- Today we lift up a 50 Ton Centurion AVRE TANK.
Using the biggest bits of tree we could get our hands on we set the Centurion down on them.
The reason of this it to clean the tracks and running gear of all soil.
This vehicle is going in the workshop for a full paint Job then its off to USA.

Just another day pushing things to the limit…
If the dog eats poo it means it has a calcium deficiency
past the point of no return?
And pulling things back from the limit too? Poor Lindy
That’s how I clean diggers? That’s why fitters put up with mini digger dozer blades, so you could lift it all off the ground and bungee cord the travel levers. Tesco lasagna was really good until that day. :o(
@@janwitts2688 Bored dogs eat poo too.
Then they lick you.
Joe, I like how you can make gash look so professional. REME would have a fit but what you do here works. And no one died. Thank goodness you "don't know what you are doing"!!
Cheeky sod 😂
Another ex-REME who loves it too.
Ex reme we did worse
Ex REME. Absolutely!
Two things I'd say right off the bat: How tracks really work for things like tanks is really interesting, and honestly I've learnt a lot more just by watching you blokes try to wash the bastard things out than I would in any number of articles on the subject. So not fun for you lot but honestly find someone else willing to demonstrate this sort of thing. Second thing is I work in a tool and die shop that is necessarily full of very very smart people who are ran so ragged by the work they do they can barely articulate what the fuck they're doing most of the time. You only really get clarity from such people when they're about twenty pints in. So three cheers for "definitely probably".
You're definitely probably almost exactly near enough spot on.
I couldn’t have said it better someone else
More or less...
She'll be right!
That’s a definite-maybe.
Which is, of course approximately-accurate.
"Hello, I shall call you Tesco".......love it

Tesco?
during the burma special for top gear Jeremey clarkson named a horse tesco @@neilpinner5750
@@neilpinner5750 Maybe ten years or so ago, horse meat, donkey meat, mule meat, goat meat, pork and PROBABLY deer meat etc, were found in many beef mince based prepacked foods. This was from different retailers lower priced product ranges. The testing was by trading standards using DNA species identity to check the mince composition. The problem was traced (apparently) to continental suppliers of the lesser quality conscious kind. This lack of quality standard enforcement and a general lack of respect for consumers by the retailers, meant that the wonderful Shepherds or Cottage pie everyone enjoyed was often not beef mince alone. Hence the hilarious quip at the expense of the Thelwell steed, called Tony the pony.
Aah now I see.!,
Need yourself a fire truck, as a portable washdown hose.
Don't start giving him ideas he will end up buying one.
Adam has got one.@@olly_james28
@@olly_james28 👍 LoL 🤣. That was the idea. Or even three or four 1000Ltr plastic cubes, and a petrol water pump. 3 inch hose. Need the weight and push of the water. Volume over pressure. I've used those massive cowshed hoses for washing equipment at a quarry before working on them. Fitter/welder. Mechanical engineer here in New Zealand. If he had the area, and the money I'd go as far as saying a sump pit. So the wash water could be returned to source and recycled though the system . Therefore, it'll never run dry.
A Salamander would fit in just nicely.
🤔 Im sure they have 1 somewhere it was at operation market harborough last year
You may think videos of washing a tank are dull, but those of us with smaller toys to play with, find it riveting and entertaining to watch. More please.
Clearly, videos of tanks being washed are interesting, else I'd not have watched it from start to finish.
I mean, we've already watched paint dry in a previous vid.😁
11BA66 built at DGOF in 1953. It was fitted with a Mk 5 Turret Photographed in tiger strips at Bovington part of the RE wing where it last served.
Reminds me when i left my centurion parked in shady part of the city. Find it next morning on wood blocks and my brand new tracks were gone.
lets here it for the skill of the chainsaw operator who cut them big logs nice and parallel 😁
My Buddy over at Bosworth Sawmill
Everyone knows Ted is the real MVP of this operation.
M ost Valuable Poo eater :)
Well, there are two ways to lift de tank. One is your way with all lot other machines and wood. Two with 4 hydraulic lifts.
Glad you choose number one because is more fun to watch😎
Too much gravity under that Tank....what fun.
Whether on purpose or by accident, these boys produce the best mixture of entertainment and education.
Please don't ever stop!
Ted is without a doubt the star of the show ☺ Such a good boy 🥰
Ted looking like a babushka...... 🤣🤣
1:01 Thanks for the tutorial. Was trying to start my Centurion this morning but wasn't sure how.
