
Subscribed! great work you've done there.

how does one get into restoring tanks? very interesting and niche content tho, i like.
I’m not sure I went for fixing tractors to fixing tanks 🤣

@@cfranko1860 there that guy (his channel : MasterMilo ) he bought a t55 if i recall right to restore it, along a 200l barrel of WD40!!
You need to insulate the walls & ceiling in your workshops one day.
So sick 😍. And that sound 👌
The Chieftan has an engine sound like no other
By chance you done have any German Leopard 2A7 laying around? Really looking to get into this Tank stuff😎
Not at the moment
Australian gov has about 100, parked up never used. Rght next door to the unused Abrams
I presume lots of lads from the BAOR are getting flashbacks about starting Chieftains in German winters
I love that Stillbrew, looks cool asf

Dude very cool man! I wish I could do what you do
Awesome Videos sir nice shop
In my own opinion chieftan still is the sexiest sounding diesel ever for a tank
💯
That's a badass chieftain
Hopefully the army brings block heaters with them
haha, like to see that one!!
So I’m kinda on the edge on becoming a reme mechanic but this video definitely pushed me off it. Driving and working on tanks just seems like an absolute dream job
It is until you realize everything is military grade, so cheap and easily broken

I did 12 year's in the REME as a vehicle electrician very happy days spent on salta training area or bombing round West Germany in a samson .
You dream of being miserable?
You can t magically change Chieftain mk10 name into a M1 Abrams
cody's camera man dubbed it as an abrams
Sure you can, the magic of the Internet lol

Cant wait for whistlin to get this thing and start running through stuff!
And he'll wreck it and then it will just sit and deteriorate when he gets bored with it, which will be a huge shame.....
@@noobsoff-road they you buy your own and drive it respectfully, he bought it for quite a lot of money, he can do whatever he wants with it.
Id love a centurion. Such a good looking tank.
Chieftain
Tanks, Tanks, Tanks everywhere!!!! NICE!!!
whistlindiesel got a tank.... that will be fun :D
Very interesting video!
I'd love to own a tank like that. The engine sounds incredible. How much do good condition tank cost? Can you drive that on the roads?
The M-1 sure sounds like diesel.
It's a chieftan
Good sound!
I assume WD will be supplied with a significantly massive parts box. He'll kill it day 1 for sure.
Cold weather starting tip from a Canadian, run a hair dryer down the air intake for a few minutes, then hit the starter 👍
Chieftain, the sportscar of tanks (Well that's kind of how it sounds like).
Looks like your pampering the luxie...
Say I have bought the tank already, how much would it roughly cost to get the engine tuned up and get the tank legalized to transfer to the us and how much does shipping something like that even cost
Looks like it got the stillbrew turret too 😁
how does maintenance work when you buy one of these bad boys? is it hard to get parts etc?
Wow just found your channel and I love it very cool and what a man cave you have . And I know its your work shop but it is a man cave to me 😂
Why not fit one or two CAV Thermostarts to the Chieftan engine?
Will improve starting.
Love your work mate also had a good laugh I mean with you of course. Think I might sub to your channel
we need to blow this channel up get this guy some serious cash flow coming in
Love the Bose system I just spotted hanging out up there - that'll do! #raveparty
I really want to visit this
That's such a nice m1 Abrahams
Heck yes it is.
It's the only M1 Abrams that's a Chieftain.
Subbed for the t34
Doesn't the Cheiftan have glo plugs to help cold start?
BL L60 Bus Engine put into the Chieftain MBT, it was under so much stress that it always broke down.
my husband is looking to purchase a Vickers tank being sold in Kenyan the gun doesn’t work of course but it’s cool to see these vehicles up close
so is the tank going in a shipping container stripped down or as a hole just lifted onto the ships deck?
Most likely a specialist roll on roll off ship.
Container ships aren't suitable for one off items.
Nice man
just watched whistlin diesels vid of his new tank! What is the usual price for one of those tanks to buy like he has?
So nobody is gonna talk about that T-34-85 ? 🤤
Doesn't it have a 3 cyl auxiliary engine or are you already using that first?
Someone needs a block heater!
How come you don't use the GUE before starting the Main Engine? Just a matter of interest.
Because there isn’t a GUE in this Vehicle
I’d give the glow plugs extra heat before starting
I think you should make that fiat 500 look like a tank too 👀
Awesome! Chieftain sound is amazing, can you show us his engine? It's a Leeland 2 stroke?
Il show you in the next video
Yes it is a 12 piston, 6 cylinder, 2 stroke diesel. Sounds great but had reliability problems. Made a lot of, usually unwanted, smoke too. Is it normal for this version nit to have the "smoke box" above the gearbox?

so cool

8:35 "I choose you." That sounded like a Pokémon reference.
Ash Ketchum: Hey, that’s my line!
Unless I inadvertantly served on an M1 (before they were in service),that's definitely a Mk10 Cheiftain
Not use the GUE for starting?
Nato jumper plugs are the best tho lol
JUNK
Loved when the American saw it:D
Seth is a sound lad he was soo happy
Does your fuel ever gel over the pond
QUESTION .. what was that red light flashing on that tracked vehicle ?
Peeped the rig hanging from the wall.
You guys party in there too?
No highs no lows must be Bose
I thought the hilux was supposed to be taken into the depths of destruction... Cody won't be happy bro.😁👍
I promised him it be running and driving when he returns
Why do you not start the aux gen first then the main engine
Hey with the engine did you let the glow plugs heat up before you turned over the engine
