Nothing like having buddies that will help make it happen! You are one lucky guy, Alan!

I drove a duece and a half in the Army in 1971, and I’m here to tell you that bad boy could handle some terrain and climb some serious mountains!! It was a blast to drive!!👍👍👍

Good to see Jim and Cole joining you on your own recovery mission!

Whoever said, “another lawn ornament” I died out laughing. We know you have a purpose for all your machines 😂

If I owned an entire mountain, I would probably have more vehicles than the Wizard! 😊 That army truck rocks.

It surprised me! Damned capable and for such an old girl, she fired up immediately, as quick as any diesel I've ever used. It makes me wonder why Al made that old light truck fight it's way up there loaded to the brim. I guess it's down to picking the gear up with the light one then transferring everything over just isn't worth the trouble most times but, man that old girl rocks alright.

Your Wizzardness you are Awesome! that was fun thanks for taking us!

Good on Heavy D for lending you that truck..

Is it time for Allen to get his Class A CDL ???? GREAT to see Cole and Jim. Future adventures with this team. ??????

It's crazy how happy Allen is to receive something that is either free or cheap, but I'll admit I'm the same , it's great come on people keep giving Allen stuff ,

The views you have at your fortress never get old, absolutely breathtaking.

The deuce and a half was the first vehicle I got my license for when I was in the army. Love those trucks, loyal old rigs

Love the video Alan! Thanks for inviting Jim and I

This is awesome and shows how great heavy d is, loaning you his equipment and also given an opportunity to the other guys on their project ‼️

Well look at that ~~~ you keep your karma clean and your soul pure and shit just works out well for you !! Keep it going on Alan !!

More that awesome to see all the channels executives working together!

Hi it's so nice to see Jim back love him 💕

camara person did great work .good stuff

thank you sir and it was nice to see less I like him as well. this was a fun video the duce and a half is a beast

Those chainsaws are awesome!!!

This is such a fun and cool episode. Realy like an awesome days out with the boys doing boy stuff. Bringing the guys along upped the energy and the production quality too. This felt very much as a mashup between a mntnfortress and heavy D episode, very cool! I mean, totally wizzard!!

Wizard, thanks for sharing your experiences !

You are as mad as a bag of Hammers I love your attitude Rock on Allan

That deuce and a half is awesome

totally love the kid in a candy shop vibe, from the pick up to running around and looking at the saws and snow mobiles

I love how you guys help a lot of people ….hamburgers looked really good to I would definitely stop if ever in the area

Love the videos Alan! Keep em coming. 👍

🙋🏼‍♂️great video Allen ! You’re the B M O J , didn’t doubt this job for 1 second Boss 🤠

Good frozen morning Mr wizard

Great job Allen. One of your better videos.

I'm a little surprised you don't have a license to drive a semi like that with all your obvious knowledge and experience operating other heavy equipment Al. I love that trailer more every time I see it being used like that, with no need of a separate loading ramp, already to go supports for side extensions etc. Man I could have done with a trailer like that, especially one time picking up a big header that had to be brought back 400 miles away. It ran and I could drive it but, had to use a loading ramp and the hydraulic pump that powered the completely hydraulic steering, the picking up and down of the front and the discharge shute so that was interesting. That trailer I needed and used 18 inches each side extensions but, nowhere near as well setup as that one. Glad you've got a big heap of spares for your loader now. I don't know when the last time you used that old truck you pulled it off with but geez that thing started incredibly easily! She looks a very handy bit of good old gear👍.

@@effoffutube I have no idea since I live in Australia but, my 1 license covers cars, rigid trucks of any size motorcycles and semi trailers. I'm pretty sure if I bothered to go through the rigmarole of getting tested for a power boat license for boats more than 9 hp, that would go on that license too. I did till I let it lapse have a dangerous goods license which was separate, as was my overhead crane, front end loader and forklift licenses were all separate from all the others for some reason though. PS: I forgot to add, all those license classifications are the one price too, no extra cost whereas the dangerous goods one you have to do a refresher course every 2 years I think it was and that does cost a fair bit so, I didn't look like really needing it so let that one lapse.