Don’t mention it
Hi, absolutely love, seeing the Foden, that is one beast of a wrecker
Nice job guys! I'm repair some military vehicles when working in the Brazilian army we washed and clean the equipment with two chassis elevator work together with capabilities to high 28 Ton in the two hidraulic piston in installed on the floor, this equipment are used to washed truck, military vehicles and thank German leopards IA5 in service at Brazilian army. Some vehicles coming from the fleet from Germany and Belgium the maintenance in the equipment is very highly quality and the special focus in engine and transmission of course in the electrical and cannon and fire accuracy. The equipment are receiving the best one frequently measure oil, transmission oil and cooling fluid. This work have continue improvement! I'm recognize your job are to fixed and put on the road with good performance however not for military operations! However if necessary....go ahead!!! Thank you for sharing your job congratulations! 🇧🇷🇺🇦🇬🇧🗽 Slava Ukrynia!
One of these days I’ll have enough money to buy one like that and have it shipped to my farm in Hawaii because everyone needs a good tank.
I suppose I should be impressed, using the subject of a tank to let us know you have a farm in Hawaii ffs!!
Currently, it's 12°c, pissing rain, 12.30ish, but it is so grim it looks more like 16.30 in the North West of England.
Please be aware that flippant comments like yours can have consequences, such as jealousy induced depression on a massive scale.
👍🇬🇧
The centurion PROBABLY has to be my favorite tank. There's something I just like so much about it.
No-one should make fun of (or offer stupid advice to) someone who knows what they are doing and is grafting or on the tools when they are not unless they too are grafting or on the tools, then its allowed. Grafting it large as usual. Bravo Mr H.
Somewhere in some dank office a member of the HSE just had a massive coronary. Even Ted didn't want to supervise LOL
We in the Belgian army used the firehose, yes the big ones, to clean our tanks. It toon like 2 hours to completely clean it, and yes they were really clean! Great video again mate, stay dry, lol.
These videos really help to wind down after a crap week at work! Amazing you guys are keeping these machines running.
Not sketchy at all. As usual. 👍
Greetings from Australia. What you blokes need is a massive shed, concrete floor, over head crane, a dedicated wash area, lighting and a warm room to have a beer......
It really makes your day when your tank is clean as a whistle! 😊
This is what i love about this channel, It's all big, loud & nothing done by small measures.. And mud too, Keep it up lads.
lol at the REO front wheels about 2ft of the ground , rear tyres almost flat .. while the Foden is just sitting there like ' yeah no problem ' ..... good idea deploying the REO legs afterwards
I'd forgotten over the years just what an absolute beast the Foden was. Have vague memories of using tools/stands known as 'Elephant's Feet' being used for much the same purpose as your tree trunks during base overhaul of Chieftains at 23 Base Workshop in Wetter, (West) Germany.
as much as you say it is boring - I find it particularly fun to watch these sorts of videos! That Cent is absolutely stunning, will be a shame to see her gone! Awesome video yet again :)
That shot of Teddy would make an awesome merch design... "Teddy, the real Chieftan!"
When the current projects are done... you should consider making a work ramp for the tanks. Something to climb the tank on, with hydraulic rams to lift it off and then remove the ramps so you have full access to. Would make all those ops where you have to (inevitably) remove water or engine packs from under the things much easier too.
You should try the rotating nozzle for the power wash, but not too close as it’ll strip the paint. 👍
I can’t believe they Colin Chapmaned the rib in the tracks ..
I wondered what the difference was between a tank and a digger, thanks for showing the comparison 😀
Teds dietary choice is down to Ted, don't taste shame the poor lad! He's your boss you know.
But whose poo is it?
Jacks obviously, strikes me as the kind of man that would poo in a field@@ericmiddleton8367
@@ericmiddleton8367Now that's the real mystery here
@@ericmiddleton8367 Jack's?
@@RSW6666 - this is what I suspect.
I used to have a farmer friend when I was a lad... This level of farmering brings back fond memories, although we never had a tank to play with...
Probably for the best!
Whilst it would never make 'favorite tank' status in my mind I do think that the Centurion is the best looking tank that the UK ever made. THE most exciting moment of my young life in a small market town was when a Cent rolled through the place on the back of an enormous Scammell transporter - it actually stopped at the zebra crossing I was walking across and it's driver seemed to yards above the ground,
The other thing I was going to say is that seeing the Cent up on blocks is a bit like seeing that dodgy ford escort up on bricks while some pikey steals the wheels !
