    I have always preferred to just scrap everything because it's just so much easier to sell. People never do what they say and most want something for nothing anyway.
    I save a few things to sell as they are but I just hate dealing with people and all their drama. Just crush it.

    Just a few days ago you were dressed like a character from Nanook of the North, but now you’re in short sleeves working up a sweat!
    PS1- Liked the use of rack to balance the car bundles as you maneuvered them into the trailer for shipping.

    Great find! Those Servi-Cylcles are rare, NO doubt you'll find a buyer eventually. I had one in almost same condition. It did take a while to sell, but that was 30 years ago, pre-net era. Small but dedicated following for them. If I can find the guys number, I'll refer him to you!

That Simplex bike is a great restoration for someone. Even like it is. This one was a good video. Variety makes for a video. Thanks.

Like you said you can't keep them all! Glad someone got that old tractor, looked like it was in pretty good condition! Take care.

    Though many parts are missing, the Simplex is a good start for a restoration. Back in the 1990's I had one of the same design but complete and unrestored. Under civilian paint, I discovered US Air Force markings. I wonder if the seller has more parts such as the engine and fenders somewhere.

    SBF C-4 bellhousings are hard to find. They are bring about $200 on eBay with $54. for shipping. The casting numbers to be on the look out for is C5ZP as the first four. (The C is decade C=60's D=70's. The 5 is the Year. The Z = Mustang, E= Truck. and the P= Transmission) I am a Mustang buff. So the Ford Casting numbers I know by heart.

    Hi Silas, I noticed when your crushing vehicles that alot of them still have tires on. When I haul scrap to the yard, usually old farm equipment I always have to take the tires back home. I'm in Minnesota and maybe they have different rules up here? Very interesting content. I especially enjoy your farm cleanups.

    @EfficientRVer 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    5:00 I would have grabbed the cymbal out of there and checked the brand. They're generally made of various bronze alloys between 80-92% copper, the rest tin, some brands adding more than a token amount of silver or even gold. If not damaged, some brands/models are expensive and prized. In any case, surprised to see you not notice bronze in a car.

    That weird stuff that people have I have it too I think. Adhd... truthfully I like the whole video, great entro and altro ... all of it. Its the part of me screaming at the screen, No 'Silas I yell in my head, even though the millions made and the ten more at the next farm only a few miles down the road. You own the stuff and I might just a done the same, had our rolls switched places. Even the weather reports are cool, I like knowing about other peoples whereabouts. Its twelve degrees here, lots of ice from our last four to more inch dusting just a few days ago. People here go to our hot springs and really soak the healing water in. I really do not understand this one thing. I have worked with old stuff most of my life and you say the reason that you don't trust a camera thats going on two years old???? You see anything within five years is uptown good to go cause I just never see it for real. I never seen a tv till I was about thirteen and it was not at a home but a bar ... Just want you to know I hold no grief with you. If you have to buy a new camera every few months, then I think I would just do podcasts and throw a picture or two up like they did in the army training videos .... Just wonder what old is to you, mind you no offence as I sure ain't meaning it that way. I would be a arkalogical person though/LOL. Have a great day Buddy!

    👍👌👏 Great finds! Congrats! Maybe you can sell the gorgeous Simplex bike to the famous utuber Mustie1. He loves and builds old style bikes. I'm pretty sure, that he has an engine that fits. Unfortunately I don't have his email address, but I'm sure, that you can find it. Thanks in advance for trying.

    In a previous video you mentioned that some people compared you to American pickers. There are similarities but not the same. However, with what your into with your business and what there into as far as old antiques and all that ,I think it would not be a bad idea to reach out to them and see if guys can do some business together and yes I know your busy but it's a thought.
