Ex RN diesel mechanic here. Loved the close up of the battered blistered hand. Reminded me of my hands where there was always one black nail and ingrained dirt that never washed out.
Now that Jack is back, some real work will be getting done on Tanks. No more messing about with funny looking cars on top of tank turrets and girls swinging around in circles from the tank barrel. Thank you Jack for getting this team focused once again.
know nothing about restoring old beeping tanks or beeping engines but find your beeping videos beeping relaxing after along week doing beep all. cheers from Canada.
As a Reme Recovery Mechanic veteran I really enjoy your videos especially when you get Freddie Foden out brings back fond memories of pack changes in a FRG in deepest darkest Iraq.
"Down" as if that was an option. Jack is quite the machine and makes the time-lapses fun to watch. When it comes to taking off road wheels we found it easier to put your back to tank. As well as when putting them on if you have a buddy to line up the holes.
I like the low down on prices and such. Brings everything into prospective. Including hours spent and "rough" prices in parts also too. Keep up the good work
Another brilliant video, Joe, and a compassionate and genuine intro based on its previous owner and his welfare and health. It would be nice if an importer of premium Chinese laser strippers supported your channel and restorations
Good video. Back to the Mr. Hewes and Jack comedy shows of the past. Good cliff hanger to end on, of course we're going to tune back in, and the enthusiastic playing of "The Entertainer" exit music supplied by your dad sealed the deal on this one. Good vid Joe, watch the wine it'll give you gout eventually.😂
Joe, my brother in law worked at Deyesbrooke barracks (Liverpool) in the 70's and serviced army vehicles tanks etc and always told me the way to deal with the smashed nail was to drill into the nail to relieve the pressure, you don't loose the nail!! When I crushed my nail some years later he reminded me what I needed to do, simple reply, FO.
When wakeboarding or waterskiing trim engine up a bit. For your towing V, make it shorter and put a small pully on it were you connect you tow rope to👌
What outstanding cinematic trickery when the laptop snaps shut… I understand Spielberg has bought an old tank just to feel closer to you! I’ve bought a ticket for the next instalment and I’m not moving from this seat. Good job, well done, you have the patience of a saint. 😎👍❤️✅
Handy tip for you on the thousand horsepower sunbeam when I’m working on the carburettors on the Sunbeam engines string on the spanners so when I drop them, I could always reach them easily. I know he gets it away but it makes life a lot simpler. Have fun Michael.
12:53 Glory, glory, what a hell of a way to die Glory, glory, what a hell of a way to die Glory, glory, what a hell of a way to die He ain't gonna jump no more - Salute to all the Vets out there ! I can be the only one who heard Blood on the Risers immediately.
There was blood upon the risers, there was brains upon the chute, Intestines were a-danglin' from his Paratrooper's suite. They poured him from his chute and poured him from his boots, AND HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE!!! Beautiful streamer please open for me, blue skies above me and no canopy. I counted 10 thousand, waited too long, reached for my ripcord the handle was gone AND HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE And still most people think it's a jolly song
Excellent plasma cutting, "@Vinheteiro". Perhaps you could get him to play for your outro? Great to hear the back story and the return to working of this AVRE over the coming days, weeks, months.
It is only because of your experiences to work in such difficult situations with spaghetti like fingers to screw out the floaters and whatever but using a TV monitor helps so much! A hell of a job indeed 👏 👌
Welcome back Jack to staring in this episode! About time you were here, we missed your fruity language, mind you, Joe more than filled your and his portions sometimes! Hopefully you can get Adam under control of some sort, 'cos sometimes he gets to "Adamish" for my likings. He can be very sensible and that is the Adam I like. Just glad your back Jack, now there is some hope of things being done. Good overall, that float was twice the weight it should have been, still you can braze it back properly now! Thanks see you next time.
I think there was a big misunderstanding when you were interviewed for your job. You do not know everything about turrets. You know everything about tourettes. Keep up the good work, I'm loving it.
