M35A2 Military Trucks And More Stuff! Almost ready for Excavator.

Which trucks will run, which will not? Always a surprise to see old military trucks start up after sitting for a long time. Almost ready to bring in a large SANY excavator for the Fortress Depot Upgrade... I wonder from who........?

Thank you!

I love your videos. Not about politics. Not about drama. Just about your projects. Sometimes about problems. But mostly positive stuff about moving things forward! And I enjoy seeing your progress! No matter how slow. It is progress! Fun to watch. And a nice break from all of the other BS on YT. Encourages us all! To move forward! Thanks for sharing. Jim Gillespie. Reno, Nevada.

[@Leofred2000]

Let me help you with that: "Hey Al. You need to donate all your trucks to Ukraine or else you're a maga Trump supporter paid by the kremlin and probably a foreign spy being on the CIA surveillance list". Better now?😂

[@HyzerThanYou]

Yes. Much less drama than his employer. Alan is one of the reasons I continue to watch sparks content. Alan is salt of the earth.

[@whiskeyinthejar24]

Do you watch diesel creek? Highly recommend if you like starting up and fixing old machinery.

[@DanielWoodenJr.-cm4qd]

Love those old dueces and the whistling turbos😊

[@serablack4669]

I love when you said yeah I still have a few trucks to move... As you show a whole fleet of trucks.

[@gregsabo6371]

I used to hear that buzzing sound in my sleep after I got out of the army

[@donaldbrown6707]

Me too, we used to use them for everything. I loved how tough and versatile they are.

[@f.k.burnham8491]

Alan- On some of those you MUST MANUALLY reset the fuel shutoff valve. I noticed you just pushed the cable in. That does not reset the emergency shutoff valve, at least on my M925. Without the manual reset of the valve, it will not start. HTH

[@KennySmith_AKA_JerseyKid]

Yeah lol you remember the cold weather trying to start those trucks

[@edwardwilliams9874]

Good one brother take care be safe

[@deane9996]

I had my truck in 1979 I was issued the 5 ton with the S&P trailer until I left in 82. Sure I drove other vehicles or equipment but the 5 ton was my baby. She’d go through that mucky peanut butter type mud like she had all wheel drive. What I miss more than my truck is the friendships we all had in our days back then. I’m sad now feeling homesick for my military family. And oh how much I remember having to do cold starts on the truck in the brutal Winter in Western Europe 😊

[@scottzehrung4829]

I was USAF during Reagan’s time, our 5 tons had an ether can inside on firewall. Had an electric switch you’d hit before the really cold starts. Loved that smell in the morning. Miss my old buddies as well, still keep in touch with a few.

[@KennySmith_AKA_JerseyKid]

@@scottzehrung4829thanks for your service and your support for Western Europe. I too served under president Reagan 56th Brigade 1/81st FA Alpha company 3rd platoon 79-82. I often mention my unit because many whom I served with I can’t find through any place where we can reunite. Yeah dammit I am homesick missing them

[@scottzehrung4829]

USAF 12th Air Force, 602 Tactical Air Control Squadron, 83rd Tactical Control Flight. Understand, my unit was broken up and now falls under control of the special forces group. T.A.C. doesn’t exist anymore.

[@Itsxthebk14]

Why do military guys always always feel the need to let everybody know they served, somebody can be talking about a wiffle ball and a military guy will think of something having to do with a wiffle ball and use that as a reason to make everybody aware they served

[@KennySmith_AKA_JerseyKid]

@@Itsxthebk14 That was a rude thing to say

Your a power house Alan 🤘🤘🤘 much love from AUSTRALIA Thanks for all your extra Efforts on your channel and Heavy’s channel too

[@mygarden365]

Those trucks sure have a beautiful sound!!

[@matttafakt]

Pretty Sure Alan could build a space ship but building a fortress on top of a mountain in the middle of no where is just as smart

[@lorditsprobingtime6668]

No no no! Nasa know all about him and have him ever even trying. They know he'd embarrass the hell out of them, Musk or Bezos and they can't allow that to happen, that's why they gave him a mountain and so many toys to fix and the building PLUS now working for Diesel dudes to keep his genius mind too busy to think about solving all their problems and making them all look silly🤓

[@lorditsprobingtime6668]

@MtnFortressLabsa I support Al, NOT some scumbag scammer PRETENDING to be him.

