Sherman tank M4 105mm engine starting

[creamofcardstv]

great tank! thumbs up!

[CHAULIEU]

Auxiliary generating set to come from a tank Sherman from the second world war.

It looks like new.

This generating set is in France.

It is to sell 2000 euros.

This has a radial engine? I though it had the ford GAA?

[Sodiumreactor]

when did it get a 105mm gun?

[rdfletch1]

@harentrois, I would have assumed the blue smoke is common of a radial engine upon startup and while cold. Or is this excessive?

[rdfletch1]

@harentrois, I would have assumed the blue smoke is common of a radial engine upon startup and while cold. Or is this excessive?

[harentrois]

@rdfletch1 It is true that a radial engine smokes a lot at startup, it consumes about 1 liter engine oil But here, the engine was worn out. He has since been removed for repair. The pistons and rings are OTC. Valves and valve seats are stitched. The engine is reassembling with new parts and will be tested late 2010, early 2011.

[StarTrekmanrulz]

@rdfletch1 You have to remember this is not an ordinary radial. Its a diesel radial so it acts a little different.

[rdfletch1]

@StarTrekmanrulz The Guiberson was the only diesel radial engine used by the American military, to my knowledge. The many variants of the Continental R975 in the M4 and several other American tanks was a gasoline powered engine adapted from aircraft.

[quentinlau]

The exhaust has a light blue colour to it. Someone told me that this is normal as it consists mainly of steam and the blue color comes from burnt leaked oil or something. Is this correct? Please enlighten me regarding it.

[harentrois]

@quentinlau The blue color is not especially unique to this engine. This is the result when the engine is running without muffler. There are still blues flames appear, it will see the engine running in a dark room.

[harentrois]

@quentinlau sorry, it's the wrong video, here is a problem of consumption of oil and gas not burned because of an ignition problem. Since then, the engine is disassembled for repair. Rings and pistons are replaced, and the ignition system must be repaired. That's what I'm busy doing.

[quentinlau]

@harentrois So is this considered abnormal, or is this condition commonly seen in the field back then would you say?

[TheRoge43]

cough cough..where did the tank go.....ah there it is!

[Crotiger99]

nice video i like tanks you have a god job.

[harentrois]

@Crotiger99 Thanks

[cammander263]

is that youre well if it is nice job , and how much are those things worth

[cristiandan06]

TIGER FOR EVER !!!!

[vardushik]

yeah for 1941-1945 it was maybe a good tank, but i think it drinks a lot of gasoline.

[WorbsJulian]

auch du scheise macht der ein gwalm des is wirklich in loden der "NEBEL"

[bhabynimfa31]

great!!

[Dinadin90]

Good job, Keep 'em rolling.

[RifledBarrel]

Sherman = Tiger snack

[paulstewartcrane]

Tiger = P-47's toothpick.

[Bamchucknorris]

@paulstewartcrane P-47 = Stinger's Breakfast

[Robert111]

@paulstewartcrane P-47: ME-262's "stationary" target practice.

[cobra96svt570]

@RifledBarrel 2 shermans w/ americans = dead Tigers. We had quantity and tactics, they had strength and big ego's that got crushed.

[rucajuda]

@cobra96svt570 agree sherman pwns

[diegomayan]

@RifledBarrel While the Tigers isn't breaking

[Wildschwien]

"Beim Gebrauch in geschlossenen Räumen für ausreichende Belüftung sorgen!"

Oder wie war das?

[WorbsJulian]

@Wildschwien das stiimt :-)

[Planbskate230]

While Sherman tanks had half the armor as Tigers and were easy to light on fire, Shermans moved and turned their turret much faster than Tigers. They were also easier to produce.

[Batner112]

Ich glaub die haben früher kein nebelwerfer gebraucht XD

Ich glaub aber der Motor ist noch nicht optimal eingestellt :)

[TransAmDrifter]

I prefer Maybach Tiger engine, but this one sounds pretty neat too :)

[Achwoss]

i didnt see the tank. i see only smoke!

[patriotsfz]

ol gas engines

[dakmandc3]

Music to my ears

[tijuanotj]

think green, piensa verde

[franchi123]

it dont sounds to powerfull

[qtpsp]

The Sherman has the power of invisibility!!!

[XJ12lover]

i've seen a few cars smoke that much.

[freezyguy666]

sounds like a muscle car :D

[freezyguy666]

what? i respect this tank!

[bumdrips]

You wouldn't hear it much as the bulkhead seperates it from the crew compartment !