I soldered up pinholes in many dozens of brass carb floats over the years. Whoever committed that atrocity should be heartily ashamed of themselves. BTW, that was an enjoyable watch (as are most)
Maybe I'm the weirdo, but I rather like it when you do the long-form videos of showing us all the fiddly mechanical work. Like Concrete Chieftan and Abandoned APC Drives Again were/are some of my favorites.
I hope you guys tested the replacement float, it would be a pity to have to do this job again or As Rainman Ray (UA-cam mechanic, look him up) would say, "I love my job so much, I do it twice".
Another great film , thanks . Your outro's are brilliant ,thanks for taking the time to put them together . And thanks for the Halloween discount , I bought a hoodie , so now I can identify as a foden as well.
Forerib of beef in the oven for Sunday roast, Mr Hewes' manky finger and Jacks lack of work what could be better for a Sunday? Thanks for the Video loved it as always.
Wonderfully complicated and a joy to watch as usual.. I've always wondered though... you all call them Adjustable Spanners .. I worked stage crew for 30 yrs and they were an absolute MUST part of our individual kit but we always just called them AJ's ... A foolish point I know. pedantic ol' bastard loves your vids though :)
It seems like the real money in tank restoration is in museum-quality work of any kind of famous vehicle. Even the small collections seem to want a vehicle to draw in the crowds who've seen Band of Brothers.
I love you guys and really enjoy your videos. It's not just the armor that you have and work on. It's the fun that you have and share. I have a blast watching! What is the status of the underground boiler room that you uncovered? Kenny
"He wants it rust free" What a snob. Three(!) weeks of needlegunning? Wow. No one can say You guys are lazy- Jack did it? Attaboy! He (to me) comes across as a jock at times with Seb but not as a patient needlegunner. You Guys mosy over to CEE Australia, Curtis bought himself a great tool that makes very swift work getting ANY surface stripped in no time, it combines air and water with an abrasive that makes it more powerful than a normal sandblaster. It´s just awsome. And because it uses water it produces next to no dust. That thing needs a big ass air compressor, too and You might need a loan for it but it IS worth it. He demonstrates it in the Franna Crane playlist. Y´all are still young but Jack´s wrists will thank it- Take a look into that tool, think about it and bite the bullet. It WILL benefit Y´all in making snobs happy- quick. Kind Regards
Have you heard about dry ice blasting? It works wonders on rust removal and cleaning up all surfaces, plus you dont need to be afraid of leaving grit everywhere. Theyre expensive itself, but you can rent them and dry ice used in it shouldnt be that expensive.
Steve is a lovely bloke.. we bought the diesel road roller off him and he's still going strong on the farm up the road from us.
Good to hear!
If Australia really was upside down, our Centurions would have the lightest ground pressure ever. Cheers.
Nothing but love for all of you. You are the luckiest tankers on Earth. You have supportive girls that love you 🎉

Rosé wine in mismatched glasses with your best girl in what looks like your Nan's living room.
Doesn't get much better than that!
It was my nan’s house before she passed
@@MrHewes☹️, sorry to hear.
@@johnnunn8688 it’s all good we all have to expire one day
@@MrHewessome would say that expiry dates are advisable only. Who wants to live forever, Highlander 🤪
I wonder if his best girl managed to get him out of his sisters jeans after plying him with half a glass of Rossay, in his Nan’s lounge room
I have to say you and your colleagues knowledge of engines,tanks and everything else is truly astonishing 👏👏👏
"Have you got room for a stubby one in there?" Jack testing his chat-up lines right there :-)
For a moment I could have sworn you pulled the holy hand grenade out of that carb.
of Antioch?😂🧙🏼♂️👍🏻
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 is there another one?
As soon as I saw Ted taking charge I knew the job was a good un!!!
Hi Joe, Now you know why most REME Tank Technicians are 4 Ft 8Ins in there high heals. Well done on changing that float...
Just love the "working banter".
