It seriously warms my heart to see these old machines that have waited for so long to finally get shown some love. I can imagine them sitting there, watching every sunrise and wondering " Maybe today's the day someone will come to our rescue. "

You have some helluva good mechanics brother, great to see them old machines running

The crew is such a well oiled machine. You guys all know what needs to be done, everyone knows their roll and the knowledge everyone has is super impressive. Its one thing to be a good mechanic inside a shop, but being a good mechanic out in the field is always so impressive. You guys are great at problem solving and communicating. Dope machines you guys got.

NEVER LEAVE AN IRON SOLDIER BEHIND, DAVE! Really nice to see this stuff not rusting back into the earth. This is almost like an archeological find. The history of mining. Fantastic video guys.

There’s just something to say how satisfying it is to hear a “dead” motor crank over and run. Exhilarating content IMO.

Is it just me, or is it fun watching Alan work on his Christmas presents! The video of watching all of these guys try and get it up his mountain will be amazing! :P

Smokey the bear would have a heart attack if he saw the black smoke of the kobelco.

wait... what?? You took a heavy starter off a running engine?? You're crazy, and I love it ;)

Love watching you guys get this stuff running and love the old spaghetti western music in the background !!! Thanks so much for sharing - can’t wait for the next video !!!

I don't know why, but watching you guys bring the old heavy equipment back to life is entertaining and satisfying. I learn so much about recovering old stuff. It's nothing I need to know, but I like learning new stuff.

I just subscibed to your channel yesterday and i cant stop watching. How you started your business from nothing to where you are now is amazing. what you all do is so interesting. Please keep the content coming. I get the feeling you are a veteran by the flag you proudly display. If so thank you for your service. God bless you all and your families.

As painful as that was to watch; nail biting stuff. I'm giving you all a 11/10 for effort & enthusiasm. The big YEAHS from Diesel Dave had me chuckling & rooting for those monsters to run....Thanks Dave, Dave & amazing crew ;-)

I love watching you guys try to start stuff for the first time in years. would love to watch you guys travel around the country trying to start old engines and machines that have been left for dead.

The amount of stones inside Alan would stop a mortal man :( Breaks my heart. Great guy !!

I can't usually watch longer form content without getting bored and switching videos, but heavy D's content always make me want to watch the whole video and more. Thanks for the sweet videos man!

I've been a gearhead my entire life.....but never really into heavy machinery, until now.......these videos are absolutely mesmerizing. Great work Dave and Crew!

Love the series!! Watching from San Diego California. Was talking to my chief about the series now he is hooked.

GREAT work, Dave !

This is super interesting to watch! It`s gratifying seeing the machines come back to life and not die up on a mountain. Amazing work you and the crew are doing on this 1!

Love your content!! Can't wait for part 3!! My son loves working on heavy equipment!! So much so he started his own business!! He has a mobile heavy equipment service and he's doing good...he is busy!!

Hunter and Alan not only look alike but work the same. Both kick ass and do mind getting there hands dirty.

Bud is indeed my spirit animal. I love that man.

While in the Army, I was a UH-1H Huey Helicopter crewchief/mechanic/door gunner. We transitioned to UH-60A models. It is a fantastic bird. When I found your channel and your purchase of a UH-60 along with all your other videos, It hooked me. Your channel is a daily watch for me and can't get enough. At first I just thought your channel was a Rotorhead only channel. But not the case obviously. Love it!!!!

You are all a great working TEAM...To get these old machines running ..and know what your doing..is AWESOME... Can't wait to see the next episode!!!

Man thats so cool! Never gets old watching those old machines start back up. Looking forward to part 3! =)

Always a little wonder that you guys get those old engines running again! Great work, cant wait for part 3🫶🏻

It’s amazing to watch u guys working together putting all your knowledge together and being able to start anything no matter how long it’s sat out in nature unused

HeavyD always has the best content!🔥keep it up💯👍

Great work Guys! I really love seeing You save theses Great Machines brought back to life. Hopefully you will be able to restore them and use them for all the good work that you guys do. Thanks for sharing and stay safe and healthy.👍

IT REALLY WARMS MY HEART TO SEE THOSE OLD MACHINES COME BACK TO LIFE.😋

AWESOME VIDEO! I cannot get enough of this series and these episodes need to be longer! Thank you for taking us along and sharing the adventure.

