It kinda makes sense that an Aussie armor museum would work on their tanks upside down. 😆
-
Thanks Kurt, and especially Ron, he is a machine. I can now understand why he has been able to restore 13 tanks. For you Kurt he provides great content and I love the fact he engages the camera. When obviously he is focused on the job at hand. I am SO SO looking forward to nest Workshop Wednesday. Cheers

READ THIS ONE!!! The new tires for the road wheels can be found at a forklift or fork truck repair supply house. Or they can order you new ones. There is a shop here in Kentucky U.S.A that makes them. After the war, there was so much surplus unused tank stuff. The forklift makers started using and they became the industry standard. So now you can buy road wheel tiers for just about every armored vehicle from World War two.

Love the gradual escalation of tools used to free that turret ring. From a gentle nudge with a foot to the full industrial might of Australia, and finally pure brute force from Ron. Brilliant work
-
I'm most impressed with all the hard physical labor Ron is still able to do at his age. He must start and end his day with many Advil! lol. My body hurts watching him do all that work! Well done Ron.
-
Ron is the apitamy of work smarter, not harder and if that doesn't work, get a bigger hammer. With determination and knowledge, anything is possible. Seeing big boys with their big toys is always enjoyable to watch, so keep up the great work.

Love workshop Wednesdays
-
Yes they are woodruff keys.
-
Beers well earned on that one, Ronnie! Thanks, Kurt. Loving this series of videos.
-
That was the only time I have ever seen a resto project flipped on its roof and everyone was happy about.😂, great job
-
The key way is the slot the Woodruff key slides into
-
This fall... Ron for president. 🇺🇸 Tank you! He gets the job done.
-
Daryl's right, a split pin is actually called a 'Pin, Cotter, Split' under British military description and it was definitely a Woodruff key as well
-
Ring skills Jason, great hand signals Ron and hahaha " a good bashing fixes a lot of things....where's Daryl"
-
Ron is an absolute weapon!
-
Ron is exceptional, total confidence and so much knowledge. Expert is an overused term these days, but fully justified in Ron's case. Love your channel.
-
Well done Ron!
-
So Ron will be driving this in a couple of weeks? Split pin is a split pin, a woodruff key is a woodruff key, a cotter pin is an angled pin like on a bicycle crank.
-
Well done, great to see a new (temporary) addition to the team. Ron looks like he is happiest "stuck in" to restoring a new tank.
-
You're right, they are split pins in UK, the americans call everything they don't understand something else! Daryl is correct too.That was a great , entertaining episode as usual. Hat's too to Ron, for his tenacity in getting that turret ring loose. Thanks as always from UK.