Now that Jack is back, some real work will be getting done on Tanks. No more messing about with funny looking cars on top of tank turrets and girls swinging around in circles from the tank barrel.
Thank you Jack for getting this team focused once again.
I like the variety and humour.
@graememckay9972 great humor and great to have these young guys and gal working, and restoring these old machines so thay can be enjoyed.
Although.... extra editing of his naughty naughty mouth balances it out.
I thought that was Ted's job . Unless he's got more important stuff to do and is delegating responsibility .
@AnthonyCarty-b5n I think Ted is getting paid off with treats...
Bruce Springsteen sang glory days!
know nothing about restoring old beeping tanks or beeping engines but find your beeping videos beeping relaxing after along week doing beep all. cheers from Canada.
You are good people....keep up the great work girls and boys.
As a Reme Recovery Mechanic veteran I really enjoy your videos especially when you get Freddie Foden out brings back fond memories of pack changes in a FRG in deepest darkest Iraq.
It is always great to watch your videos...really could do with more. Many thanks for your hard work Mr Hewes and Jack and the Team...
Stop bullying Seb, you norty man. 🤣😂
that ENDING! That absolute nerve to leave us on the cliff hanger! Well done as always and I cant wait to see how this one turns out!
"Down" as if that was an option. Jack is quite the machine and makes the time-lapses fun to watch. When it comes to taking off road wheels we found it easier to put your back to tank. As well as when putting them on if you have a buddy to line up the holes.
Present Steve the removed float as a keep sake
Polished and mounted on a wooden plinth!
I like the low down on prices and such. Brings everything into prospective.
Including hours spent and "rough" prices in parts also too.
Keep up the good work
The back ond forth banter with you and jack is just brilliant! 🤣
Another brilliant video, Joe, and a compassionate and genuine intro based on its previous owner and his welfare and health. It would be nice if an importer of premium Chinese laser strippers supported your channel and restorations
Good work ! I reckon the secret to getting that float out and back in is to feed a bit of wire through the hole in the tab on top.
From Australia. Mr Squiggle says " upside down Miss Jane ,upside down" . "-)
Got a "hurry up!" from bill steamshovel too
Great episode, the interplay between you two is priceless, TV companies which they could bottle it!
Oh my! You are "Rock Stars"! What awesome fine tuned work! Bravo!
Good video. Back to the Mr. Hewes and Jack comedy shows of the past. Good cliff hanger to end on, of course we're going to tune back in, and the enthusiastic playing of "The Entertainer" exit music supplied by your dad sealed the deal on this one.
Good vid Joe, watch the wine it'll give you gout eventually.😂
Thanks for explaining about the needle gun.
Jack, legend if needle gunning for 3 weeks. Absolute killer. Serious float action.
Joe, my brother in law worked at Deyesbrooke barracks (Liverpool) in the 70's and serviced army vehicles tanks etc and always told me the way to deal with the smashed nail was to drill into the nail to relieve the pressure, you don't loose the nail!! When I crushed my nail some years later he reminded me what I needed to do, simple reply, FO.
Thumbs up for former Deysbrook barracks just down the road from me - it’s now a Tesco
It looks small without the 'tin' work. I'll bet this one will be a jewel. Glad Steve is managing.
Nice high-speed teamwork on the rear sprocket.
Then Jack had to be beeped as soon the video came out of high-speed teamwork. 😂
Great job can’t wait till the engine running and glad Ted was in charge very interesting video thanks
When wakeboarding or waterskiing trim engine up a bit.
For your towing V, make it shorter and put a small pully on it were you connect you tow rope to👌
Yeah, that float job was definitely easier than pulling the intake off. I remember that was a whole video by itself!
Ditch the needlegun and get a friken laser gun.... get with the modern tech. 👍
Are they cheap.. money is an issue....
@@TheJon2442, laser machines are very expensive
@@dukeoftoast2420 Get a cheap Chinese one, they're a whole lot cheaper!
One I saw recently does laser welding and laser etching.
