'Góra' in Polish means TOP 😅. Greetings from Poland ✋💪
Gora notch info 😊
And is pronounced more like Gura.
Gòra this is multum more big
Greetings my Polish brother from the UK ❤
American TD, soviet engine, Australian museum, rally mechanic.
Amazing ❤
Perfectly sensible arrangement. Just how nature would have done it I'd say.
Yup sounds like an Aussie place lol
And a Polish fuel filter😅
Nice to see someone retain their sense of humour after being upside-down in the gizzards of an oily old tank - great job, Steve.
Adam West approves of the "To the museum..!" dissolve. 😂 I literally laughed out loud. Well done, that editor. 🎬 Take a stripe out out of petty cash..
Yeah, to the Batcave reference was brilliant and made me physically LOL too.
Adam West was/is a God. 🦇
Haven't heard that for half a lifetime.
It’s refreshing to watch skillful people with practical experience. The world needs more trades who are artisans, craftsmen, problem solvers, thinkers, doers…..
We've had a whole generation that don't want to work in factories and get their hands dirty. So much so, that we have a serious shortage of tradesmen.
Yes that's true.Today is not about problem solving or thinking just following.
It’s called capitalist greed. Our highest honors go to those who make money from money. They produce nothing but profits for themselves.
My cousin is a mechanic...we worked on our Land Rovers together. His ability to analyse and solve problems always amazed me!. Good to see that IQ applied here!
Steve; no prior experiance with tank engines, but with a breadth of knowledge from real world expreiance dealing with recalcitrant engines. Seems like Steve will be a good fit with the Aus Armour brotherhood. It's interesting watching the team evolve to be way more than the sum of it's parts. Kudos Aus Armour and Rob Lowden vission
A real mechanic who's not afraid to get his hands dirty.
I don't think most museum goers realise the amount of work that goes into keeping an old armoured vehicle running. Just going around, starting and running them a few minutes each month is a job in itself. If it doesn't start or run, then you have to troubleshoot and fix it. A Frankenstein like this Jackson with a T55 engine makes it even more complicated. Great to see AusArmour putting the effort in. Well done!
Looks like Steve’s going to be another amazing addition to the skilful crew at aus armour, looks like he’s got a great sense of humour as well 😀. Thanks for another awesome episode 👍
The scope of knowledge at the museum is amazing ... from the ' Scoobie' to a T55.... love it .
Another great episode Kurt
As a diesel maintenance technician for 40 years I could smell the diesel coming out of the filters 😂😂😂. Great episode.
Great thing about working on anything Soviet is reparability. The MasterMilo channel rebuilt the same engine in a T-69 tank from the Iraq army that they shoveled out loads of rust from the cylinders. It runs now and powers the tank at an impressive speed albeit a bit smoky! I believe that engine has been in Russian tanks in one upgraded version or another since the 1950s. Simple, strong, reliable and repairable in the field...that's the modus operandi and the technology be dammed!
Yes watching every workday MasterMilo workshop channel
Centrifugal "filters" are very common in Soviet stuff. They work really well. The Land Rover TD5 also had one.
Yep - so did a lot of small-bore Honda motorcycles in the 70s. They’re cheap to make, and effective (as long as you remember to clean them out)
They are seen sometimes on long haul truck engines too - Cat, Cummins, etc. Probably a good idea on early Soviet tanks and trucks due to fairly basic Soviet oil. Centrif filters mainly spin out carbon that got into the oil by piston blow-by. Modern detergent oils prevent the carbon from clumping and make centrif filtering less necessary.
Centrif oil filters are common on marine engines as they have to run continuously throughout a voyage.
@@keithammleter3824 Nice info 👍
Can we see more of Steve, he is hilarious !!! keep up the good clips
As a former mechanic I find these videos fascinating.
Great episode! Another example of affable Aus Armour people 😀 Oh, and I love the Goat filter, even if it's not a GOAT filter!
"to the museum!".... Love that edit!
Steve is great! Love his sense of humor and his explanations. More Super Steve please :)
Oh no. Another week to wait ?
