Rusty MG34 Belt Filling Machine Restoration
In this video, I will show the restoration of the Gurtfuller34 MG34 Belt Filling Machine.
The goal of the restoration work is not to make a new device. The goal of this work is to make the device work for use in historical reenactments.
Gurtfuller34 Belt Filling Machin.
For the ammunition of German MG-34\42 machine guns, a non-loose metal Gurt 34 tape with an open link was used. Parts of the tape were fastened to each other with the help of a cartridge, the same link was attached from one end of the tape, which facilitated loading of the machine gun. For stuffing the tape with cartridges, cars of the Gurtfuller 34 and Gurtfuller 41 models were used

👍👍👍впервые такой гаджет вижу.Думал в ручную заполняют ленты,а им лень стало придумали модифицировать мясорубку.Вместо фарша патроны.Покрасить в тёмно зелёный.
Now that is restoration. No fillers, no paint job, no shining results. Thank you.
No fillers, no paint job, no shining results = *NO RESTAURATION !!*
So... I've been reloading belts by hand for my MG34s for 20 years and never knew this tool existed. I'm feeling pretty stupid right about now. Excellent restoration. Back to functionality without removing 75 years of character.
How can you operate a historical piece of equipment and not know about stuff like this?
Your MG34? Are you stuck with the world war? Is it still usable?
Nice . That is some pain of a job to do by hand . Check out the videos of the big sandy shoot their is a guy reloading a belt for a 42 with one of these machines .

@@Mr_Fancypants How do you know about bicycles? The basic function is the same, modern military use the same typ of "charging mill" (I have no idea how to translatae it)
As the owner and user of a US 1918 belt filling machine, I can say that thing is SO much better.
I'M SORRY,,,,BUT THIS HAS TO BE THE VIDEO OF THE DAY FOR FOLKS LIKE THIS. WELL DONE BROTHER,,,,WELL DONE!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!
I love how this hasn't been filled with filler and powder coated amazing job 👍
Exactly what I was thinking!
100% agree. It’s refreshing to see a restore and not a remake!
Do you understand the meaning of “restoration” not a grease and slap back together?
@@nato4720 some of these "restorers" make things look better than the object was new. Folks back then didn't file casting marks, and didn't use filler, when some cast iron thingy came out of factory. So, is it restoring anymore? If they used lead paint, you can't find it anymore, so it's not accurate anyways. KZheadrs have spoiled people to think "restoring" an object should look like 10 times more better when it was new. That's what I think is bullcrap.
@@Njazmo what exactly is your point?….what i saw was an item all rusted up and seized and put back together and made to work again…within the parameters of ‘restoration’…what exactly is your take on the final product?
Wow. Just: wow. And a testament to German engeneering that, even looking like that, it STILL works as well!!!
not really? its a fairly simple machine, amazing restoration but the engineering behind it is kinda, well, simple
We had one of these in France in the shed for years, didn’t know what it was until someone told us. It’s in b]very good condition, not pitted or damaged at all. Good to see what it actually was for. Nice restoration.
Try to look for mg-34 somethere near that place)
В Советской Армии был подобный прибор, назывался : машинка Ракова. В ней можно было сыпать в приёмник патроны с разными направлениям пули. Он сам переворачивал патрон с досыланием в ленту. Очень быстро набивалась лента на 250 патрон.
...смотря этот ролик, сразу же вспомнил свою службу в армии, когда перед итоговыми стрельбами заряжал ленты патронами с помощью подобной мясорубки, эх были же времена!, вернуть бы колесо истории назад лет на40 назад!!!
Это называется машинка Ракова
@@stepanfedorov561 жена твоя машинка ракова 🤣
Удивительно, что эта штуковина заработала после восстановления. Вы умелец и у Вас золотые руки. Привет из Сибири, Россия.
Это да. Но состояние предмета не очень
В России такой механизм называется машинка Ракова.
@@user-zf1wc6yw3l и волочет статью 222. С разными подпунктами к ней. К сожалению. Так как предназначена для снаряжения того, что не положено гражданам. Таких умельцев в Новгородской губернии много. Мосинку в течение часа реанимировать могут.
@@user-cl5zg2ts8m машинка ракова не относится к оч. не фантазируй.
@@bobpolanski5419 Бобик статья 222 распространяется на все что стреляет и бахает, а также на принадлежности и ЗИП к этому, и ремонту с восстановлением. Поставь машинку Ракова и банку бездымного пороха рядом, при сильном желании полиционера ты сильно огорчишся. Другое дело что закон в России как дышло, куда повернул туда и вышло. Копать и продавать трофеи нельзя, однако поисковики, официальные с этого гешефт имеют хороший. А доказательства у меня этому есть. И не надо писать, что,, чёрные следопыты,, суки и кости погибших просто разбрасывают по лесам. Мой друг чуть не заехал по этой причине за списанный ещё в 90е оптический прицел к,, Утесу,,. Три экспертизы и полгода нервов. Если полицаи доебатся захотят, то доебутся.
I'm just amazed at how well it still works, even though it's so badly damaged with rust. Great sympathetic restoration on a historic item
It's a testament to just exactly how good that machine was to begin with. It's a phenomenally good design.

