Part 2 of the T-34-85 teardown. Steve and Dave work out how to get the main clutch apart without dropping the cooling fan (on a T-34 the fan hangs off the clutch, a design Soviet engineers were already wrestling with in 1941), pull the discs, and find scale and colouring that shows just how hot they’ve run. Steve explains why that matters: on a T-34 the main clutch is really only meant for first and reverse, with the steering clutches doing the work of getting the tank moving and turning. Along the way: a lock bolt with no nut, a missing ball, some agricultural modifications, a bolt assembled with nature’s Loctite, and the world’s longest split pin removal. Then the steering clutches, and the real culprit. They’re dry clutches, and they’ve been soaked in oil, running more like a wet clutch than anything the designers intended. No wonder the tank was so unpredictable. When the US Army tested a T-34 at Aberdeen in 1942, its evaluators rated the transmission very poor, wanted the friction clutches abandoned altogether, and concluded Russian tanks were much harder to drive than American ones. Add 80 years and a few oil leaks and you get exactly what we’ve been fighting. Plus hand-hacked oil seals, new old stock from a former Eastern Bloc army, a left hand thread (again), and a sleeve that turns out to be threaded rather than pressed in.
