Hey guys , I used to operate one of those. It’s a 20 ton rough terrain crane. I ran it in Germany in 1969. Had a great driving it on the Autobahn. There is a master clutch on the operators right side near the floor that disconnects the crane from the engine so when you start it nothing is engaged. If you have any questions let me know and I’ll try to remember how everything works for ya.
Also look up the manual for it should be able to find a free pdf
Awesome man
King don’t forget you 👑
@Swiftbuzzed :
Do you happen to recall the nomenclature for that crane?
I knew it was old. they have a commercial crane painted green when I was in the engineer companies, I was in Germany in the 1980's. It did not take much to get them stuck.
Hose water is the only flavored water I need.
Boiling hot?
My house water is the first on the line and has a lot of chlorine and other chemicals in it. Actually makes me sick 🥶
Exactly hose water be bussin
Drinkin it since i was shiittin green
@@sisan8397that's a shame and I'm sure you get no discount on the bill. Call and complain about it maybe they'll offer a filter or something.
You guys are great mechanics! You remind me of my dad. There wasn’t anything that he couldn’t work on and get to running. Anytime, anyone who had problems with their equipment. They always called on my dad. I’ve seen my dad, pour sweat on the side of the road for hours. Working on folks vehicles that he had never met before. If he seen someone stranded he always stopped to lend a hand. I lost my dad on Father’s Day 2005. And the most thing that I remember him for is his gratefulness to others. He would do anything for anyone. Wether he knew you or not. And if they tried to pay him for the work he done. He would not except it. And the ones that told him that they didn’t have any money to pay him. Which he didn’t charge any money anyway. He would tell them to charge it. :) …. I will never forget my dad. Gone…. But, never forgotten!
Alan is a great addition to your crew. He’s knowledgeable, calm and fun to be around.
When I was in the Army Reserve (1983 - 1993), the Engineer Battalion (CBT), I was with had one of those parked in the motor pool.
There was only one soldier in the whole battalion (a SFC), who was authorized to do anything other than look (from a distance), at, or photograph it. Both cabs had a retrofit that placed locking mechanisms on the doors, and the windows were all in place.
Memory Lane.
🙂
I was trained on it 62f lifting and loading operator in 1981
@@alphonsotate2982 I was also at ft lost in the woods in the state of misery.. jan 1981-july1991 mos62f
I just love watching Alan work his magic on these old machines!
What magic. There's nothing to it
@@dragbikeJimmyhe doesn't mean it literally
One thing I really liked about this video, was it got right into the main topic/subject, which was working on the crane, without all the extra video footage of prep at shop, travel time lapse, etc. Short and sweet and to the point!!
Only a guy that straps a lot of heavy equipment down and regularly uses ratchet straps can appreciate exactly how cool that was when Dave executed a perfect toss, slap, and grab WITH a correct safety wrap over the flat hook. 👍🏻😎👍🏻 Your reaction Dave was perfect!!! LMAO!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I wish I could. That’s like a 1 time thing haha
No, I think any common sense person (although I realize those are in short supply these days) can understand how unlikely and unexpected that was. I had to play it back about 5 or 6 times to see what it was they were talking about, because it was so unlikely, I didn't even notice the strap when it panned to Dave. I was in disbelief when I finally saw what had happened.
Timestamp?
Edit: I found it. It's at 14:00 if anybody was wondering.
Hydraulic hoses with quick connects for your skid steer or other equipment is worth gold to take up those outriggers without the engine
You can get power packs, small electric hydraulic pump to fill or empty cylinders. Then you don't have to worry about using equipment or getting oil contamination
I smell a new rig for the Mtn. Fortress! I love seeing these old random machines see a second or 10th life.
If he can get it up the hill. I don’t think it would fit.
To install the new wind generators!
Mtn. Fortress Rock Chucka 🐿
I don't know. I got a feeling Brent can put it to use for awhile. Then off to the Fortress.
HeavyD little by little you are developing a whole construction company that Joh Wayne's Fighting Seabees would get along famously with, all over the world. Creating civilization out of chaos!
Genuine, hardworking, amazing person. I wish there were more like you.
Hey, I love what you guys do to help people in need!!