Now that was something new. Of all the WWII restorations I've viewed in recent history this one was the most interesting and something that doesn't get thought about in the Military arsenal of that era. Thank you for expanding that history further.
I am so freaking impressed. All I could think is how I wish my uncle was alive to see this restoration. He fought in the UK army from 1926 to 1948. He survived as a sgt having fought in every major battle in France1940, the desert all the way to 1943 and the Italian theatre through to 1945 armistice. They then shipped him off to Israel and didn’t leave there until 1948. I loved the history discussions I had with him when I was a primary school kid. He was a hard man but loved us kids.
And my friend .he most probably cam across the MG 32 .and most probably the last time this reloader was used it was just before or during battle
Amazing restoration I'm glad some people are preserving history and not just letting it rust
That “history” is a tool that was used by the foot soldiers of a mass murdering ass hat. Let it rust, Richard Cranium.
@L. S. I couldn't agree more
@@ojsefg history must be preserved so that future generations can learn from there mistakes in the past to make a better future
Thanks for the relief of not going all the way into the chrome and shine craze. Nice job.
Lovely to see a restoration that doesnt go too far and spoils it with a highly polished, mirror finish. Well done that man.
Отличная работа! Поздравляю с возвращением с того света очередного предмета истории.
етот предмет истории убивал твой народ или твой дед за немецев
@@maximua3772 Вы, дорогой, глупости пишете.
@@maximua3772мой народ убивали и немцы, и большевики краснопузые, эти и сейчас убивать продолжают.
Как говорил дядя Фольц.Хороший день начинается с зарядки☝
Thank god we built stuff to last. Thanks for storing history.
I have no words for how much I appreciate your work in preserving history. Beautiful work.
Me too ❤️❤️ thx for this nice Video!
Jawohl, ausgezeichnet! Good job! Happy holidays, best wishes from Germany👍
Редкая вещ !!!! Кому то повезло иметь в коллекции, отлично реставрированную зарядку на немецкий пулемёт.
Now that is a real restoration, no fake "painted rust".
At first I was appalled that you weren't doing any finishing and filler. But ultimately the look is uniquely apocalyptic. AND IT WORKS! More than anything it looks like a set piece from the film "Mad God"
Awesome film
Totally cool! Ain't lying, my jaw dropped when I saw what this machine actually does. What a great piece of history.
Отличная работа! В итоге полностью рабочее состояние.
I am glad to see this piece of equipment saved and repaired. There are a couple of things I really like about this video. First of all you saved/repaired it without polishing it to a mirror finish and painting it some ridiculous color. The other thing is that it wasn't a video with background music from a 1970s porno film! I also, truly appreciate that you restored this piece of history without a bunch of political correctness about it being gun related or about Germany, nazis and other B S... Take Care of yourself and be safe, John
Yes, the world is completely crazy right now.
Удивительно, спустя столько десятилетий этот аппарат работает, это история. Смотрел остальные ваши работы, супер. Вам просто необходимо открыть школу по обучению реставрационных работ. У Вас золотые руки.
It's nice to see a video that's less than 10 minutes out of release have 200 views.
Вы супер, Вам привет из Алматы
You are truly so knowledgeable in restoration of the old pieces. I enjoy watching. God Bless from Italy. ♥️♥️♥️
It's videos like this I love to watch. Seeing old WWl and WWll things come back to life again is fantastic.
Great work! It's amazing how the application of patience and heat can undo almost anything, usually without breaking it!
This art you are doing is mind blowing.. i can't stop watching your restoration videos i wish you can get the actual rusty MG34 to restore.. that would be awesome
habemus papa
Very VERY cool! To see that thing working after being a piece of rusted junk is just amazing!
Je n'avais aucune idée de la fonction jusqu'à ce que la resto soit faite, bravo.
Man would I love to have that. Awesome job!! really enjoyed that. Loved seeing it function at the end.
I was originally put off by how it looked at the end, but as soon as it started working it blew my mind. It's awesome to see how robust the mechanism is, i would still love to see a replica or something to ilustrate how it looked in it's heyday.
Puh-Leez add before and after shots at the end my guy.. NEW/BIG FAN.. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
that's so badass!!! My grandpa had a korean war version of it for 7.62mm rounds, but he never used it in front of me. When he passed away, my Dad built a wooden display case and mounted it on his workshop wall.
Great😀 After the restoration, now it still works after all these years👍
German engineering at its best
Somehow it reminds me of a zombie coming back to life, pitted and old but still moving. Great job, thank you.
Excellent. J'ignorais totalement la fonction de cet appareil. Merci et félicitation pour la restauration.
Amazing !! This is the true meaning of restoration! It is not about re-manufacturing everything.
Watching from Philippines good job 👍
Good job.very cool piece of machinery. I always thought they hand filled the belts in the field.I would have never remembered how to reassemble the thing,lol.👍
Con la máquina de rayo láser moderno,es una pasada el quitar el oxido, merece la pena y se contamina menos el ambiente al no usar productos contaminantes y de paso te ahorraras dinero y tiempo de restauración.Es un consejo de profesional no una crítica.Felicidades por tus videos.