[@TsunauticusIV]

I’ve wanted one of those trucks since I was a kid. They are so beautiful!

[@devingillis9661]

Loved this. I'm 54yrs old served in the Army 89'-97. Wheeled vehicle operator. And the deuce (the knuckle buster lol) was one of the first vehicles I operated. Loved seeing everything on those especially Loved hearing them fire up!!! I'm jealous of your fleet...

[@wesman7837]

Why is it called "the knuckle buster?"

You are a wild one Allen. Can believe how easy some of the trucks fired up for you. Keep up the good work and your can do attitude. Say hi to the two daves

[@RowanMangion1976]

What are you going to do with all the trucks ?

[@TorchIGN]

hoard

[@HalfPintsStumpGrinding]

Love the collection. You should make 1 or 2 good running workers. 💪💪

[@Ellis157]

talk about Dimond in the rough that truck was ready for work first start

[@overland.viking]

I remember when Sparks first went to your fortress and then you ended up working for him. I had no idea that you were going to be such a vital member of his crew. Now I don’t know how they would make it without you. Pretty cool.

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

I've had good results from just filling the fuel filter or glass water bowl if you got one with either Dexron2 (or lower) ATF or Mystery Oil without doing a full priming. The ATF/Mystery Oil is a little love for the IP and is often enough to establish flow without a lot of cranking or bleeding. Best!

[@larryburling5621]

I would love to have one of those trucks

[@virgilio1355]

Alan you should consider selling off some of those trucks.

[@8056443232]

I guess I missed it - I'm sure he told us where all these beasties came from - anyone want to politely explain? Did he buy out an auction, did they come with the property, or has he just been collecting them over years?

[@billping2633]

Alan seems like a good guy. He is a bit of a hoarder. I got a friend just like this. He has 5 project cars and has been working on them for years. They will never be done. His house is the same way half finished. Won't ever be done.

[@manganvbg90]

Yea, dont see why one would hoard this much, unless its going up in value alot. But standing outside rotting away i dont really see that

[@willywonka7183]

Mad money!!!!

[@motomenace86]

Why's it any of your business with what he does?

[@sdmode]

man. what a field of cars. i would buy any of them lol. one of the best stock piles ive ever seen.

[@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C]

That last truck would be a perfect addition for our channel. We do a TON of stuff out in the S.E. Arizona desert. Would make a dandy shewting platform. Would you consider selling one ?

[@chuckerickson6721]

Dump bed would make a cool truck

[@yetibremsstrahlung9018]

Love it! You have the dream collection of different stuff!!

[@theLyzhendricks]

We got to see the fortress luv the vids man

[@marktaylor2863]

Allen, seems like you could sell a lot of your truck/equipment inventory to fund your building projects, keep a few of the best finish the Maintenace and put some coin your pocket to invest in the buildings.

[@christophergabour4907]

Love the channel. I'm sure at some point all of those vehicles were priced too good to pass up. But what purpose could they possibly serve? Between the vehicles, the fortress, Sparks Motors and who knows what else, there's only so much time in the day even for a Wizard.

[@spankybear]

Those M35s are awesome... If you take the power steering off a 5 ton it will bolt on to the deuce... and you have power steering!

[@lpe655]

Staying consistent with video uploads and its quality. Continued growth and success is in ur future.

Love them Dueces! It's cool that they sit for so long and start right up well not all of them but still an awesome truck.

[@jasonpinnix1905]

I want the old yellow Chevy truck

[@johnstark4723]

That crane truck should be worked on and used at the fortress and would save you a lot of hard work.

[@GLUFSAREN]

That buzzer seems a little annoying, might have some sort of use, but bypassing the noise or disconnecting it might be worth looking in to doing.

[@lawrenceayres9377]

I love how he retreats outside, next to the running engine, because it's quieter than being in the cab, with that damn buzzer! 😂

[@pattyyoung3570]

Alan make a small tank of diesel with a rubber hose to the injector pump just to fire up each truck gravity feed .

[@funone8716]

There is an amazing amount of iron and money sitting there. I wonder what the $$$$ total is? There are other curious questions, like where did Alan work before he worked for Sparks? Where did all the funds come from to acquire all this equipment? Not being nosy, everybody watching is curious about this.
