The best documented M3 Grant overhaul in history. Incredibly fascinating history and a wealth of knowledge for other reenactors. Polish tankers also served on these tanks. Kind regards.
This museum is the Best channel for restoration/overhaul videos !
The tank is more than 80 years old, yet the bearings, final drive and transmission gears are perfect, as if they were made yesterday. We need to pay tribute to the people that designed, machined and build them. What an incredible job they did.
I've said this before and it's worth saying again. You people are just amazing. What you do to fix this collection of junk is necessary and so cool. Thanks again for all you do.
“…these are wear washers..”
“Do they come out in the full moon?” 😂😂
Great restoration, thanks for the full movie 👍
Это органический труд .Благодарность ребятам . Я танкист и очень люблю такие ролики . Рестовраторам огромная благодарность . Привет из Чечни.
Dear guys,
This Australian WWII M3 Grant Tank is absolutely beautiful restored and this project was done with a lot of love, a great precision and eye for every detail. Everybody can see with how much dedication this restoration is done so I’m very very impressed. Look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands
This is fascinating, my Dad was a Technical Sergeant with the 20th Armored Division "The Liberators". That's the Division that Liberated the concentration camp " Dachau". He used to fiddle with those giant GM engines and the Rolls-Royce Merlins they would put in the Shermans that his guys would drive. He was one of the fellows who would keep 'em Rollin' down the European roads. He left us on 7 July 1970. Miss him still, I do.
An hour and a half well spent. Congratulations to all involved and great editing Curt.😎
It looks absolutely awesome and the smile on Darrell’s face says it all 😊
Workshop Wednesday+++ I am in heaven, Thanks Kurt for a fantastic job, plus thanks to the team for the brilliant work they have done to make the Grant a success. Cheers & Merry Christmas
As a retired master mechanic I totally enjoyed watching your rebuild. It must give you great pride and many bumps and bruises. Great job A+ Vietnam Veteran
Always thankful for my WW fix. Thanks Kurt!
What a transformation !. You guys must have such a sense of satisfaction. Spending a year of your lives turning a wreck into a running machine that will bring enjoy to thousands. We are not worthy. Cheers from Blighty.
One of the very best tank restoration videos I have ever seen. Thanks to all of you!
Fantastic project, thanks for producing this extended video.
I’m absolutely blown away by the skill of all those involved in this work. Simply amazing and thank you for all your hard work guys.
It has beeing an honor to let me ( and so many other tubers) to watch this special tank overhaul. I admire your local feelings about this restoration, and all history about it. This is again another valuable little suitcase of information for my brain!
Thank you Kurt for all the awesome videos this last year! Happy Christmas to you, and everyone at Aus armour.
Absolutely fantastic. To bring back an iconic piece of war time history is an an achievement. so proud of you all.
Thank you guys for bringing history back to life. Well done.
Always a pleasure to watch all of your amazing work!
The M3 Grant series is what introduced me to Aus Armor and now I look forward to every workshop Wednesday.
I found the site by accident and was thoroughly enchanted and fascinated, through the entire restoration process. Your folks at Oz armor have done a wonderful, wonderful job and are 😊 dedicated to the work that you've undertaken. You are now one of my favorite stops on my UA-cam tour. I will always be checking in with whatever you do.
I've absolutely loved this documentary. Please make more of them, I really appreciate your job and efforts making this machine running again. I can't wait to know what's next on the schedule. 🙂
I really enjoyed the Workshop Wednesday series on the M3 Grant, and seeing it all documented again in this version is great as well. You are all the best at what you do. Cheers from Texas.
Absolutely incredible. I’m so grateful I happened across your channel. Given its shortcomings, the Grant remains my favorite allied tank of WWII.
As a kid, I dreamed often of having one. To see this - not just restoration, but miraculous rebirth, makes me feel as if I achieved that dream.
After watching you all pour yourselves into this, I can barely imagine what the crews and mechanics went through all those years ago.
Thank you again for such an amazing presentation.
Ryan is a rare breed of mechanic. You are so lucky to have him. Well to be honest,all your guys are incredible fabricators and restorers. My hats off to all of them.i look forward to every Wednesday update!
Outstanding video of the complete restoration.
You guys are AWESOME! Thanks for keeping this history alive.
Just want to say a huge thanks for all the work In the past year to bring us into your shop for these restorations! I marvel at the skills set of each of you. Looking forward to 2024! With that said, God bless each of you, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Mississippi, USA.
I'm sitting here building a Lego Concorde whilst you guys are putting together a WWII M3 Grant with Australian specifications. I'm guessing yours is slightly more difficult than my build!
I wasn't expecting a 1.5 hour video drop, but its interesting to see all the segments as one doco
Wow!!! What a labor of love! You guys did an outstanding job! Could watch your tank restoration videos all day....love seeing historical military vehicles restored to running order by true skilled professionals. Thank you.
Mix emotion here and a little tears of joy I'm not an Aussie I just admire the effort and knowledge you guys put in to restore and preserve history salute from 🇨🇿
This was brilliant to watch. Thank you for documenting it all so well.
wow...😮 what a piece of art ... what a piece of work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing job. Its really nice to watch these old tanks get fixed up. keep up the good work!!
Fantastic work to all involved. Great to see this tank rise from a pile of rust.
I have really enjoyed this year watching you bring this beauty back to life for future generations to admire. Thank you.
