SU-152 Video Q?

[bbd468]

Hello fellas,

Does any one have any info on this SU-152 salvage video? Was it a long work in progress or did they just pull up, do a couple hours of maintenance and crank it right up?

Video:

Seems to run like it never sat in the middle of nowhere for 65 years.

Thanks for any info fellas!

Looks to be an ISU/JSU 152 and not a SU.

Something is not right?? Could not have been sitting there that long I don't think.

That was too easy

Gary,

From what I remember this took some time to get it running......seems like he had to re-adjust the timing and starter crank etc. I think it was moved to its present spot not long before. I thought there were some edits in the video...? Some of these vehicles remained in service for quite awhile after WW II.

This is not a World War II JSU 152 it's post war but still quite old. The side skirts are similar if not the same to the J10s/JSIIIs used in the Arab Israeli war.
