      plus this is german machining back during the late 1930's to think they made the gaer box then, so just think how complex new gear box's are and also electrically controlled and very expensive to make out of hi quality steels, the stuff they use today is nothing compared to the steel's used for a tank gear box, everything is over engineered and that's how germany made things all the time?

      @@7071t6 ..assuming they have access to enough rare elemental/mineral ores for processing towards specialist alloys, that is..
      But yeah, the 19th Century joke about German engineering being bad, really spurned them onwards, and considering just human 'computer' brains with slide-rules and calculation tables, with CAM-Auto Lathes & Milling Machines...
      ..Britain and the Coburg-Gotha parts of pre-unity Germany did share a lot together during the Victoria & Albert era..

    You should do an episode just on how you guys have to locate and acquire parts, being a mechanic myself, I know how hard it can be to locate parts for a 20 year old mass produced machine, I can't imagine trying to find parts for a 70 year old specific application machine.

I have family who are machinists, my dad worked for Timken bearings and I worked the Timken steel mills. We all agree those boys from Poland did a beautiful job! Besides the machine work I really love the narration of these videos. There are people who can read from a script well, and then there are others who can tell a story from the same script. This definitely falls into the later category! 🎉😊 Great channel!

    OMG the polish really know how to machine complex gear sets ,to think i am sure someone here in australia could have done the same thing, but it would have cost so much more, even with a template, which we did not have, but the polish did have spares and made new sets of gears for the gear box?

  • @Nebulax123
    @Nebulax123 Рік тому +1

    Awesome! A tip from an old man, when drifting in things like these bearings with a brass punch you want a big hammer and light blows it is easier on the parts and easier on you. I always used a short handled sledge hammer. It is more like pressing it in rather than using hard blows that can cock the piece or damage it. Big hammer, soft blows you won't damage anything. I learned that many years ago from an old machinist.