Thank you for the complete end-to-end video. I have watched the progress of restoration each time a video came out, but somehow it is so interesting to see it in the complete sequence in one sitting. I do appreciate the time and effort all of you put into the restoration projects and the creation of interesting content from week to week. Please do not stop these videos. I always look forward to Wednesdays to see what is new and as always they are interesting and fun to watch.
There are no words of thanks, gratitude and admiration for what you all do. Just amazing. Cheers guys and have a great New Year. Take care all.
Absolutely amazing project, it is so important to remain those legends.
Hi guys I watched the whole video, a true labour of love and a fitting memorial to the guys who served and fought in it back in the day
I am so completely nerding out about all this stuff. I truly wish I lived there, and could come work on these tanks with you all!! Thank you for all the hard work and the obvious pride you take in what you do guys!!
Amazing work fellas. I’ve watched every workshop Wednesday since day one on this piece and it was just as enjoyable. Well done mates!
I have watched each segment of this build and still was intrigued by watching all of this, again. Truly exciting to watch this rebuild. Keep it up!!,
Watched this video with my mouth open. So awesome to see this video! Hope you'll do more of these!
Great job as usual. The end result is spectacular.
Great to see it all over again at one time, thanks! Congratulations!
I love how the mirrored-gears are designed, so as to maintain contact with the spindle gear. Something truly beautiful about a well designed machine.
YESSS FINALLY! It is here! Thanks for this content guys. LOVE the full restoration videos.
Stunning
Just loved watching this restoration work. It was obvious, that everyone of them loves what they are doing. Great job, and well done guys!
I stumbled on to this video and just could not stop watching, you boys did an *_OUTSTAND JOB bringing that tank back to LIFE!!!_*
I take my hat off to you!!!
Wonderful, thank you so much for sharing this amazing story with us.
Very interesting it’s good seeing historical pieces preserved for future generations.
Goes back together much easier than coming apart, great work.
I love to watch these guys working. They really know what they are doing.
Absolutely fascinating. It’s hard to comprehend the engineering that went into these amazing machines.
From Spain, congratulations. Magnificent work, a great effort not to lose the armored history.
Well done! An incredible amount of work by a talented and dedicated team.
I have watched this Grant Build from the very Beginning ,to the showing of this documentary you mates do some brilliant work Thank you for this Grant Build and others you have done
Fantastic effort by all involved. Thank you for sharing. 👏👏👏
Amazing! Thank you.
Fellas please release more long form content. It's absolutely fascinating to see the restoration, it's truly a lost art.
Quite a treat. Full, masterful restoration in one, well-done video. Can’t say I watched it in a single sitting, but I did watch it all. Thanks.
Watching this beast be revived and knowing it's what my grandfather served in is a pleasure and I'm grateful you guys are doing it. Preserving our past. While I fear so much has been forgotten that we're quickly headed back to another global conflict, every little bit helps to convey to the younger generation that avoiding war is so much more important that all the garbage they have us distracted with today.
This Grant full restoration video was immensely satisfying to watch! You boys are doing wonderful and amazing work down there, thank you for allowing us to share in your endeavors. Till next time, Cheers! - Jim
great video..good to see young guys learning the knowledge and carrying on the torch
When it comes to restoration you do what you have to. If the boys had that trans back in the day they would not have hesitated to use it. I salute you for your ingenuity.
I've watched every Workshop Wednesday this year and have looked forward to all of them. You do a great job and I take my hat off to you. Keep it up in 2024!
Fantastic! The guys really brought their game and produced one heck of a tank! Bravo! And proud of you all! Great work!
Simply AWESOME!
I always look forward to seeing workshop Wednesday you guys are all great builders
Its such a pleasure watching you boys work. Whoevers idea it was to film it, Id love to hug em. Yall are so talented and hard working.
Fantastic work gents!
Simply outstanding job, not only in the workshop but also the video itself.👍
Absolutely AMAZING work fellas!
That's a great job there, love it, be proud of what you have done.
Beautiful photography. Terrific teamwork. Nice of your friend to come down and help out too. I guess he was integral to success providing the engine.
GREAT JOB.
Great Job by a great and determined team. Well done to all!
That was extremely satisfying ! Seeing the expertise of assembly was great, but the effort during the tear down was inspiring ! Good job guys ! Thanks for posting this on your channel !
Well done lads keep at it and preserve history.
Epic restoration, fantastic achievement. Job very well done everyone 👏👏
Unbelievable, what great teamwork. The men from down under show what they are made of once again.
well done!, I'm happy to see more history restored.
Really enjoyed the "long version" of the restoration, even after having seen the earlier short episodes. Keep up the good work!
great to see the entire build in one final edited video, epic piece of work on both the tank and video, something the museum can be extremely proud of, seeing something being turned from a rusting hulk to a near complete and running machine is something very special, i've played my part in many restorations, guns to fighting vehicles, and aircraft so i know just how rewarding this can be, and not only in the machines themselves but meeting visitors, some of whom used them, and were part of their history including individuals who actually piloted some of the aircraft i worked on, that's extra special with a solid connection between man and machine
Great to see this again. Looking forward to see what you do next year
Beautiful tank.
Watched the whole week by week but will gladly watch tjis again. Love watching the workshop Wednesday clips and how it's grown. Cheers Kurt Beau Daz Jessie Al Jason and co for the year of entertainment. Enjoy Crimbo with family and see you in the new year ❤❤❤
Wow! Amazing work. The Grant looks great.
Wow very cool, Thank you Ray