It's amazing to see that good people are in this world.
Total respect guy.❤
Subscribed and watching from New Zealand
2:30 i love how Hans took Allan so literal. Made me laugh.
Don't get rid of this one. Keep and use it. Its awesome. Gotta paint some rocks chucks on it after getting it running.
I knew you guys would get it you got the best group of guys with you. Keep up the amazing work you do; your community must be proud to have you and your team.
There’s a water bottle called cirkul it’s almost the same thing it’s 20$ at Walmart for the starter kit and the flavors are about $4 each. The starter kit comes with 2 flavors and the bottle. You can adjust how much flavor is added and even set it to just plain water.
Always amazed at what projects you guys get into.
@HeavyD, you should hook up with storm chaser PhD Reed Timmer.
He had a modified F350 (named the Dominator) with reinforced sheet metal and plexiglass windows. He still has it, but its falling apart. This would be a perfect project for y'all.
Thank you for saving her. We had those to load dummy cargo on are FS ( sister ship) of US Army Supply ship from WW-2
Mr. Roberts) Film fame. We had Stevidor come from a near by Guard unit to practice with the double boom on the FS. They set these cranes on dock to load pallets of dummy cargo on board. I remember watching the operator always checking his swing break in the crane cab. Good times back in the very late 1970s. The blade on front of crane, they used to smooth out area for crane set up. Very heavy duty truxk cranes.
I love watching you guys play. Anyone else says it’s impossible; you guys show up and it’s time to play in the sand box. Amazing expert skills. !!!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH MR. HEAVY D SPARKS FOR ALL THE SHOW'S. DIESEL DAVE CAN DO ANYTHING. PLEASE KEEP SHOWING MORE OF YOUR GREATEST SHOWS SIR'S.
5:49 Heavy D honestly has the best job ever. You can tell he takes great pride on what he does. He’s got a great crew whole bunch more. I learn so much from watching his videos. Would love to work with him as well.. definitely my dream job. Keep up the great work Heavy D. God bless
Dude has the most interesting and entertaining life in the automotive industry 🔥
Truck and recovery industry....
That would be Jay Leno.
Cletus who
You guys never cease to amaze me. You can move and rescue anything!
DAVE'S CREW ARE GOLD.....PAY EM WELL....WHAT A GREAT '''WE CAN DO IT NO PROBLEM''''
The strap throw was next level
So close but yet so far! . First time in utah driving with my son, driving to SMCO. saw Heavy D driving a sick ass 6x6....as i pull in Diesel Dave walking in! Just to say Hey! Inspired by you guys keep up the good work!
I think all of you have good experience with recovery of big equipment.
Alan is very knowledgeable about old equipment. That's gotta be a plus.
That is a big boy, hope to see more videos of you guys getting it up and running.🤠
That is a giant Tonka toy I’m sure my son had one of those 30 plus years ago, leave it to you to get a big boy size one. Too fun 😀👍❤️❤️
Love watching y'all work and figure out when something doesn't work what to do next.
I’m impressed
I operated a army crane 1972 exactly like the one you picked up..
I made a lot of crane lifts with that crane.
Ft Eustis, Va
497th Engineer Company Brought back some great memories.
I am currently operating a new 300 ton Manitowoc
Can you guys start making videos on how you’re fixing up these big tractors and vehicles that you’re recovering and obtaining for free? I would like to see some of these follow up videos on what the status is on these awesome vehicles, you’ve recovered!
I think they have a second channel about that stuff
The most impressive part of this move was Dave throwing up the headache ball those things aren't light course he had to have Diesel Dave end the vidg probably cause he was in truck with Ice on the boys 😂😂😂
Can't wait to see that big boy running and doing WORK!! Great JOB!!
Midway is such a beautiful place, used to go there as a kid and then snowmobile up in timber lakes. Thanks for the video! Love to watch the startup problem solving and thought that goes into the process.
I want more videos of this getting running.
Dave, with Alan by his side, can figure out anything.
Yep a very old school manual/ mechanical crane unit . Those things will work your butt off when you operate them for long. They were made that way to be easier t9 maintain than the equipment we have now!
