unlike the tiger, the turret doesnt need to come off to work on the drive train.

Except that's not the engine, that's the transmission. Take a look you can see where the drive shaft would connect at its rear and the out puts on both sides for the drive sprockets.

Besides the engine was in the rear.

Correct the picture caption said "changing engine in the field" - it is a transmission..but that guy is still pretty strong :)