Wow, what a good restoration job of getting the belt filling machine to work. I was wondering what it's purpose was, but now I know.
You are the master. 👌 Greetings from the Netherlands 🇱🇺😎
Сэр, Вы МОЛОДЕЦ!!! Актуальная вещь в наше время, на всякий случай ! , например.
осталось найти МГ 34...
@@BriGandCatи патроны. Впрочем, это на каналы поисковиков надо, они в болотах найдут что угодно;)
Incredible !! From seized rusted relic , to working order , truly brilliant work
офигенная работа !!!!!!!обожаю смотреть ваши видео !!!!!
I wonder where you get all this amazingly interesting stuff. I love the way you preserve history. Cheers to you mate!
This kind of thing is hiding in every forest in Europe
What an amazing piece of work to return that belt loader to operational condition, fantastic work, another piece of history saved👏👍
Wonderful work Sir. Recently I have seen a couple of videos about high voltage laser rust removal technology. Very intresting. I wish I could give you one as a gift. Thank you for showing us what is possible with these old mechanical marvels.
THAT IS THE LAYZEST RESTORATION I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!
Beautiful work, i *Love* that you are keeping the patina that shows some age and History. I hope many more to come of your work.
Love how you aged the wooden handle. Great content!!
VAYA..VAYA..VAYA ME IMPRESIONÓ ESTE ASUNTO DEL CARGADOR. UN GENIO EL CREADOR.
Very incredible of how you brought it back to life. It also gives a good history lesson of how things were done
I am amazed this guy puts all the pieces back correctly. I can't even assemble an Ikea chair.
I subscribed because of what you have done...very impressive video ...for someone who takes his time restoring something that's from our past that appreciates history as much as I do....well done thank you sir
Truly great work; some of those techniques I have never seen before!
Looks pretty smick now 👍 what an amazing piece of history.
Thats one of The Best restoration i have see..very good Job..Note 10
There is not much material left. In this case I would have tried Rust *converter* first.. Interresting Project. Thumps up 👍😉😎
That's just freaking awesome, well done dude.
Amazing! You brought it back to life.
This reminds me that there is always something new to learn about WW2.
Learning about the previous generation’s tasks that had to be done.
Excellent careful restoration. Great workmanship!
Great restoration. I am amazed it still works.
Отличная работа - профи! Лайк!
Очень интересное видео. Немецкие механизмы очень надёжные.
Without having seen your video I would never have had any idea that piece of equipment existed. I assume it is incredibly rare now. But fantastic job redoing it!
In fact, it was in daily use when I was serving some thirty years ago; Still in use by local national guard to load belts for the MG3 by Rheinmetal.
Testament to German over engineering. Still works will after all these years and with the condition it was in.
That's an absolute understatement. The MG34 and its bigger brother.tge MG 42 are still being made today .MG being built in 1934.MG 42 being built in 1942 .the newer version having 7.62 NATO. ...Hitler's buzz saw
@@Stepinup I know to well I owned an an mg34 for a few years and the engineering on it was fantastic.
Recent documentaries criticized the Wehrmacht for such over engineering. They cited the gas mask container, made of precious aluminum with fluted side walls. Other armies used simple canvas bags that cost a fraction of the amount and used no strategic metals.
@@ohgary We all know that German over production cost them dearly but that doesn't take away the fact that their weapons and equipment where superior in quality than the allies. Also dont forget how much weapon design was copied by the Americans and Russians after the war. The M60 and AK47 wouldn't exist if it weren't for MG34,MG42 and the STG44.
What a magnificent antique tool!! That would be really neat have.
That's awesome! I have several MG34 belts that I found as a lad living on Jersey in the Channel Islands.
Well I will d--ed never would I have guessed this one. Thanks Granny90
Awesome work. Put a smile on my face seeing it work at the end ❤
Das ist keine Restaurierung, sondern eine Reparatur. Aber die Funktionsfähigkeit ist wiederhergestellt, sie kann demonstriert werden - also hat es funktioniert! Gut gemacht!
Awesome work man you're keeping original and antique
That's amazing. Actually getting that to work!!! Wow.
I thought it wouldn't work anymore, amazing!
Нужная вещь. Без неё жизнь хреновая. ))))
*Лайк от Питерских копателей Войны!👍👍*
Built to withstand the test of time and war still functional will a little love amazing job
Que massa, parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏👏. Saudações do Brasil. From Brazil.
That steel is delicious covered with Chocolate and brown sugar. Awesome trick!
Those screws making it out in one piece is so satisfying
Awsome job yet again.I love your work and learn a lot from your videos.
I am kinda amazed you got this thing to work properly again.
Wow. I really enjoyed that! Brilliant!
When you think about it. Its amazing to think on how many lives that 1 component may have helped in taking.
☹️
а мы в армии ленту руками забивали. вот бы нам тогда такую машинку! красота!
Muito bom trabalho. Parabéns 👏🇧🇷
That is incredibly impressive. Fantastic job.
Very beautiful restoration Good job 👍👍
Alléluia!!!!!! magnifique restauration 👍👍👍👍 🟦⬜🟥
