He yelled “hola niña” when Hans walked up 😂😂😂😂
Will It Start is the greatest series ever. I always rewatch the older ones.
A lot more to come!!!
@@SparksMotorsCo Amazing! I could watch at least 5 each day!
@@SparksMotorsCo Could you please add Alan and Jose to the thumbnail on the Will it start vids so that I know if they will be in the video?
That's a great bit of kit! It would be good to see it pimped out for the yard as a shunter unit. José is hilarious! 😂
The whole place is like watching Abbot and Costilla
Hope y’all are paying Jose well and taking care of him. Allen is a beast human.
Absolutely
Alan is related to Big Foot
Jose and Allen are the best
hes here illegally so they only pay him 35 cents per hour. if he bitches about it they'll call ICE on him and send him back to venezuela. he sleeps on the office chair in the shop.
I drove one of these Tugs for UPS at the SFD airport back in the early 1990s. They'll move a mountain if you can figure out how to hook up to it 😅🤘🏼🇺🇲
Allen just walking around with a lit blow tourch kills me 😂😂
Congrats guys
Getting the tugger going
I ran a warehouse tug like that in the military, it was a gas version slant six dodge and it had no cab. We used it for moving rolling stock like aircraft engines and the like.
12:52 HANS to the Rescue!!!!! 🛟
since it's not too dirty, I am thinking maybe an AMMO factory or munitions factory?
I used to drive that tug at Hercules. It was used to transport explosives across plant, when I used it we were transporting tooling.
Hercules by Pinole? Worked at that plant as a Millwright. So long ago I don't even remember what we were repairing.
@@robertmceuen3630 Hercules at Bacchus, Magna Ut.
@@dennisthompson7707 Many years ago there was a Hercules powder plant in the town of Hercules. North Central Ca. near Oakland.
I think Alan and Jose need to have an adventure series
Keep it so this man can use it to move the black hawk around
Love this series-so Wizard! And La Niña made me laugh. Love ya Hans!
There is a rocket manufacture on the west side of the valley that may have used it to move propellant.
You are right, I was probably one of the last to drive that one before it was taken out of service.
Looked like the ones we used at Thiokol.
I wanna be the tile guy. I have been doing it for 25 years and all new houses. I am going to the freedom factory the beginning of the month.
Looks cool I hope you get it started
Yes that is definitely worth watching. The will it start video with allen 😅
The Wizard digging into the knowledge of yesteryear and applying it today.... rare and hard to find...like someone we all recognize! Lol! 🤯💪👍🤠
Its an old military tug that would pull live ordinance or TNT for mining operations.
Do you have a specific name or model?
@SparksMotorsCo United Tractor SM40-A9 or possibly SM80 is what it looks like you have. The diesel engine swap is because the low combustion point of diesel compared to gasoline or lpg counterparts to reduce the risk of fire or explosion when hauling ordinance or explosives.
@@Mrdieselblooded I think you got it!!! Thank you for sharing
We used tugs for ground equipment in the 80s but ours were gas 225 slant 6 with a 727 automatic. We didn’t need them to be permissible for explosives or munitions.
That was great watching and learning about the history of the Tugger. I wanna tugger and I want it right now.
You guys rock keep up everything man great people you guy's are
Allen is the best. Watch every video he is in.
this was great i really enjoyed this guys,
i love the older rare things like this that seem to just vanish till someone brings them to light on youtube, thanks again guys
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's a tow tractor commonly referred to as a tak 32 (-32). It's used for hauling around support equipment for military aviation. This one looks to be outfitted for munitions or Lox hauling (liquid oxygen). Drove them plenty of times in the service 3cyl diesel engine I believe.
Another great video. That sparkler adds a nice touch..................................Did you see what I did there!
back in the 80's when I worked at the transmission shop we had an airport tug called Egor with a scrapped tire strapped to the front for pushing dead stuff into the shop.
Intrinsically safe is the correct terminology for xplosion proof
One of Al's signiture Hi-vis jackets with Sparks Motors and the Wizard on the back would make a cool giveaway. A new one of course.
Yes we want to see all mechanical fixes!
Interesting equipment. Now you just need to find a buyer!
I think we are keeping this toy. Too useful in the yard.
Got to luv Allen just so fun to watch him get shit runnin 🤠👍👏👏👏
Would this be too heavy to be a Sparks Motors golf cart?
Great content,
We better have some tug-o-war videos with that thing, full send!
I would love to have it i wanna take it to some carshows and use it to pull my trailers around
looks like a fun offroad go kart lol. tractor racing maybe?
I have one of those tuggs put chains on the rear and a plow on the front...pushes snow like a champ!
these guy are going to own ever piece of old broken down heavy equipment In Utah
Used in a mine?