[harentrois]

You right, the noise inside the tank is different from outside. There is a lot of steel noise, every parts are in vibration and it's impossible to talk without earphones and microphones.

[LoneSniperSG]

Imagine how loud that engine would be inside the tank.

[Bran247]

Sounds good

[windowssucks101]

Got to love those 1930's engines. lol

[purepils]

bad time to quit smoke'n

[grantourismo0109]

2 stroke diesel?

[mlatour911]

9 cylinder gas radial (aircraft engine)

[BaiatGigi]

nevermind I just read your profile :D

[BaiatGigi]

gosh I love coming back to this video every now and then to see and hear the raw power :D THis video is beyond cool!! What do you do for a living with these tanks?

[truckr74]

thats right, screw Al Gore. lol

[JXDeaLz]

HOLY MOLY @ THE STARTUP!

[rhenke]

That was quite awesome. If I were you, I'd want to hear it run more often than every other month. I've enjoyed all your videos as I love to see old stuff like that still running. Thanks a lot.

[supermoto3453]

what leter is this thing like a 10?

[AndreiTupolev]

my word, i've rarely seen such a collection of foul mouthed comments in one palce. Seriously, if anyone disapproves/it makes you angry/it makes you pour out a stream of obscenities, why bother watching it? Calm down, let those who do enjoy it do so withouth having to endure a stream of ranting.

thank you.

[jeroens87]

fuck the o-zone layer haha, the smel of the smoke very nice

[Separatist4life]

good bye o-zone layer.

[harentrois]

I start the engine once every two months. So compared to discharges from US industry and cars, it is really insignificant.

[dempsey088]

in reply to seperatist, fucking youtube always fucks up.

[farid1995]

NICE SOUND!!!!!!!!

[richlandfirefighter]

asume

[jeroens87]

nice sound, the smell of the smoke nice. fuck the environment

[fanofCOH]

who needs smoke grenades, just fire one of these babys up

[TestECull]

Fuck the environment and fuck you, a piece of history like that should not be silenced because of some cockfag that things ittl kill a bird or two...

[amyfischer]

i think hes making a funny not being serious look at the emotioncon at the end

[alex98uk]

@TestECull Wait... TestE... what are you doing here!?

[richlandfirefighter]

F*** you

[smilley28]

The Sherman is a peice of history. 60 years old!

[MyturBinisdrty]

with out these thing and with out the men in ww2 u wouldnt be speaking english

[Halofan11]

technically no because america came into the war very late. plus our main objective was to get back at the japanese in the pacific. we just finished the axis off

[blownglasslide]

Welllllll, no. Our main objective was to knock Hitler out first and then concentrate on Japan. At the start of America's entry into the war, Churchill and Rooseveltt met and agreed on this. Plus, before the Sherman went into battle with us, it was in the hands of our allies via Lend Lease.

[dutchforces]

Both of you talk bullshit.

The only country that realy had just the intention to beat the axis for friendly nations was Great Britain.

The US was in war with Japan but because of the ask for help, and that the US also needs Europe for trade and other purposes, they got into the battle here.

Russia killed most Germans (altough their own losses were 5 times as much), but they waited untill they got attacked themselves.

[blownglasslide]

I don't know exactly what you thought I was saying, but it is a documented fact that the leaders of the big three nations in the Allies met after Pearl Harbor and decided to put the bulk of their resources into the fight against Germany first, as the Germans posed a more immediate threat to two of the Big Three than the Japanese. That's not to say that the Allies weren't fighting Japan as well, just that the focus was on Hitler. I was jsut discussing tactics, not political agendas.

[gslice2120]

screw the enviroment its fucked up already from nuclear missile tests and shit. also sending space shuttles up into the atmosphere doesnt help it either

[Halofan11]

then move to a different planet

[basserase]

I wish I had one to drive to work. I could park where ever I wanted. Like to see'em tow that away with the brakes locked.

[aflacduky]

lol ya tire boot this LOL!

[doop01]

Lol xD

[amyfischer]

boy this ronson smokes alot

[Lockbar]

LOUD, but sounds smooth.

[mun2cat]

WAIT A MININ stone one bust i heart like not run like good maybe if you look power fire gas pull out hot

[optiplexgx11092]

Can i have your engine o bought a Grizzly and need an engine

[harentrois]

It's better for you to put a diesel engine air cooled with minimum 350HP. The Continental engine is fragile and need to much gasoline (350 litrers/100 Kilometres). It's not easy to find spare parts and when you find somes it's verry expensive. Sorry for my english. My mother language is French.

