M35A2 on "Diesel Creek" YouTube

[cattlerepairman]

Matt is a decent guy and also a decent mechanic/heavy equipment operator. He repairs and revives old trucks and equipment for his YouTube channel "Diesel Creek". He just bought an M35A2 and, contrary to other vidiots out there, does not drive the snot out of it, jumping it over tree stumps.
Actually a decent video on getting it to start (him figuring out why the darn oil dipstick won't come out is hilarious).

I like the guy's videos. He gets old equipment working and saves it from the scrap. I thought he did well on the M35. Just wish he had more information on the truck first.

I was trying to tell him "through the TV " that there are 3 fuel filters and that he should've changed them first!

I replied with some pointers. I doubt it'll be read though.

He has replied to me in the past. I think his channel is small enough that he still reads comments. It looks he doesnt have a crew yet like some of the other celebrity utoobers. I like what Matt does and how he comes across in his videos, seems like a genuinely good guy that would fit in with this crowd.

He's read and replied to me before too. I think jumping in early makes a difference. as time goes on the comments stack up into a big pile, and theres always the next thing to do to take up your time...

I was definitely trying to beam thoughts through the screen too. A few minutes on this forum (or even watching other yousetoob videos) would have made that a bit easier on him.

I had never heard of this channel before, but I'll definitely check it out more. Thanks for sharing!

Very cool. But think I would have serviced the radiator before running.

Also liked the one where he bought/bartered for a 977 CAT that sat for 12 years.

I watch Matt's channel and he comes across as a genuine guy with passion for old iron of all sorts. I know he acquired a HMMWV for fun around the form and now that he obtained a deuce I'm thinking of reaching out to him for support. He has a M172 trailer for his dozer and autocar tractor too. It's interesting to see what he does and how research, thinking, and a willingness to follow a task through produces results without being a 20 year professional at a craft.

I have a Kenworth single axle cabover and would love a M172 to go with it!
