Fantastic insights! Super Zeug!
Tankfest?

Tank english "Fest" german?
why?
glad to see the system where an apprentice works with a skilled engineer who passes on his knowledge and so it passes on I served my time in the mid 60s and we were probably the last of the traditional apprenticeship system before all the day, block, college thing happened nice to see it in operation keep up the good work

I like your stuff I like your no-nonsense method explaining things
Wow you really can explain this stuff very well
Maybe someone already told it. Bud the Leopard 1 don't turn whit his disk breaks. It turns whit his gearbox.
Great videos let’s have more.
Turbo chargers? Where is the exhaust turbine? They look like gear driven centrifugal blowers to me, or am I missing something?
I’m not an engineer myself, far from it, struggle opening a packet of nuts. But it’s so mint to see no shitty comments from people that think they know better. You know when you know a team knows there profession. Nuff said.
Thanks for keeping these two leopards alive! And for keeping them with Canadian markings. I served while these wee still in service, it was impressive to see them drive past us in the field. Ex LEME with fond memories 🙂
Awesome video, thank you!
What can’t everything be made so maintenance friendly like the Leopard
I can tell the guy in the Leopard engine bay is about the same age as me… His seamless switching from metric to imperial units is a dead give away 😀
Nice chatting to a mechanic who isn't trying to shaft me
M548. Engine 6V 53
Very well designed and narrated video. Fascinating to me as interested in mechanics much more than warfare.
Great documentary. Great people.
try the Australian Army for Leopard 1 parts. Just decommissioned their fleet. Could still be parts int he supply chain somewhere.
Takes longer to take engine out of Mark one escort . That’s German engineering for you
So in 1978, in Lahr Germany as a member of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, I took delivery of a brand new Leopard off the tank train from the factory. This was my tank to operate for the next 2 years and I ended up putting the first 2400 k's on it. And what a tank it was. Highly maneuverable, deadly and sooooo much fun to drive. And as described in the video we did in fact manage to do a field replacement of a power pack in 20 minutes. When we went on maneuvers our ARV (armored recovery vehicle) would carry a spare power pack on the rear deck so this task was rather easy. What a joy it is to see these examples being cared for and demonstrated for the public. Brings back a lot of memories of a young man of 18 years.
as a mechanic i wish everything i worked on was as well thought out as that leopard tank
It would be cool to modify one of the Canadian Leo's to look like the C2 MEXAS.
Maybe it's just the microphone but that lathe doesn't sound so hot
"we have 40-45 running vehicles"
French Army: Jean-Pierre qvickly, vers ze blanc flag!
Is Mark, Jonathan's brother?
I need a GIF of that soda can scene

The guide strip and spigots for the installation of the Leopard 1 engine pack was explained by Mark Hart exceptionally well and I've always wondered the system the German's incorporated for the quick field engine change.
He is probably dutch. (dutch accent)
This museum has more operational tanks then the royal dutch army. Good to see some of our engineers over there keeping their skills up to date. With stroopwafels everything runs much better. keep up the good work.
Fantastic work,they are doing!
I loved this. You do a fantastic job. Well Done.
I love the Leopard 1, such impressive tech for that time. Glad it served the Dutch Army.
incorrect leo 1 air filter ? those are the cool radiators
I spent 9 years with the Royal Canadian Dragoons. 3 of which I operated Leo 1's, its awesome to see you maintaining one our old girls. However I hate to be that guy but what you referred to as air filters is actually the radiator on each side. The air filters are mounted in the hull , and it was always a pain getting to those cyclone filters lol
Who downvoted this? The Soviets?
I'm genuinely surprized you have a Canadian Leopard running. We usually keep the equipment for decades past its life, and run it into the ground until there is nothing left to squeeze from it.
Great programme- poor subtitles. The word he is using is 'faults', not 'folds'.'Matilda' in English does not have an 'h' after the 't'.
Engine by Maybach ? MTU MB 836 designed by Daimler Benz I thought.
the hull on that poor leopard must be pretty thin. The Canadian C1 and C2 turrets shared the same hulls…. so a C2 turret just means the hull likely saw use far past its forecast life.
It used to be a thing of pride for how fast a maintainer crew could do a power pack swap on the Leaopard.
This must be the worlds best apprenticeship