[walidot]

global warming!!!!!!

[charlivoo]

IS A LIEE

[stepxunit]

2bad it aint

[charlivoo]

i would say there is global warming!!! but its not caused by man!!! i blame the sunspots!!!

[jgarvin2092]

phew for a second there i thought i was going to have to post "shut the hell up"

[fbhn]

It sounds like a lung disease, not a tank. I´ve heard the original motor of a PzKpfw. Panther in a tankmuseum in Munster, Germany. This machine has got really power.

[ZerokillerOppel]

That's because it's an aircraft engine adapted for tank use. Still it has way more revs and a totally different feel and sound to it then a "normal" engine does.

[rocksteady68]

Hey Whiskeymedic, just finished building a model of a M4 105mm (just checking sites to see if I didn't missed anything as it's a conversion fron a M4A3 105 kit) which I intend marking as a 6th AD vechicle!

[LineDoggie]

Music to My Ears to Hear a Sherman Again

[nagmashdriver]

I really hate videos that have no narration, no explanations whatsoever. Where is this tank?? Army Base?? Britain?? Sumatra?? What year? What type Sherman?? Hello.......... We are documenting history here, folks!

[harentrois]

Are you a novice on this website or blind ?

On YouTube, you just need to look on the right hand side of the page and click on "more" (written in blue). By the way, Brussels is in Belgium CAPITAL OF EUROPE North of France (not in Asia... as most of uneducated dummies think).

OK ?

[Josef12056]

Yes actually it should be easy to know because Jean-Claude "Muscles From Brussels" Van Damme likes to mention Brussels a lot, even in his films! And yes it is very beautiful.

[M4V3R1K83]

ROTFL nagmashdriver, u are such a douchebag!

[p4lestina]

wow, and people complain about SUVs, imagine if driving WWII tanks became the trent?

[1230986666]

Traffic jams would become fun? "Hey what are you ... AAAARGH HE'S ROLLING OVER MEEEEEH!"

[LinuxGalore]

Nice work, burning a fair bit of oil though.

[N70er]

you don't know anything about radial engines do you??

[louswire]

burning oil is a fact of life with radial engines, (oil puddling on the lower cylinders, when the engine is off), burning oil is also a function of huge displacement gas engines at idle, where manifold vacuum sucks oil past the valves, straight into the cylinders.

[citi0rhythm]

lots of stories to tell from bck then~

[Stikkmann]

That is awesome. I hope it brought back good memories for him.

[Residentevil95721]

lol

[Skilppari]

Hahaha "Tommycooker", pretty crappy, eh?

[veltro75]

That Sherman smell. Smells like victory!

[panzercoolie]

Smoke like nothing else when cold but a ddream to drive, drive one of these and the M10, if you have a copy of "M4 Sherman at war", I'm the guy driving on the inside cover and page 114

[Mustang1204]

did i here a misfire? ;)

nice tank

[Everceman]

geil

[Technomonkeyuk]

god i can taste the fumes! good vid :)

[mountfields]

has the cameraman recovered yet?!!!!

[gr8tfulsoldier]

ooooooh yeaaahh...!

[SnowAlpineBunny]

I thought they only put redial engines in aircrafts

[Hiei2k7]

Actually, it was an innovation over WWI/early tanks, where the crew rode next to the air-cooled engine on the INSIDE of the tank. WWII came, and they came up with putting Radial engines in a separate compartment from the crew, to help with the overheating problem, because Radial engines are air-cooled. Liquid-cooled piston engines were worked around and still stayed in the Military.

[SnowAlpineBunny]

Go for a Rolls Royce Merlin 50 Liter V26 with nearly 10 000 horsepower

[packhowitzer]

thats the same with all radial engines we have a sexton self proppelled gun at the royal armouries fort nelson here in england

[niacin6672]

Love the oil accumulating on the floor from the exhaust!

[harentrois]

There is too much engine oil going out of the exhaust, I'm gonna check the engine after a remembering day in Holland first w-e of may. Now you know wy my tank named "Spit Oil" :-)

[ck002]

we had a C4 for our sherman, it had the same problem with gathering oil in the bottom 4 cylinders. weve got a GAA V8 for ours now

[paul8246]

it is very foolish to view right front the smoke it is will spoil the view to viewer

[s1harmonie]

Smokin !

[mig7u]

just a bit ;)
