Tank Drives for the first time in 30 years! (T-34/85 part8)

We fit new injector pipes and start the T-34 for the first time and drive it!

The gas torch and spraying either at the sametime is a belter of inspiration...what could possibly go wrong..love it.

My old commander Chatty Taylor RIP, after leaving the army went to work on the maintenance team at the tank museum at Bovington. On my travels I popped in to see him now and again. He told me a story once that a T34 was parked up over night on a low loader. It was going to be used as a target at Lulworth. Discovering that it was a better example then the one they had in the museum, they swapped them over night.

its amazing to see this piece of history moving and running. albeit not perfectly but its moving.

[Sam-bci]

my grandfather was the commander of a detachment of tanks t 34, 85. He died on May 7, 1945 in Germany

The driver was looking positively demonic in that shot through the hatch...lol.
New to this series, but I'm hooked. You guys are hilarious.

Great to see the EGR valve is working well in the shed🤣. Well done ladies and gents.
T34 were notoriously tough to drive and a good work out on the steering levers, but apparently changing gear in them is a whole new experience.
Coming on well.

For a machine that was only designed to last a couple of months on the battle field the T-34 is remarkably well engineered.

that face at 13:25 😂😂😂
Congradulations, guys. after facing so many problems, you finally made the engine work

[ВатнаяфабрикаимениКрасныхпарти]

Ну что же, заслуженный лайк за мучения. Мехвод аж вспотел...

[Bargeman_]

GRETA has definitely left the building! But seriously getting to see the internals of a t34 Injection pump was awesome! I would assume these tanks were easier to start when they were new.

So cool seeing and hearing this tank run. Imagine hearing/seeing it in Stalingrad in the 40's. Thank you for the history lesson, from Texas.

Крепкий парень за рычагами! Молодцы! Мой тесть служил на таком командиром.

[peterlaszlo]

the way you casually repair tank motors is mind boggling to me. You guys definitely keep up the good work and never stop. cheers mates from transylvania

Экипаж танка:
Командир
Мехвод
Заряжающий
Радист-пулемётчик
И тот парень с баллончиком эфира и горелкой, который нужен только для запуска двигателя.
Молодцы, ребята!
Осталось только перебрать двигатель и трансмиссию ))

Cheers for putting up so much content lately fellas!! I’ve been stuck in the hospital for the last 20 days with a severely broken leg after a decent crash so you’ve definitely helped pass some time!! Keep up the great videos and keep having fun!!

[ccmyharley]

Seafoam dang it !!!! Yes seafoam will work wonders on stuck piston rings and so much more !!!! Love the stuff

[rhydtuned]

Amazing to see one up and driving around, imagine how many miles the Red Army tankers had to drive them all the way to Berlin

[andyishynin]

Большое Спасибо , что оживили старичка Т-43-85.

[ЕфрейторСвяткин]

А танк, он не за звёзды на мундире
Под Прохоровской ранен был в бою...
Спасибо тебе, Т-34, за боевую молодость мою!

[Catrik]

This video brought me so much joy! I love the weathered look and how the barely running engine struggles to move it around, blasting smoke all over the neighbourhood. Excellent filming and editing too, very enjoyable to watch! I have to watch this again on my big TV as soon as I get home :D
