The best documented M3 Grant overhaul in history. Incredibly fascinating history and a wealth of knowledge for other reenactors. Polish tankers also served on these tanks. Kind regards.
This museum is the Best channel for restoration/overhaul videos !
“…these are wear washers..” “Do they come out in the full moon?” 😂😂 Great restoration, thanks for the full movie 👍
The tank is more than 80 years old, yet the bearings, final drive and transmission gears are perfect, as if they were made yesterday. We need to pay tribute to the people that designed, machined and build them. What an incredible job they did.
An hour and a half well spent. Congratulations to all involved and great editing Curt.😎
I've said this before and it's worth saying again. You people are just amazing. What you do to fix this collection of junk is necessary and so cool. Thanks again for all you do.
This is fascinating, my Dad was a Technical Sergeant with the 20th Armored Division "The Liberators". That's the Division that Liberated the concentration camp " Dachau". He used to fiddle with those giant GM engines and the Rolls-Royce Merlins they would put in the Shermans that his guys would drive. He was one of the fellows who would keep 'em Rollin' down the European roads. He left us on 7 July 1970. Miss him still, I do.
I was impressed by the mind-boggling number of parts and the skill with which they were restored, one by one, with precise workmanship. I had no idea that there was such a wide variety of tank parts, and it was a great learning experience. It was very interesting to see how the many parts were removed and assembled. I was very impressed to see the M3 running at the end! Thank you very much for your wonderful work. Please keep up the good work and take care of yourself!
Thank you Kurt for all the awesome videos this last year! Happy Christmas to you, and everyone at Aus armour.
It looks absolutely awesome and the smile on Darrell’s face says it all 😊
Workshop Wednesday+++ I am in heaven, Thanks Kurt for a fantastic job, plus thanks to the team for the brilliant work they have done to make the Grant a success. Cheers & Merry Christmas
Dear guys, This Australian WWII M3 Grant Tank is absolutely beautiful restored and this project was done with a lot of love, a great precision and eye for every detail. Everybody can see with how much dedication this restoration is done so I’m very very impressed. Look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands
I wasn't expecting a 1.5 hour video drop, but its interesting to see all the segments as one doco
What a transformation !. You guys must have such a sense of satisfaction. Spending a year of your lives turning a wreck into a running machine that will bring enjoy to thousands. We are not worthy. Cheers from Blighty.
As a retired master mechanic I totally enjoyed watching your rebuild. It must give you great pride and many bumps and bruises. Great job A+ Vietnam Veteran
Always thankful for my WW fix. Thanks Kurt!
I'm sitting here building a Lego Concorde whilst you guys are putting together a WWII M3 Grant with Australian specifications. I'm guessing yours is slightly more difficult than my build!
One of the very best tank restoration videos I have ever seen. Thanks to all of you!
Brilliant job fellas and a great job in the editing also. Have a Great Christmas and New Year. Hope the Cyclone didnt cause you too much grief.

The M3 Grant series is what introduced me to Aus Armor and now I look forward to every workshop Wednesday.

Really enjoyed the "long version" of the restoration, even after having seen the earlier short episodes. Keep up the good work!
Stunning
Mighty Effort Daz, jessie and Ryan . Awesome work . Great Video Kurt
I found the site by accident and was thoroughly enchanted and fascinated, through the entire restoration process. Your folks at Oz armor have done a wonderful, wonderful job and are 😊 dedicated to the work that you've undertaken. You are now one of my favorite stops on my KZhead tour. I will always be checking in with whatever you do.
Absolutely incredible. I’m so grateful I happened across your channel. Given its shortcomings, the Grant remains my favorite allied tank of WWII. As a kid, I dreamed often of having one. To see this - not just restoration, but miraculous rebirth, makes me feel as if I achieved that dream. After watching you all pour yourselves into this, I can barely imagine what the crews and mechanics went through all those years ago. Thank you again for such an amazing presentation.
great video..good to see young guys learning the knowledge and carrying on the torch
Great to see this again. Looking forward to see what you do next year
I love to watch these guys working. They really know what they are doing.
Fantastic effort by all involved. Thank you for sharing. 👏👏👏