Love you guy's and what you do and stand for!! God bless ❤🤍💙

Great Video, Love the comradery and the laughs. Would definitely like to meet the crew someday

You guys are killin' it! So sweet you got some of those oldies up and running again, congrats!

Y'all make the best team. And to think about how Florida man and the Wizard came into your lives is a huge blessing. Keep up the great work, y'all are heroes! 👍

I love how each of you come together with your own expertise to get machines running ❤️

The quality of these videos are amazing! Keep it up

Diesel Dave. One of a kind. His victory yell was originally one of the things that had me subscribing to the Diesel Brothers videos and tuning into the original tv program. A fan forever of his, HeavyD, and all of the crew. Great job everyone!

There's no end to what you guys can do. I want to be part of that.

Thank you for all your teams hard work and sharing these experiences with us! It’s so cool to see this stuff (everything you do) nobody else on the internet does what you share with us. Thank you so much Dave! And crew! From Minnesota!

great job guys! Hunter & Allan should develop a 'marking' (like fighters aircrafts), for each engine they managed to re-start (maybe an engine icon, or a piston...).Keep up the good work!

I am liking it sir, crew did a great job getting things started and running, thanks for the update sir.

Great video, cool watching the old machines come to life.

I love "Farmer fixing" and you guys do a fantastic job of breaking it down 👏

Love watching yall get some of theses big boy running again. Love what yall doing, keep up the great work!!!

Love watching you all to get a machine to home base. God keep you all safe.

Absolutely love these old heavy equipment videos. Makes my day watching these!!! Thank you for what you guys do !!!

Loving this recovery series!! Thanks Heavy D and crew!!

Love that you guys are out there saving history. If that equipment could talk imagine the story’s. Would of been a cool one to come out with you guys👍🏻

its like "bar rescue" only outside, and youre saving nature

Subscribed a couple of days ago binge watching your vids awesome bunch of guys with great hearts 👍❤️👌

I just love this so much!! I learned to operate a D6 when i was about 25-26! It was always exciting to get something started that didn't really want to. I live in the mountains of NW CO with pretty severe winters. I was a young woman working in a mans world in the mid 70's. Loved every minute and each piece of equipment i got to operate was more exciting than the last! I'm retired now but still get excited when you get these giant babies running!

Love seeing old and abandoned machines brought back to life. Even if they may not work out in the long run, still something about starting up an old thing and getting it running again for one last hurrah.

What an awesome team u have. Great mechanics.

The recording is great but what the editors do with it is magic. The sound effects, music, view cuts are awesome. Seem to always laugh in these videos. Thank you the entire crew for another great entertaining video!

Thanks guys.! I struggle with escaping all the terrible crap in the world these days and you guys ALWAYS help me unwind and relax. Love the stuff guys please keep it comin.!! Be good and have fun.!!

Thanks for taking us along. Am loving this big iron series.

So awesome getting these old machines up n going after so many years

I enjoy watching Alan work. I grew up in northwest Montana with ranchers and loggers; he reminds me of those men: get what needs to be done with what you have on hand: just make it happen. Diesel Dave personifies the ethic I learned from them too. These guys, Hunter and the rest of the team make a dynamic crew…about the only men who can keep up with Heavy D and his drive. “Heavy” D: Driven Dave the Dreamer and Dynamic-Leader (I couldn’t come up with an appropriate D word for a strong leader without negative connotation like Dominion or such, because from what I see and people who I know who know him, he is not that way. A fellow Utah resident, we cross paths occasionally. My favorite story is my daughter was working in a Maverick gas station and the Sparks crew stopped for fuel; coming from a big recovery job, a couple guys tracked dirt in the store and Dave got a broom and cleaned it up. ❤

keep up the good work mate

You guys are AMAZING!!! I loved the sound effects of the paper plate sliding off the track and getting squashed!! 😝😏🫶🏻👌🏻👍🏻😎🤩

Great video. Thanks. I agree that the old dozer working well is a real Godsend. The engine sounded so good, after it cleared up. It will probably save a lot of extra trips for other equipment and stuff.