Maybe, my guess it was used to haul ordnance.
It just looks to good to be used in a mine.
That’s a great possibility as well. Honestly it has been very difficult looking for more information on these.
The orange octagon with the 1 on it means 1.1 or mass detonation and as the guys said, it was most likely used to move munitions
That's what I was thinking of, a munitions factory where they make ammunition, bombs and explosives. They usually would be a contracted civilian supplier.
correct answer after you looked it up 😂😂
I had one of those an it was called a toe motor,
Great stuff
Military ammo bunkers, to move ammunition around military bases. Military does have some that aren’t military plated
That engine looks like a nissan SD33 very common here in Australia in the early nissan Patrol 4x4's
Hey guys lets do this 🥤😎
Hmmm...I wonder if that's the same nissan motor that IHC used in their Scouts, in the last year of production?
They have a diesel in it because there's not ignition system so no sparks no boom.
And you can also find those engines in International Scouts btw
thats the cutest mini tractor :D
I watch for the wizard!!
Shout out to my fellow Mexican Jose 🇲🇽🔥
We use those to pull trailers with torpedoes on them
Sweet
I Appreciate the video
I would love to see an equipment tour
Maybe from some type of refinery
I feel like the use that to load planes or military uses
Is this live or is it prerecorded?
maybe
They call hans girl in Spanish 😂😂😂
Bring back the Muscle!
It's interesting that all of the switches and the starter are explosion proof but none of the conduit or boxes, especially that main box on the outside, have explosion proof fittings and there's no EYS fittings anywhere.
Allen should take it up to the Bunker..
My brother had an International Scout with that same engine. He used to smoke out the neighborhood every time he did a cold start. It was a shame when it got overheated really bad and trashed the engine.
Nice aircraft tug is Mr. Sparks going to use it at his aircraft hanger ?
Fix it up and paint it in a Heavy D Spark-color and use it around the workshop.
BABY FACE almost burned it up NOT listening to how He was told to hook up the fuse link.
Luckily we caught it!
If Alan is there, it will start
The wizard knows all lol.
It is basically a trailer shunt.
In Canada they call those things jitneys, no idea why......
The phrase you are looking for is " intrinsically safe" . Have known the phrase for years as I used to such equipment in a fuel depot.
110% wizard on this one!
Nobody beats the Wiz!
Leave it to the wizard to realize it's a mining/ ordinance vehicle.
"I can hold the light for ya. Just don't yell at me, dad!" 😂😂😁😁🤘🤘
Looks like the same as a Nissan SD33 diesel used in scout II and scout travelers in the late 70s. I’ve got one on a pallet in my driveway.
Good morning sir❤..
These are called Airport tugs or a tow tug or tractor they are used in airports all over the world and range from $17,000-$60,000 And can go right about 20 to 25 miles an hour. and usually have a T4i diesel
By the position of the injection pump, the blue color of the valve cover and is distinctive sound it could be an nissan SD series engine.
You are correct.
That little thing is kinda neat
Hey what’s up bros how y’all doing much love
engine looks like from nissan patrol iii 3.3 D
Golden
make sure to reinforce the radiator and avoid basements *wink* *wink*
If Allen can't fix it nobody can! Dude just has the gift for working through things!
Jose did
Allen goes by the book Jose does what Mexicans do a Mexicanada!!🫡🇲🇽 ayayai!!!
Crazy what odd equipment is out there.
❤ how hans comes in. i mean he is the pro as this bit he does heehhe. ❤❤❤❤❤
Very nice video
i like seeing new starts
AIRPORT TUG.
That’s the closest thing we could find but it is rebuilt to haul explosives.
What is it😵💫 Jose a tow tractor Allen after looking it up it’s a tow tractor 😂😂😂 JOSE=🐐
ALLEN=📖🐛
All you need is a wizard, and a Mexican.
Those two could get anything running.
Convert it to 4x4 and take it offroading or make it a drag vehicle
In he late 70s into the mid 80s, before Dodge started using Cummins Diesel engines Dodge used a Nissan diesel in their 3/4 ton and 1 ton pick ups.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾✌
was thinking it might be a Nissan Industrial Diesel engine. If it is 6cyl (looks to be) the crankshaft itself is a highly desired by Datsun/Nissan guys who drool on Z cars. If I understand it right that crank can be swapped into Z's to increase compression. (longer stroke). BUTT.. other side of coin is..... that is why this 6cyl Diesel is hard to find one running.... so that diesel engine is entering the "collectable" zone.
what do i have to do to get a job with you guys
Jobs@sellerz.com send in an application of what your skills are. Big hint: don’t say you have been turning wrenches your entire life 😉
now make it do a wheelie
Looks like a weapons tug from an air force base
Ron's just s mouth we don't need to here!
