I was a mechanic and recovery vehicle operator in the US Army for 20 years, spent thousands of hours doing this service. Don't forget to check the oil in the geared hubs, the small reduction gearboxes at each wheel. They do not hold much oil, so even a small leak can lead to a catastrophic failure. Love your channel, keep up the great work!!!

The HMMWV should start fast. You should check the smart start box and glow plugs.🍻

Brilliant as usual, Kurt is a natural narrator and the quality of the filming, editing, sound etc... as good as anything done on TV or YouTube.

That brings back memories. Days upon days spent in the motor pool under a scumvee taking a nap because we had already pulled daily, weekly, and monthly PMCS. All you are missing is a drip pan, a chock block, and the pioneer tools and rack.

I can watch you guys drive your panzers all day.

GOOD JOB GUYS

Never realized that native Aussie critters play some great music! Thanks all ❤

I came home from working on heavy equipment all day. To watch my dose of workshop Wednesday to see you doing what I just did all day. 😂
-
Appreciate you asking questions that might seem like they have obvious answers to others, Kurt. 👍

It`s nice to see a different kind and era of vehicle. Keep up the good work and the diversity in showing different types and ages of vehicles!
-
Allways pleasure to see professionals working. And not need to get dirty, just drink coffee and relax😊
-
Nice change. Good to see some of the other people who look after the collection

The new chap Rob, reminds me of the vintage Action Man sailor with realistic hair and beard ....

That´s a very early Humvee. Hints are the remnants of the early one-armed mirrors in front of the windshield, and the vehicle data plate on the outside rear left fender. Only very early Humvees (say ´85 or ´86) had those plates. I´m pretty sure the gunner protection kit on the turret was later added on, as it was usually only used on later M111x or M115x Humvees. Great episode, as always. I just posted a link into our Humvee owners group.

Thank you for explaining everything that is going on and the "why". Have no idea about engines but love Workshop Wednesday and feel like I learn a lot. Salutations :)

Tuned in tonight to see more tank bits but got a humvee oil change! Great change and although not a tank still sexy! You guys do great work!
-
Its amazing that the museum staff just happen to have all these spares ready to hand and know what substitutes can safely be used. Most impressive - as usual.
-
Amazing channel! So many running vehicles!

What a job, park an 80 year old panzer in the morning and perform detailed maintenance on an old battle wagon, then take it for a ride. Great video. Thanks!