Highlight of my day, being told how I'm doing it wrong and don't have a clue. Farming simulator seems to make everyone experts . It never irritates me at all... Much 😄 Oh, and Last time I fed a pony, it looked a lot happier than that, your obviously doing that wrong too 😇😏
I'm curious about WHERE you manage to find these wonderful bits of history ?
They are Iconic symbols of a devastating war ,that rocked the world,and when I hear theose engines start,it gives me a warm feeling to know there are still people willing to preserve them !
Watchedthe one about rescuing the Cheiftain,from the paddock,and you showed what looked to be a T36 Texan trainer plane,and what looks like a Hawker Hunter jet ?
I spent 10 yrs in US Army,as a wheeled/tracked (heavy) repairman,with my last 3.5 yrs working on developing the XM1 Abrams project.
Love the videos,so keep it up!
As a non military oldie (58yrs), I thought the running wheels on a tank were driven, now I see they just spin when in contact with the tracks. Tamiya was right after all! Would love to pop over and meet you guys, if that could be arranged?
I bin done seen everything when I see an AVRE fly. I see a horse fly! Fab job love it thank you 😊😊😊
Adam only looks happy when he’s driving something big and green😂
To be fair, it's kind of hard to look disappointed when you're driving a tank.
Or wielding a hammer.
At around 3:30 when the foden is reversing around the building the rear axle hops about an inch sideways, don't know if that's normal or not if it is all good if not worth having a look at. I would expect tyre slip on the mud but not an axle shift. Big Bern. 👍
It’s a Foden thing they all do it
You chaps just have too much fun..... how about a video washing the right hand tracks!!!!! Thanks for another great chuckle video and cheers for now.
When I was repairing US Army Tracked Vehicles we had jack stands made to hold them. For the Abrams we used 3/8" plate cut into 4 pyramid shapes with a flat top. The base was 2 feet by 3 feet and the top was 1 foot by 2 feet. They were reinforces on the edges with 1 1/2 inch angle iron but to lighten them and make them forklift moveable we removed the center of the pyramid sides as well as the top, we took about a third of the metal out. Oh, yes the bottoms were solid plate.
To be fair to Ted, scoffing poo is just the next step up from rimming.
Educational
Mud everywhere you need a road sweeper clean the mud up and they have a pressure washer . It’s amazing you and your team do a first class job better then it left the factory 😊
Mud, Tanks, and cavalry. Couldn’t ask for a better Friday 🎉
I never expected Ted to go the full "Hilda Ogden" (there's one for the teenagers) 😂
Thanks for sharing Joe!
Brilliant thank you for making and posting always entertaining
Brilliant. Watching these mad lads at work really cheers my day up.
On ted eating poo,, try getting him some ‘nutripaw pre and probiotic digestive treats’. My dog used to do it at every opportunity, but since he’s been on these I’ve only caught him once. Basically he’s not getting enough nutrients from his food so they eat poo as well to try and get more. So it will probably be his diet causing this.
When I clean the tracks I always raise one end with the bucket and the other end with the blade and spin the tracks whilst blasting them with water. Spray off any mud on the floor whilst the digger is up, lower it onto a nice clean surface...job done.
We used to do that at a company I worked for until the H&S nob saw it and put a blanket ban on such ingenuity,so much that we had to sign a paper that we understood the rule.
Naturally once he fucked off it was business as usual 😊
Centurion on a treadmill, what a babe ! who'd a thunk you need to floss every track link, your right they don't do that on diggers 🤣😂
What's the difference between a tracked digger and a Tank .......one can dig a hole in the ground the other turns you into a smoking hole in the ground . Cool video as always 🙂
It would be costly. But you could do something similar to what the US military does. Drive the tank into a giant water pit/bath, which can help soften up all the grass and dirt by soaking into everything, then drive out and give it a pressure washing.
There is an growing shortage of awesomeness on the internet, but I can see that you are doing your best to fight the trend!
Keep up the good work.
What a wonderful bit of kit to have lurking about. Fun to drive in the fields and fun riding over logs too!
Great video, good idea. And Teddy also came to see. Very interesting, thanks.
I recall steam cleaning HGV's prior to MOT test. Not so much mud and soil but oil, grease mixed with road dirt. Nasty job.
Your cleaning methods are genius love your channel and what you do
Brilliant your videos are fantastic the amount of knowledge you guys have is what these videos so interesting. Thanks for sharing.
‘Jack’s mom..’
🤣🤣🤣
watching this triggers my reflex to mind my fingers and any dangly thing around moving parts!!