Allan is totally wizard! Lol

Great diesel mechanics they are!

Love how, smart you guys are . Fixing these beast isn’t easy .

Absolutely amazing the knowledge all you guy’s have on the old and new equipment. Love watching these videos. Very entertaining:). I’m 59 and love all the videos:) keep up the good work guys!:) 👍😁

It’s always good when an old Diesel engine crank’s and runs.

I’d love to know what he does with all these. Does he fix them, clean them up, and sell them at action or what. I’ve seen several videos of him recovering big Iron but nothing on what he does after. Maybe a video run down of what happens afterward.

I could watch these videos all day. You guys got so serious skill with these old machines.

This is good. Watched the first episode yesterday, just found this one… enjoyed see “Hans-Down” choosing his personality for the day…lol. (“Hans-Up” on a positive day!) Really good to see the camaraderie of all you guys. Each one of you has a completely unique personality. That’s what makes this channel work so well. Keep it up. Rob, Tasmania, Australia

Run the Starlink on solar. It only draws 45 watts.

Could that star link also run off solar? Still can't help being amazed by how talented you and your crew are about overcoming all the obstacles encountered and succeed! !

You bloke have achieved new PB! Great video. Editing, sound effects and music are great. Camera work is excellent (bit shaky on the handheld in the morning but, plainly, the coffee had yet to do its job ;). Loving this.

Great job getting the old equipment running its always cool to see the old iron move again for the first time in 25 years thats a win!!!!

Notification squad!!

I love you guys keep doing awesome work

Im not sure anyone else notices but I absolutely love the sound effects that are added to the little things for instance the squishing of the paper plate by excavator tracks LMAO. The little details in your vids are what adds that little extra to your content! Keep up the great work fellas!

how can i start working fore you guys this is awesome love it

Damn that machine was smokey

Amazing how you guys got this thing running. Strong work fellas.

Mesmerizing. Truly. I'm addicted guys. You are producing incredible the most interesting and informative content on RU-vid. Thanks much.

First

"First" comments being the 5th or 20th is always funny to me.

Great job Dave and Crew!!! As someone already used the phrase “ your Team is an well oiled machine! “Great Team e we irk getting them old machines running again! 🤙😎

Guys. Our son is OBSESSED with this kind of thing. He’s 4. You’re our new favorite obsession!! We are subscribed to your channel now & found you on FB so we don’t miss out. Keep up this awesome work!!! 😁🚧

Spoiler Alert: EVERY “will it start?” … Starts!! 🤷🏻‍♂️

You and your crew never cease to amaze me with your talents

Hi guys, you never seize to amaize me, at my 71 years of age, been there done that, now I sit down, tune the videos enjoy your outstanding and impressive videos, remains me when I was young, blessings to you guys, please be safe, keep up the good work, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.

Rescues and recoveries are my absolute favorite videos!

Seriously the sound effects crack me up. One of my favorite things about the vids. Like when Heavy D works the levers or when the plate rolls off the tracks and squashes. That cracks me up for some reason.

Wizard at work! I have faith you guys will get things working well enough to get them down. Things were once built to last and that's helpful! I'll be waiting for the next video!

I'm always amazed watching y'all get these big machines running. I keep telling my son that diesel mechanics are the way to go.

Love Alan. Practical guy. Everything is matter-of-fact for him!

You guys are incredible... like Jurassic Park, you bring back hulking dinosaurs to life ! Love It. Great scenery and banter

Alan is such a good dude! Happy is part of the crew!

Awesome video,,, the guy with the off white hat I think is one hell of a mechanic, he knew all the ins and out of that engine, amazing......dont lose him he is great.....

We all Love seeing Alan in his element!! God bless you guys

Man I love this series. I'm so excited to see this continue!

Really like this video. Pretty amazing that most of the equipment was pretty much intact where you and your team got most of it running now. Hopefully it will be a safe run down the mountain with all that equipment. I know your team and you will think things out and weigh the best options to get all of it down the hill. Great entertainment from a great crew of workers.
