Inside the Chieftain's Hatch: T28 Part 1

I only come here so I know how to tension tracks properly.

"It's just slightly faster than the concrete bunkers it's supposed to be fighting."

Good to see The Chieftain is still gainfully employed.

I can imagine the soldiers in panic retreating from their positions screaming "oh lawd it's coming.." while walking away

48 inch wall crossing is achieved by going through the wall.

Ah T28/T95/T28, World Hide and Seek Champion and the thing I like enough that when I found a legally-distinct not-Lego brick set of it, I immediately got it. Glad to finally see a Chieftain's Hatch video about it.

I couldn't but "Like" fast enough! The "T95" was the whole reason l started playing WOT some 7 or 8 years ago. I had no idea such a beast existed until l started seeing replays here on the 'tube.

this 90 ton wonder has twice the reverse speed of the T-72?

i hope the cut section will be available as a part three or bonus video. the procedure is pretty interesting and according to the museums video, all of the tools needed were still stowed in the outer track sections. also, i hope this means that T29 might be getting a video. have a good holiday Chieftain!

Getting a look inside the T28 -- best Christmas present ever!

Saw this big boy as a kid a couple of times when it sat outside the Patton Museum in Ft Knox. Stoked that it’s being taken care of

Remember seeing the T28 at the Patton Museum in Dec of 86 while going through the M60A3 tank commander certification course. Humongous vehicle.

I don't mind coming back for part 2 at all. I look forward to it. Cheers

The GAA engine was a cut down version of what came to be called the GAC which was a V12. The GAF was an aluminum version of the GAA. The original Ford design was for an engine to replace the Rolls-Royce Merlin and Ford tried to produce it in place of (substitute for) the Merlin which is why Ford's contract to produce the Merlin was canceled and a new contract for the production of Merlin went to Packard. I have been told about 50 of the GAC engines were produced for T28 program and it was believed that the preserved T28's had them. If they really have GAF V8s that would conflict with most accounts.

The Chieftain AND the Doom turtle in one video?!?! Christmas comes early!!!! ; )

During one of my assignments at the Armor School I remember seeing that contraption sitting in front of the old Patton Museum at Fort Knox and wondering "What in the heck are those winches for?" They didn't have the outer tracks on it when it was plinthed.

The only tank to ever win a game of hide and seek, Yes I remember Chieftain mentioning it once upon a time.

Now that I live here in GA minutes away from former Benning, now Moore, I definitely have this museum on my "to do" list... except it's not open to the public 24/7. I missed the last open to the public event. I'm still kicking myself over it.

6:02 Lol i not expect that description:):) And his face after that is like:Yes that is from book...

The old girl actually looks better than the last time I saw her at the Patton Museum. Back then she was an outside display and had multiple coats of a really dark green paint.
