What a fantastic video. I’ve never seen a T34 stripdown. I can’t image how difficult it must gave been for crews and repair teams to fix these things in the field. The thought of changing that engine in the depths of winter in a horizontal Russian snowstorm is just horrifying.

The thing that bothers me about @MrHewes and followers comments is calling the T-34 Russian. It wasn't and Isn't. Its Soviet. The USSR conquered Russia (and Ukraine and half of Europe). Russia and USSR are not synonymous. Once you understand this you can see why the T-34 cared nothing for the crews/mechanics (and why Russians were genocided by the group that began and ran USSR)

Fantastic video Joe.... nice haircut you’re sporting too! LOL Just a suggestion from an old industrial mechanic who still has all ten of his fingers......, Lift operators in our circle were allowed to take direction from one guy only during the lift process. Multiple mechanics working on a lift would report to the designated lift director who would signal to the lift operator. The operator would literally stop the lift operations if more than one voice or hand signal entered his realm. Never had a lift accident in 35 years while using this method. Our operators and support crew reckoned they had all the time in the world to NOT make a fatal mistake. No one was in a hurry once the lift was on. Our father taught us kids; never put your finger were you wouldn’t put your dic$. I have passed this method and sound advice along to many apprentice over the years. It’s was fun to hear them recite those words of wisdom as journeyman to their apprentice. My gift to you sir. 😃👍🏻👍🏻

I was an infantryman in a Marine LAR BN. Did a few combat deployments with the LAV-25 and LAV-AT. They are a sixteen ton wheeled light armored vehicle. In between deployments we would help the real mechs do extensive maintenance on these vehicles (which once the Global War on Terror was in full swing were being shuttled all over the world at different times. Some being rotated in combat. Some battle damaged. Some from the Reserve LAR BN’s. Etc etc). I feel the pain of “deep cleaning” a combat vehicles hull under the turret spaces and in the engine compartment It is a mix of oil and water and sweat and blood and urine and MRE cheese and other POL’s and ammunition residue and all other sorts of fun stuff. Once the mechanics had pulled the engines and all the other bits we would get into them with angle grinders and bristle brushes and get all of that greasy goop out and any rust. We had multiple “drain plugs” under the vehicle which you could pull and this helped with the clean out. Then clean them up real good and we spray painted a fresh coat of “sea foam green”. I hated working “on the ramps”. These we industrial facilities designed for maintenance and cleaning of heavy armor. Purpose built and it still sucked. But it goes with fighting an armored vehicle. I loved the LAV’s. Hit a mine with one once that detonated under our number one left front wheel. Blew my rucksack which was hanging over the left front headlight cluster to heck. Swiss cheese. Didn’t breach our vehicles hull however. Just my eardrums. Loved this video. That’s a tank with some history.