You guys never disappoint me. This old man loves your channel
I knew if anyone was going to get that crane moved the HeavyD team was going to be the one to do it.
With the help of Alan on this one old military equipment is right up his alley.
He’s dramatizing things to much lately. Been lot of people got it done and not broken the fuel tank either 🤦🏻♂️
@@nickk5731 Yeah i wonder if Sparks was not there how things would have went. Starting to wonder if Sparks is the weak link in their team.
Would have been no problem for Matt from Diesel Creek. Some of the iron I’ve watched him bring back to life was so far gone.
@@slynn5138 yeah hes bloody awesome. Puts these videos to shame a bit now. He just got his old grader going today. Had gearbox out to fix clutch. ITs how he explains stuff to. He really knows his shit
Would love to see a new video of when you build a fire under it and get her running~!
A very versatile hunk of iron. Could be money in the bank for helping with big projects!
Another successful and awesome recovery. You guys are an amazing team.
My favorite guys on UA-cam thank you so much for the content. Please put out as much of these videos as you can we love them and you guys.
HeavyD never fails to amaze us, great work guys
Why don't all you tube shorts send a link to the full video like these guys?!.. great work fellas haha
I recognize that crane. I worked for a company back in the 90's that thought buying the old army crane was money well spent. LMAO! That is a mid to late 60's American Hoist & Derrick, 20 ton crane. I think it is model 2380 or 3285. I remember it has a V8 265 Cummins on the main power unit and a JN6I 6 cylinder for the crane. It can be quite noisy to operate. It's all mechanical and was very touchy. I was about the only person that would operate it. After I quite working there. The only time is was used, was for crushing 55 gal steel drums with the blade on the front. The master cylinders that operate the levers, were always a problem. If the fluid bypassed the cups, you could drop a load real easy.
Your team is exceptional! Amazing what you guys can accomplish.
I'm excited to see what you guys use this for!
The reason you guys were successful at retrieving it and the other 4 couldn't is because you guys have a professional wizard and they don't. That rig is going to be a great tool if you can get it restored to good working order.
Or the fact they have 200k worth of equipment to pull it out....
You guys deff need to keep it! That will help tremendously in recoveries!!
Much Respect guys from Somerset UK. 🇬🇧🙏
That went way smoother than I expected.
That telehandler is a beast.
Retired DAV here.. my MOS 62f was crane operator.. thought it was pretty cool seeing you buying something that I actually have a ton of experience operating.. can't wait to see more of this crane.. which model is it? is it the 2385?
I love watching your videos, u giving each other a hard time and also love you guys helping out people and doing what you guys do best. Keep up the videos and never give up when it is hard.😊😊😊
i love that look on D's face when he's operating some new shit and his wheels are turnin 100k rpm
Alan could definitely use this on his house. If he can get it up the hill. Big If.
I wonder if the Blackhawk would lift it ?
@yellow beard no way the Blackhawk can carry or lift about 9k that's with the crew and everybody
3:10 i LOVE Midway! One of the most beautiful places out there!
I once replaced all the clutches on an English machine similar to this. It was powered by a Dorman diesel for both traction (crawler) and crane. No new replacement parts were available so I scoured every wrecking yard and assembled a group of clutch plates and appropriate centres, reassembled them with a couple having to have new facings and it worked until the boss got in and tried to operate it and pulled the boom over vertical.
Would be neat to see this in action!
Wondering what your thoughts on WD-40 are. Care to share? I mean, they say there’s 1000 uses for it. Just how many have you tried?
Also, what’s the craziest thing you ever used it for? Mine was getting rid of a yellow jacket nest trying to happen in the outside wall of my basement (cinder blocks) by way of of the water spigot at the front of my house. Little bastahds were immune to everything else and I’m allergic. Out of pure desperation I sprayed half a can into the hole they made and watched for 3 days with no visible activity before sealing it up with insulation foam.Did the trick when all the hardware store recommended failed! Haven’t had a problem there since!
so Wise , Thank you . Another fine machine rescued , Now to put it back onto service
Cant wait for a follow up, the vids alan makes fixing em are definitely also awesome btw
The amount of vehicles you’ve recovered at this point is just insane
Try organizing them 😂 in the yards new arrivals daily lol
Alan is a work horse
You have an awesome team brother, none better- god bless
Takes my back to being a kid playing in the dirt with Tonka trucks
Man operate old friction machine crane work of art , had friend we purchased lot Hardox 400 for draglines, Dozer blades , etc he use load our trucks Bucyrus Erie 30B friction crane made look easy pretty amazing.