I like the jack stands!! Reminds me of my “shade tree mechanic” days…way back. 😂
Oh…weather similar to some parts of the US!!
About to rain-is raining-through raining. 🎉😊
JCBs and Transits, not all heroes wear capes.
Blimey not one cup of tea in sight ... Hardcore 😀
Definitely Probably one of the best videos!! Somewhere on uT is a video showing three Tank Wash set ups. One had a rectangular concrete pond with sloping ends that the tank was driven through, second had the same sort of pond with a number of manned fire monitors around so the tank was fairly well wetted down all over, and the third was a building with a mass of pipework with more sprinkler heads than you'd shake a stick at which the tank was parked in for a while. Don’t think any one of them would have render the tank fit to go to the States though.
About between the second and third wheel on the left hand side is a roundish hatch, I was thinking it might be for evicting spent shell casings but I think I saw something similar on the side of the turret, which would seem to be handier.
Something to do with the boiling vessel?
You often manage to think of a new way of doing tasks and give us a blast of incredible content, a swimming tank flat out in top gear, fantastic! It must have a special experience to be in that driver seat with the tracks spinning at that speed.
Nicely done chaps👍. I remember flying into Australia and watching the border force guys hunting for golfer travellers to check their golf shoes for grass/ debris. Better to declare and they’ll clean them for you. Must be a nightmare prepping for shipment. Great video,have a bonza weekend 👍
I’ve never seen Ted so happy as when your sweetheart tied the yellow scarf to his head and petted him with admiration. He went from dog to little boy with a big smile on his face with a proud spring in his step! Priceless. BTW, tank washing does not appear to be a job for the lesser men. Who would have ever guessed if not for you to show us the “way” (a path that can only be experienced and not explained) of tank washing. Thanks Joe. 🛠️🔩🧰⛓️🍻
No one who hasn’t had to clean a tank themselves can truly appreciate how hard it is to do.
Excellent Professional fork lift driving!
Look forward to your next video 😊
A great team, pleasure to watch.....
LOL @ the Clarkson reference , Hello ....i shall call you TESCO
Ted’s breath could probably strip the paint off the next vehicle that needs it
So nice to see your partner protecting the ears of your lovely dog Ted ❤😂 with the tank speeding up…..on the spot (excuse any spelling mistakes as I am Dutch)
Thanks. Sadly I enjoyed watching this video inspite of the uncounted number of times I cleaned centurion and leopard tracks for general inspections, tank trains and general maintenance. Didn't have suspended tanks or power washers either. Brings back many a painful and exaserbarating memories. But hey been there and done that
Much safer up on blocks than hydraulic jacks. You're not relying on rubber oil seals to keep it up.
that's how i clean my 1/16th tanks, with 4 old baby food pots under them 🙂and its a great demonstration of the track tension, not much sag at all!
I'm so envious of you guys.❤
Love you guys always fun to watch
Several years ago I visited JCB when the tele-hoist was a new thing. We were shown the early version. The one that didn’t have the battery under the engine cover which in turn was under the arm. Tricky if one had a less than ideal battery 😂
Very entertaining to watch as usual, keep up the good work. 😁
Congrats, that Centurion AVRI sounds really sweet.
Always a pleasure to join you on your journeys… naughty Ted!
Great video - nice solution to the problem 🙂
Imagine the carnage if your front wood slipped out while the tracks were doing 40mph 😄...
jack your car up, run it at 40mph, + get someone to let the jack down quick...
your car will lurch, then stall, same as that tank... [that is why we have gears for, it will only pull away in 1st, maybe second...]
Said the bishop to the actress 😂
@@bulletboy4288 My words were carefully chosen 😁😉
even more danger with back wood...@@bulletboy4288
OMG....this is your best video yet. ...Keep up the good work!
Further to my earlier comment about dropping logs. I thought your film was excellent. The American vehicle did well despite not having the capacity of the Foden. What a lot of work it is to export a tank. You have a great team around you.
Really one of the best videos!!
I turned on the transcript around 26 minutes in, just to see, it added a whole new level to the video. Thank goodness for literal Lysester translation
Thank you for another nice upload.
Hell of a job to get that clean enough to pass the clean test , good idea putting it up on big blocks . What happens if the tracks get dirty at the port ? What about a fire truck to use as a tank washer ? Think the army use super pressure washers
Ted just makes it all run smoothly. Great video as always and if doing it wrong works then keep doing it wrong 💪💪💪💪💪💪
Another great job, well done Ted
The music selections have been incredible!