How could you ?
Brilliant stuff. 👍
It looks like janet is in good hands,the workshop got a good mechanic behind the wrenches.
With the damaged seal leaking fuel, my first reaction was " does Aus Armour have a 3D printer and the appropriate filliment?"
The M36 Jackson is my favorite tank ever!
The batman style transition made me laugh like a madman.
Love these episodes of general maintenance/troubleshooting!!
As long as the adjustable spanner is metric, you can do no harm!
That Steve really knows his onions!
Holy Tanks Batman!!! Really enjoyed seeing the maintenance, troubleshooting and how big that airfilter is, yup definitely looked bigger then then my cars.
Goat's name must have been "Anne Gora"!!😂. Silly Aussie humour.
Another great vlog, keep up the great work.
Cheers.
This bloke is cool 👍 nice change of pace .
Amazing job Steve and the team, I like the way you talk things with common sense and down to the basics.
A Jackson? Oh, right I thought it was an Achillies! I thought the Jackson was a funny looking s.p. gun with the canon mounted close to the rear of it?
Ok then fair enough, I must look it up.
Great job Steve & welcome to the team! Seems like you're gonna be an asset for the guys!😃👍
You guys never cease to amaze me with your skills
I can not hardly wait till next July I will be able to visit Ausarmor on my trip to Australia.
Really good episode, I thoroughly enjoy pulling stuff apart and finding problems! Putting them back together not so much but one forces you to do the other!😂🤣 The end result of having a fixed running and working item is worth the pain of reassembly though!🇦🇺👍
15:28 - highlight of the edit haha love it
It's always a pleasure seeing a real expert working on the job !
People talk crap about russian QC ,but it seems to me that their stuff is just as goid as anything out there. Also wish the vuds were more like 30 to 40 min long
Any equipment that wasn't well made has long since broken down or worn out, and been forgotten or scrapped. At this point, only the good western and soviet designs remain in a condition suitable for maintenance
I spent 12 years on Armor in the CAV. This is highlight of my week. Thank you so much.
My Belarus 420AN tractor uses a centrifugal oil filter. It works very well.
More of this guy. I like him!
Well looks like you got the correct man on it!
That centrifuge oil filter was a common thing for USSR heavy engines. We've had Belarus tractors here for as long as I've been alive, they all have had them and they work great. I remember being told that they were part of the design philosophy of being easy to service. All the nuts and bolts were a different size from each other, so if you only had a single wrench pack you could still pull stuff apart, the centrifuge just needed the bottom pulled off and dumped, the original filters could be washed a couple times before replacement.
They were rough machines, there was an old joke about how you didn't want one built on Monday when all the factory workers were hungover, or Friday when they were all drunk, but any other day of the week and they'd outlive whoever bought them if they lived to be 100.
Wellcome Steve…..with his background sure will be an excellent addition to the crew!!
Very interesting Bit of preventative maintenance brilliant stuff can't get enough of it Crack on mates
Just got done with Part 2 video, now to see this. 😍
That guy is a super addition to the team.
Not all that glitters is gold, especially in the oilpan.
Стив, красавец!
I joined the Canadian reserves in 1976. We had M38A1 Jeeps with a permanent oil filter. It had a little spinner bar on the top. Part of the First Parade routine was to turn the spinner 10 times. I was told that inside were layers of vanes or plates, and spinning brush the crud off the plates. The mechanics would remove the cannister and clean the whole system during scheduled maintenance.
Well done to thr engineer.
Quite a tank with quite a history and a very detailed mechanic. Nice work. Thanks Aus Armour.
First of all: Happy new year 🎉 2) 👍👌👏 Very interesting (although I'm usually not really interested in tanks). The mechanic genius seems to be a great guy and full of knowledge. I absolutely love how every part can be disassembled and maintained/fixed. This is something that we customers unfortunately allowed to went away bit by bit so that nowadays it's way too often necessary to replace whole units/parts. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and especially health to all of you.
This is one of your best episodes ever. Quite the detective story.