Great video thanks Dave Sparks and company
That is a massive machine to move.
8:35 Hahahaha. Who else replayed this part to verify that their smoke detector was not the problem?
I definitely thought "SOB , fkin smoke alarm"
YES! I hope they never use that audio again
Same exact sound. Question is, did it stay IN the rig?
Great recovery, the repair sounds exiting
I just enjoy 😉 watching you guys figure all of this out. Teaching us all the time. 😊 🙏 thank all of you.😅
So what happened to the squirrel? Did he make a new home at the yard?
It's a marmot, aka rock chuck
@@InternetJury Ahh ok..we dont get those here so wasn't sure..looked like a squirrel
I bet you're get that engine going you probably can get $20,000 out of Pat crane I'm just assuming or depends on how much it cost to get the crane going good job diesel Brothers 💪
I've ran a crane like that before too, and would love to come take care of it for you! Worked on them too, adjusting, replacing and fixing clutches. Good Luck, I wish I could run across a deal like that!
Recovery super beast right there. You will be unstoppable
His favorite part is getting shit for free! Me too. Pop's would take a bucket of shit just to get the bucket.
what kinda shit ?
What scavenger worth his salt can't relate to that😂
We all know someone like that, I just didn’t know that he was your pops.
Why not take it right to Allen"s Boneyard where it can RIP with the other tired vehicles.
model 2380 rough terrain crane. With that 10 foot boom extension, capacity is down to 15 tons. Used one in a floating bridge company, army national guard. You are going to love using a lube order to grease this machine !
PLEASE SHOW MORE CONTENT ON THE CRANE. Great job y'all!!
Hook it up to the back of the Ranger and just drag it home 😂😂😂
I like how Alan always states the obvious 😂
Hey, it's not obvious until you say it!
Dave throwing the strap across and hooking it was def the best part
ans an equipment mover myself i aspire to be that skilled
Great video like usual! Awesome work fellas. 👏 MEN! MEN! MEN! 💪
Life goal be more like heavyd and diesel Dave
Holy sh@t Dave very impressive. You threw that headache ball like it was nothing.
I stay hydrated with COORS beer everyday all day. Thanks COORS for being one of my sponsors.
Carnal love the videos the show and All the Help you Have giving the People. God Bless You And Your Crew Always Hermano!
Another good recovery is taken care of and getting ready for the next one
come on "IF" you can move it!! we all know its yours Heavy D!... quit playn.. L0L
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA XD XD XD
Best part of the video by far was when heavy tossed the strap over the boom and it hooked itself 😂 great work as always guys 👌🏽
When I was in army I operated that crane 20 ton RT brings back memories 😊
I've seen that crane dozens of times over the last few months. Fun to see what's happening to it. I'm designing a new custom home that will soon be built on that exact lot.
14:00 lol that was impressive. Great video.
Congrats on 3 MILLION Bro !! You could become a full-time influencer lololol congrats HeavyD you deserve the honor more than most.. your original content gets you your subs and they stay very loyal 💯 % again because of your content !
Nice work. Great team.
great looking crane and usually looking at it,,it probably doesn't have a whole lot of hours on the engine and sometimes fuel in the motor might have been a stuck fuel injector or even a little water from the weather 🤔 maybe??just a thought...but i know you're crew will get it figured out and have it operating soon,,you guys always do great work for your community and surrounding areas..keep making great videos 📹 👍 😀..and you are always concerned about our environment and surrounding...thanks for the video 📹 👍 😀
Yet again you guys amaze all of us with your ability to make things happen.
Hopefully air up makes it to Australia, will give it a try, in the meantime my fav method is carbonated/lightly sparkling soda water squirted with a good amount of concentrated lemon or lime juice - fasting and slow carb/keto approved.