@@TheJon2442 cough cough sponsored cough 😉
What’s the duty cycle like on those things? Can they just run for hours at a time?
Always good to see you guys working swearing and generally being entertaining
While Ted watches on in mild frustration 😅
Mr Hewes, thanks for the educating entertainment!
What outstanding cinematic trickery when the laptop snaps shut… I understand Spielberg has bought an old tank just to feel closer to you! I’ve bought a ticket for the next instalment and I’m not moving from this seat.

You can tell they were drunk

Take it easy.
Great to see Jack workin it.

Thank you for the enjoyable and useful video. I hope that you will upload an Arabic translation my friends next time.
Wonderful and watchable episode, let see how it sounds!
Making me twitch with you holding that float and explaining putting it back together!😵💫
TONS OF MONEY!😁
Dog food for Ted tank you
@@MrHewes Nice!
Well this was another fantastic episode!!!! You and Jack are a great team. Thank you for the great entertainment !!
Another great video. You make it seem so easy, when it's not.
I think there was a big misunderstanding when you were interviewed for your job. You do not know everything about turrets. You know everything about tourettes. Keep up the good work, I'm loving it.
Mr Hewes and associates, contortionists extraordinaire. We also do tanks.
thanks for sharing Joe!
That fuel tank got hotter than Jacks Mum 😁😁😂😂
Brilliant film as always. Doing the job you love with the people you love. You say you are skint, but believe me, you are wealthier than you know.
Maybe but I don’t spent a penny on myself. You can probably tell that but the way I dress
What a nice float! You could send it to REME To show VM’s how not to repair a float!
The Abandoned Tank Museum lol
Hey Ted from California.
Cadbury's Smash advert springs to mind.
I’m loving the catalogue pose at 2:01 🙌🙌
Your doing this years adults clothing range and Jacks doing the children’s range ??
I have never seen such precision with the grabber in my life before 10/10 straight in and out like a proper job should be!
He gets it from his mum.
Thanks for that, it's about time you put the camera up the right way.
@ 12.47, ‘let’s get your end in there’, 🤭.
The tool passer is the most important part of the team. try doing the entire job on your own
I soldered up pinholes in many dozens of brass carb floats over the years. Whoever committed that atrocity should be heartily ashamed of themselves. BTW, that was an enjoyable watch (as are most)

Another great video. Thanks for what you do.
Another choice for paint and rust removal with no mess is Dry ice blasting.
Jack is cheaper
You’re probably right but it can be done in a day and no water to clean up only a bit of dust. That being said, “ Jack is cheaper “😎
Another great film , thanks .
Your outro's are brilliant ,thanks for taking the time to put them together .
And thanks for the Halloween discount , I bought a hoodie , so now I can identify as a foden as well.
The program was "Golden balls" with Jasper Carrot
As always great job Lads and Ted ! ♥️😉🙃😎 NZ
I have every faith in you nutters , er , I mean you skilled professionals , to get it started . Woof woof Ted
Forerib of beef in the oven for Sunday roast, Mr Hewes' manky finger and Jacks lack of work what could be better for a Sunday? Thanks for the Video loved it as always.
I think that you should paint this one full on Union Jack.
What you like! thanks for the video guys and girls.
Jacks got mad skills with that claw!
Mate You need a tv show very entertaining
Goldenballs in your Carbs! Jacks Mum's Favourite 😁😁😂😂
4:57 - You can hear Jack glaring at Mr Hewes through the camera for that comment.

We called them shifters.
Oh so your gonna tease me with the will it start. I was gonna watch your next video anyway. And still will. Waiting with with baited breath then.
It seems like the real money in tank restoration is in museum-quality work of any kind of famous vehicle. Even the small collections seem to want a vehicle to draw in the crowds who've seen Band of Brothers.
Museums don’t have huge funds to pay for restoration’s
I love you guys and really enjoy your videos. It's not just the armor that you have and work on. It's the fun that you have and share. I have a blast watching! What is the status of the underground boiler room that you uncovered?
