M3A3 Grant Tank, Getting the tracks on. Wow what a week, it's been like working on the sun with the temperature this week, along with the gas axe and every stuck nut and bolt. We know we will have to take all the wheel stations off and repair or replace some of them, we did some crazy bodge jobs just to get the tracks on and ready for the Capel Military Show but we got the job done just in time...

M51 Super Sherman Restoration Part 2
We salute you, genuine WW2 veteran heroes ( Europe, Asia, etc). From the family of the late Chief Lieutenant Herminio Celis Angeles, 3006 Baliwag Police Department ( Commonwealth army sergeant) Philippines 🇵🇭 VA, 1930 🤝✨🌎🤳🏅🎖️🎇🎆✌️
Not that it matters but the M4A2 were used by the Americans in the Pacific and in Europe the French under LeClerc and the Poles.
Also lots sent to Russia
How much is it worth is the question I'd like to know.
Can't say, sorry
16:55, WOW!!! It looks great with the 76mm turret!!!
Mick, I thought that was your Sherman in the last video. Is the new owner going to try to replace some of the interior of it? Either way, it looks the part, and I'll bet it's fun to drive around at local events. Cheers from the USA.
No my one has a real hull (with sandbags) and fiberglass turret, they made a good pair on the battlefield at events.
Very cool. You guys have the best projects.
It looks great, I am very impressed! It did not seem to take long for the build.
Mick, you seem to have a great amount of fun with old tanks! When are you starting on the Guiberson project? I don't know of a single tank in the US with one? I am trying to get my hands on an AVSI1790 to play with.
Still waiting for the Guibersons to turn up
What a great event, Mick. I wish this was being done in America. If it is, it's far away from where I live in New England. Thanks for sharing.
9:05, Now that's the way to break up the wood for a great campfire!!!
8:06, Mick, I thought all the machine guns were using propane for the firing effect. This M1919 looks like it's firing blanks.
So are propane and some are blank firing real guns
I saw a guy at Aus Armour flip the Grant tank he was working on over (minus turret) and got most of the crap out that way.
Yes I watched that one, it a good channel
Great build! Are you able to share the plans you have? I’m working on building this vehicle in 1/35 scale! Thanks!
I built it by eye really from photos, sorry
@@514thmick Thanks for the reply! Any chance you have a collection of photos you can share? Feel free to drop me a message or share and email and I'll reach out! Thanks!!
You guys need a needle gun bad
We got one, you can fit the chisel to it or the needle gun fitting but it don't do much to the big slabs of rust coming up off the floor, we need to lose that stuff first before we start needle gunning it.
Who filled the final drives with chocolate sauce? I'm surprised they weren't filled with rust and cobwebs to be honest :D
I think you guys are nuts for taking this on...but I'm glad we have people like you in the World...otherwise a lot of this stuff would simply cease to exist...keep up the great work...
Yes we are nuts lol
It has been a long time since I last saw a 903. They didn't work out well in trucks here in the states. It should work well in that tank.
We have put a few VT903's in \the Sherman's, never tried fitting one in a Grant, should be fun.
10:23, Mick, how do you get all that sludge out of there? Will you have to take apart the differential to make sure it's clean?
Clear out as much as we can by hand, then put a load of diesel oil in there and tow it about in gear for a bit, the drain plugs are still out and its still slowly dripping out.
@@514thmick Diesel is great stuff to clean a dirty oily mess..
🙏🙂🤟✌️💪👍👌👏😎🇹🇭
That's a lot of hard boring work that must be done. I wonder how much of the original metal thickness was lost to rust?
Hell let loose
You have to appreciate the dedication of a restorer who starts with a tank that guzzles gas like its being paid for by a nation-state and THEN adds sand bags to make it get worse gas mileage.
As it has a Cummins V8 diesel engine it's not as bad as most petrol Sherman's
These vehicles are worth $100s of thousands of dollars. Call Aus Armor!!
its all posted on the video, location and everything, if Aus Armour want them, happy to help.
These vehicles, even in the shape they are in are worth $100s of thousands of dollars.
You probably saw us in our jimmy there a cckw with fresh paint and Florida flea on the door
Are you willing to restore both of those tanks it brings me a smile when I see things like old military tanks being done up
It's good to know that you're preserving lesser-known vehicles like these. Is that the same 'rubber band' style track from US WW2 halftracks? It looks like the suspension is a bit different.
Same track but longer and wider than Halftracks
Mick, you can count on me watching all of your videos. Cheers from the USA!!!
Thanks
Mick I have a friend with three of these tractors, he needs a carburetor if you know about one? PS: he also has an LVT and four Guiberson engines. The plan is to put a Guiberson into the LVT. I like the idea of the 6BT engine in the Cleatrac. Cheers Mike
I think we have one busted carb left but I think we might need it for the wreck at the end if we get that far with it.
Mick, how much is an M2 Cletrac worth in running condition like the one you were driving?
All of these are for sale, I think Ian wants £27,000 for the diesel one, it's the new made tracks on that one that makes it so much.
Amazing how many of these old iron will still turn over compared to the newer stuff.
That one sticky piston is the only problem with that old engine, we are hoping it will free up a bit more after a few more weeks of lubrication and turning in now and again, we will see.
Thanks for sharing, Mick!!! The FV4005 is a beast.
🙏🙂🤟✌️💪👍👌👏😎🇹🇭
My father's outfit 475th FG SWP Theater had several of these.
Hotdog 7 what a callsign
Exactly what models of Shermans have you got, here?
M4A4 with the sandbags on ad a copy of a M4A2
Mick, you get to have way too much fun!
Why is that truck painted in black and white cheddar paint?
Looks like an airfield control truck
It's an airfield mobile control tower
I had wondered..
🙏🙂🤟✌️💪👍👌👏😎🇹🇭

Very clear talk!
Damn dude, go buy a bloody gimbal for your camera. There is 1 thing worse than a "Potato Camera Video" and that's "Shaky Hand Video". Someone complained about my old videos just like what I'm doing, so I went out and bought a gimbal....
No, can't be bothered, don't watch it, problem solved lol
Damn dude speak proper english like what i does
lol
whats the price of Hamer H1
No price not for sale
Looks like a neat sector of the business to be involved in. Do you set limits on what filmmakers can do to them?
We wont let them wreck good vehicles if HMS own them, but sometimes they buy there own to wreck or blow up.
Studios will soon be sourcing new/old vehicle wreckage from the Ukrainian war.
I don't think they will go that far, there are plenty of wrecks over here
It's amazing how wrecked vehicles like these can be patched up to look operable just to blow them up again in the movies.
That Russian truck looks like it could be a decent fixer upper.
It could but movies want wrecks to hire sometimes, there are good running ones at the other yard.
