WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY: StuG III transmission disassembly!
#WORKSHOP #WEDNESDAY #StuG #III #transmission #disassembly
“The Australian Armour & Artillery Museum”
Against all the odds, we sourced and acquired an original WWII StuG III Transmission. But what’s its condition like inside??? Beau and Steve pull apart and inspect this unbelievably complex and rare piece…
Follow the progress of our restorations every Workshop Wednesday! 😱

If it was me doing it Steve F wouldn’t stand for front!😩😂, another fantastic episode guys, thanks.🇦🇺
Typical german engeneering. Complicated gearbox for – how many hours in action- vehicles. Russian tanks for example were hard to drive, gears change only with two hands possible. Bad for crews, good for production.
German tanks were completly overengeneered. Technical side interesting, but for what?
I like your videos and great respekt for your work- and the men, who constructed and build these machines
Hello, is the stug transmission parts list publicly available ? If so, can you by any chance provide link? Thank you
Question: does Beau have a partner cause he's cute?
Sooooo jealous of you guys. What a great job your doing working on this beautiful piece of engineering..
Cmon guys, my stug 3 crew in war thunder can rebuild a transmission that took a solid shot through it in under a minute.
This gearbox is in an amazing state of preservation, love seeing these uploads on rare WW2 German technology.
I can see why Beau wanted a full strip and clean. This transmission is in amazing condition, but all that hardened crud would have destroyed it.
I've worked on a few ZF gearboxes from the 1960's for the Maserati Ghibli and Aston Martin DBS. I thought that those gears were huge…until tonight! Wow, auto mechanics are trembling at the site of the size of these gears. Your narration is excellent- that Stug gearbox is a work of art. Just the ally casting of the case halves- I would have loved to have seen the factory that made them. Hope your viewers appreciate just how physically demanding this job is- just the weight and size of everything! Torque values must be enormous on those shafts. Great work, thank you.
Seems overly complicated.
It is kind of Crazy to think and try to believe that after all these Panzer Tanks came straight out of the factory they where sent off just to be Destroyed, With such immense craftsmanship and detail .
You used mom's table cloth for that!
Oil and steel were made for each other — of that I'm convinced!
It never ceases to amaze me how well engineered German Machines are! But it's also no wonder that they couldn't more than they did! You guys are going to be Experts on everything German…
I'm blown away by how over manufactured these German vehicles are compared with how long they actually lasted in battle. So much effort for so little. As opposed to the Russian ones which were not built to last as the life expectancy on the battlefield was very short, just churn them out as fast as possible.
I can’t even get the flashlight batteries back in the right way first try.
that made them loose the war 😉
Do any of these parts their original part numbers?
I’m assuming the gearbox was so complicated that if one broke in the field, they’d replace the whole thing with a spare. Then work on the broken one if and when time permitted.
Watching you guys tear these things apart I try to put myself in the shoes of a mechanic when these were in service in the field and how hard it would have been to fix something like this the work you guys do is honestly my dream job all I can do is keep building race cars and fixing machinery
5:10 – * cue "The X-Files" theme * LOOOOOOOOOOL
Thanks again for the content Kurt!
For international viewers the comments "There was movement at the station" that may not be obvious come from The Man from Snowy River by Banjo Paterson.
There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around
That the colt from old Regret had got away,
And had joined the wild bush horses – he was worth a thousand pound,
……….
2:38 I suddenly crave Oreos and milk…
Amazing to see this great vehicle that was driven by heros and patriots being given this care in restoration
Like the bleep @ 12:53 ! What an absolutely amazing piece of over-engineering. Must have cost the earth to manufacture, that alone design. Would be interesting to compare with the American equivalent.
If it was a French tank the reverse gear would be completely worn out.
