  • Check out more of our work experience student, Eamon's, work here AUSSIE TRAIN SPOTTER! - / @theaustraliantrainspo...
    There are some delays with the suspension units but Daryl and Jesse soldier on! This week, we fabricate the tow point, fit the engine and chain drive mounts and much more!
    This is a running PANZER I Ausf. B (1 of only 6 in the world).
    Follow the progress of our workshop restorations every Workshop Wednesday! A must watch for students of history, engineering, mechanics and metalworking! 🧐🛠️

    That suspension bar you are referring to, is part of the efforts to make the vehicle stable on the move and less (jarring for lack of a better term). The first road wheel is a essentially a motorcycle shock absorber, the second road wheel, a semi elliptic spring (yay railway designers) the idler the same as the second (Ausf. A only and inverse). First road wheel hits ground level obstacle, rides up and the shock absorber takes the brunt of the impact. Second road wheel hits, the spring takes the load (no torsion bars) and then delivers the excess absorbed energy to the idler which lifts up as a cantilever thus absorbing even more of the impact energy. If you notice that between the Ausf. A and B the idler on the B is much higher. But as they added another road wheel after lengthening the hull, the connection was transferred to the last road wheel and not the idler to do the same job. Not as successful, as the weight of the final road wheel and idler were significantly different and the load absorption was less.

    I Look forward to see your video's. I live in the west Midlands in the UK! The video's are normally aired on UA-cam around 9Am here. I wish I could come to see your museum! even though I have family in Australia my health would restrict me coming there. I've been to Bovington tank museum in Dorset many time and I enjoy going there all he time. I've said it to you many time that your team are talented with what they know and do! thats one of the reasons why I keep watching as well. As my grand father was a tank commander in WW2 ( 4th london yeomanry - sharpshooters!thats one of the reasons what started in into them.I have his war records and it amazes me what he did and was up against and went through. I'm Ken and ill See you next Wednesday LOL.

    Thanks again Team, for another brilliant Workshop Wednesday. And well done to Eaman for working seamlessly with the team. As you know, I love Workshop Wednesday and wait with barely held anticipation. I finish the dinner wash up and race down the hallway to my man cave to watch. And I know I could watch it at my leisure as it's on UA-cam. But I feel you deserve my immediate attention as you have put so much effort into the production. Cheers

  • @willwade1101
    @willwade1101 3 місяці тому +1

    A bit of advice, Always tighten the nut, not the bolt unless you can't reach the nut. Why? There is resistance in the bolt being passed through the brackets that require higher torque values. The example to this is tighten the bolt to the required torque then tighten the nut to the required torque. You will find that after tightening the bolt, the nut is still not to torque specs and will turn until it is to torque specs. When you must tighten a bolt that is threaded into a piece the torque value of the body resistance has usually already been calculated by the manufacturer to be slightly higher than normal.

    Forgive me repeating my little mantra but these videos should be required viewing at secondary schools to show kids why we need engineering, how creative it actually is and what a great career it can be. We really do not need 'Social Media' experts. We need skilled craftsmen and women.

  • @mikewilson631
    @mikewilson631 3 місяці тому +2

    Although there is a balance between lack of tension causing chain slap and tightness causing stress on bearings and the finished article is not going to have the amount of use it was designed for, the chains seem a bit tight. In addition, there is no cushioning in the drive between the hydraulic motor and the tracks. I think this may cause problems and the last thing you want is a chain flying apart in such an enclosed space. I suggest a simple, spring-loaded chain tensioner might be the answer. As the chain will run in both directions, you would probably need one on the top run and one on the bottom run. You may also want to give some consideration to chain lubrication and enclosure. Tinplate will not be adequate for the latter.

    This is possibly my favourite project in a while. Sure it's a crappy Pzr 1 but making it into a little runner with a mix of old and new parts is a great journey to follow. Hoping we get the early war 2 tone scheme of grey and brown. Haven't seen one restored like that. Mostly just solid grey.

    If it was me I would put the engine hold-down bolts in from the bottom and have nuts/washers on top of the engine bearers, that way if anything comes loose you'll be able to see it, the way it is now a nut could come loose and even drop off - also, they might get rusted on under there. Regarding links in chain, with a joining link it is good practice to have the closed end of it pointing in the direction of travel, probably can't be done here because of the requirements but I'd recommend arranging it so that the most common drive use has the closed end going in the direction of rotation.