To drive a truck and trailer over 26,001, generally, lbs you have to get a class A commercial drivers license [CDL] with an endorsement for air brakes. Its a written test, Temp learners permit, an entry level drivers training class, on the road training driving the truck, then a final road test including a pre-trip inspection with the license examiner. Not hard, but time consuming. One fee for the test and license, then after you pay for the license renewal when it expires, usually every 5-8 years.

@@dwebs262 Fairly close to the same here. It may have changed in a few ways since I got mine about 20 years ago but here it's car and rigid single axle front and rear up to a certain weight, I think around 3 tons they used to call "class A". Next was class B which allowed for any rigid up to whatever it's legal to carry. Class C WAS your articulated semi license but for some reason they changed the nice simple designation to "HC" and if you have a bike license it'll say something like "R" below that. I've had my bike license for over 50 years and it's different now but, it was a written test followed by an examiner go outside with you, tell you to go down the road a couple of miles, turn here, there then this way back to the motor registry and if you got back alive, here's your license lol. All the levels of driving involved a driving test with an examiner though, as well as a written test. Driving a B double or road train was and I think still is just a matter of proving you have a job to drive one and going to the registry and they simply endorse it, which seems pretty pointless to me but . . .

@@lorditsprobingtime6668 I lucked out when I got my CDL, you went to the state motor vehicle place and they did your test, inspection, road test, but the state started to allow you pay a private company to do the test, the company I worked for insisted I go to the state place, and the examiner was upset that my company scheduled it there, so I kept saying how I didn’t want to do it there either, and my company was the problem..I had the quickest and easiest test ever, he wasn’t paying attention, to me at all, just looked out the window never said a thing…got back in record time and passed it with no mistakes. 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Great video. Always look forward to your videos. Keep them coming.

Cool movie Allen that deuce sounds awesome

Alan...that was a good buy I hope we get to see some future uploads here soon with that big beast.

I learned to drive in one of those deuce and a half’s. Great video!

My card does that too. Maxes out at the pump way before I'm done fueling. Then I get 10 emails n phone calls telling me that I'm buying gas.. Ya no shit Mr banker have you seen fuel prices? Lol

Great Job Everyone

Your 955L will be great for road maintenance, and all kinds of stuff on the mountain! It looks like you need to build a shop down at the base of the mountain so you have a place big enough to work on the 955L and everything else!

Happy Christmas Allan. Thumbs up.

These guys are awesome! That was a fun day!

Nice job Allen I like your duce and a half.Take care.

Good to see a good day. 😊

Nicely done Alan

Take care be safe 🙏

Excellent, looking forward to the next one 🎉🎉

Nice find👍😎

It's been awhile. Thanks for the new content. Love it...

Alan at least you have plenty of room to park more stuff. The team were great group of guys to get the job done. I have a debit card that I use and I useta be able to make $3,000 purchases. Now the bank has changed its policies and it is $750 and can only get $200 cash. It's to protect against fraud they say. Enjoyed watching this episode. See ya next time.

Great job Allen, you have a lot a fun I can see when you are doing these videos and the guys at sparks motors have a lot a fun working with you. Give a big shout out to Dave for all he does to help you out. I know you appreciate him for everything he’s done for you. Keep on doing you and I’m looking forward to your next one.

That Husky was a beast..

Great job Allen

TX 340 great machine

great job

Great job guys. Thank you 😊

Great job Allen!!

Smooth mission Alan and Co! Smash n grab pickup at its finest 🤩👌 loved the truck you chose to unload the dozer, that thing is awesome and sounds like a straight 6 turbo diesel beast! I have to modify the exhaust on the chainsaw after seeing this video 🤣💪💪 have a wizardry weekend Al! Best wishes!