Awesome!
This is so cool. Love this kind of videos. Can't wait for next one
Steve is a GC 👍
Another awesome episode of insight into details :)
Nice to see how of all works..🎉
Awsome episode...now to wait for next week.
Thanks :)
Loved this one
Great team you have down under. 🛠
Love the humor, great work guys
As always, thanks for posting yet another excellent video as well as all the other videos from you too!
GREAT WORK GUYS!!💥🙌👍
YOU'RE THE BEST!!👊
The T-54 engine is the V55 twelve cylinder diesel which during it first drive would grind roughly 4 lbs of metal shavings and would continue grinding for the rest of its existence. What you have there is a well used engine as you barely had any metal shavings in the oil filter. 😂
Another expert on the team!👍
great job👌👌👍👍
Looks like the old girl has a bit of a checkered past. I was getting a bit excited thinking we might see a Ford GAA or maybe a twin 671. Very much the boobie prize but historically significant. Steve doing a great job and I believe very much a glutton for punishment. Having a background with Subaru's I would imagine well versed in head gasket issues.
But seriously a good man for the job. .
Thanks Steve & Kurt, you must be sick of me always ranting on about my love of Workshop Wednesday. As it takes a week to get here, and it's gone in minutes. Cheers
Great job. Nice to be introduced to a new personality on the videos.
Keep up the good work..
Its all just Nuts and Bolts 🤠
Toujours un plaisir.....
Good job as always 👍👍👍
Great content. Excellent production value. Great work gentleman. No notes. 👍
Really enjoyed this with all the detailed mechanical work- thanks for the fine content and quality video work👍
Really informative and relaxing to watch..."To the Museum".....Brilliant !!
Great episode, keep it up.
Hey AusArmour. Love your work 👍
“GORA” in that case means The top, originally it means also the mountain in Slavic languages
Good old "Universal Crescent Spanner" works on Std AND Metric!
Great guy
Great video
Climbing up and down off equipment for tools? No! That’s what apprentice’s are for! And making a brew!
In the meantime, a phone call to Super Cheap Autos - "Do you have any manuals on Russian Tank engines" and/or ring the Russian Embassy to see if they can help?? Then when putting it back together - "Kurt, did you see where I left the sprocket set"??
I thought that was a very good episode. A tank with a history and a bunch of troubleshooting with examples from similar actions in other tanks. Enjoyed this one, not that i don't enjoy them all.
Very interesting and more to come.Would love to see more of the Poland visit.
Hopefully, next video we'll se him repair the oil pump motor.
Oh look a box of pro hands nitrile gloves. Might of been a good idea to wear them when tipping diesel fuel all over your hands Steve!
"Occupational skin problems in motor vehicle repair workers are mainly caused by: Contact with oil, grease, solvents and degreasing agents"
We need longer videos.
Hmm.. to solve the tools problem.... make a tray out of thin steel/angle with tubes for pallet lifting under. Put a stocked roll cart on it. Have a square dolly 4' high that can be moved. Lift the tool set onto the dolly and wheel to side of tank. :)
This is a man who LOVES a challenge. Something tells me you just can't pull a part and call the local auto parts store for a replacement.
You got a chuckle from the batman transition.
When you have done with thee veickle at the end of the day fill the tank with fuel to the brim to stop condensation building in the fuel tank this will stop water in the fuel system.
Dad always told me to wash filters in kerosene, let them dry them put them back in. 👍
Wow how fascinating that was, a Soviet motor in an American tank.
I'm looking forward to the next installment.
However I'd love to see Jason talk about this tank I've seen interviews with crewmen of this style of tank and how dang cold it was with the open turret because the gun was to big for a closed turret which I guess they solved with the Firefly.
But I just want to tell you I'm so glad I found this channnel and Kurt you do a fine job as does all the craftsman in the shop truly mind blowing what they do.
Janet Jackson, we’ll named 😂
Muy entretenido no sabia que existía ese tipo de tanque americano con motor ruso es increíble 👌👌