999 viewers when I end the vid.... Great vid, great projects you got there. Nice military truck to drive up and down the mountain. It would take a pretty big load to, more than a little pickup or ATV.

That was such a smooth transition, cant believe how well it all went. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Have a great day.

Hell yeah 😎

A smooth operation that’s for sure. Love the deuce and a half! Great truck Alan.

Happy Christmas to mate I'm off working over Christmas so won't get chance to tell you. Respect to you big time love your life ❤️

"Another lawn ornament"

fantastic..guys

Alan the guy with a passion for rescuing equipment, and building a great fortress. Keep it up. A day with your buddy's and D's truck, that's priceless. Merry Christmas waiting to see more from your channel 👍👍

The chin saw would be nice for you

Love that truck so fringing cool

awesome job my friend, I'm from the Yukon territories but been living in Edmonton, Alberta Canada

Allan…the man! Awsome to see you growing your own chanel, and do your own stuff to! Love your humble and vice style! You gonna be huge 😉👉

That is a nice find! Nice Score! you are gonna have a nice machine when you get er done! Love it!

Loved the collab and interesting as always to be included in Wizarding world :) it would be cool to have more content collaboration!

👍

Those are two Dull saws !!!

The 440 mustang js the same as the 340 as well

I bet she fires rite up on old motor oil too.

OK, that recovery went way too easy, might want to think about taking jackknife motors with you everywhere you go. lol now to get yours going, this should be a fun experience. Or a nightmare. Until next video.😀👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good job Al

Great job Alan.

@Alan If i ever get out your way i'd love to just hang-out for the day & hope to see the castle !

Alan the lumber jack wizzard.

Nice that you got some cool friends to help you out !! Great Job !!

Allen wanted to let you know to fix the Deere you have instead of using grease you can use an aftermarket spring accumulator

Very Good Video and Kool Chainsaws

oh thats something that would take a few minutes to get used to - i saw you pick up the green pump gun, eek, in the UK green is unleaded petrol, black is normally for diesel, but i think you have different pumps for petrol i recently switched to a diesel car, the second time i fuelled up, i was on auto pilot, i mistakenly put unleaded petrol in it DOW, went to my mates yard where we were able to pump it out nice and easy, chuck in some diesel and restart with no issue, PHEW not a mistake i have repeated since thankfully another dozey, does this mean your going to widen the road on the mountain? hehe

Allen have you thought about just putting your motor in that one? I don't know anything about big don't know if that even can be done or not

Great 😊

You could put the other engine on to this machine and keep the other one as yard art and parts believe it would take less time

Why would you do that? The 955L already runs and just needs the track tensioner's! I don't think you understand how much effort it is to pull an engine on a large piece of equipment like that. The 955L has a cab on it, and is actually in pretty good shape for it's age!

one of your best videos imo !!

Love the sled collection. Any Skidoo Skandic sleds?

I've wondered if those army trucks ran for a long time..I don't miss replacing the batteries either.

🤠

I been to Delta Utah to head to the desert sand dunes

Ya should put a mountain coaster down from the fortress.

I live outside of delta in Deseret you should try Ashton pastrami burger it's the bomb

Up here in Maine there's about 10 of those old Polaris sleds in a row not far from my place.not sure why been there for 20 years.

3:51 $3,89⁹ per gallon. Not terrible.

I know it would be a task, But what about swapping the engines in the cats?

It would be much easier to just put the track tensioner's on the one that already runs and has a cab on it, and that's the reason he got that one, for part's for his 955L that he picked up a few months ago!

😃👍👍👍👍🤟

Coolduece and a half. Where's the snow?

It might be easier to swap engine

Just an fyi for the chainsaw bit. Those pipes were bad a**, but the husky was just a Chinese clone, not sure about the Stihl. Also, a YZ80 has way more hp than that saw will ever be able to put out.

Costs over £100 to fill a car in the UK.
