2-3 videos per week is perfect. Thank you for pushing and bringing us awesome content.👍
Man this is a perfect channel to just let play in the background while I'm working on things. You got the perfect amount of time between showing things and crushing things to allow me to still watch and get things done love this channel.
Thanks for the Radiation lesson! Oil fields were my playground in Signal Hill, Calif.
Always something awesome coming into your yards.
Loved seeing that old 64 mercury wagon. Its worth saving and has lots of good parts. I would love to have it. Like your videos.
❤❤❤❤ love old wagons
Cut it at the front doors and turn it into a camping trailer ,gut it out plenty of room to lay down and sleep,would look cool
Always enjoy watching your videos, Thanks for making these available.
You do a great job keeping the yard organized!
I love your channel and I might just be a stranger, but I shed a fucking tear for that BLUE FORD RANGER!!!
I cant get over how little rust are on the cars/trucks down there.
Your wagon is a 64. Pretty desirable. Lots of ebay stuff there. Tailgates are hard to come by. The air dash is worth a buck too. You may not have local buyers for it but I'm guessing you'll get some action on ebay for it. Even with shipping costs. Bumpers, trim, and dash are one year only. Tailgate might work on a 63 but idk. Thanks for sharing
I've crushed over a million ton of cars truck junk since 1996. I was kick off Facebook because my competitors told Facebook I had a fake profile. I am famous for all the scrap I have sold over the years. No body can take that away from me.god has blessed me with two wonderful businesses pates scrap metal and recycling, Tommy pates lawn service. . This man right here is doing some wonderful work right here on TH-cam. Keep on crushing
I'd hold on to that station wagon good parts car
My friend I love your channel. always something awesome coming into your yards. Theres just something satisfying watching you crush cars and load em up to sell. Stay blessed brother!!!
Thanks for the video. Hope the family is doing well.
I have crushed cars til 12am in the morning. We crushed that late because the scrap yard told us the price of cars & trucks was going down soon.so we wanted to get all the cars& trucks crushed before the prices fell.
Thanks Silas, always something interesting going on!
Those 64 mercury wagons make for good derby cars
Mercury always had cool Extras! It's definitely saveable !!
Yikes, maybe if you have a donor car and some deep pockets
Like the wagon!
Keep an sell the glass and keys
Great video!
Great video love the crushing and incoming cars clean up great video as always keep them coming really enjoy them and enjoy the time you give in your day to make them thank you
Thanks for working so hard to show us your life. Days are winding down, fall will be here soon
I am a Nuclear Engineer. It is so smart of you to check for anything radioactive.
Amazing watching your vids, thank you.
Afternoon Silas!! Thanks for sharing your car crushing videos!! Be safe!!
God Bless!!!
Always a pleasure watching 👍

Great video silas, keep'um coming.
UK crew checking in ..good video buddy :)
golf mate ????? Manchester
Great video as always Silas. Thanks
I can't remember who sang it but there was a country song about a little red rodeo. You really squashed that thing
Another good one.
enjoying your program mate thanks
Hi Silas, That Mercury is a genuine mid-century kid hauler. I was born in 1954, yep, a genuine baby-boomer when the "population explosion" made a direct hit on the USA. My Mom and Dad bought a new Chevrolet Station Wagon in 1958, and later my Mom was a Cub Scout den mother. When it was time to take the boys somewhere, she would fold down the back seat and there was plenty of room for the 12 boys. They didn't have seat belt laws back then, however my Dad had 6 sets of seat belts in the wagon, and if the back seat was up, we wore seat belts. BTW: I heard about some cast iron table bases from Mexico that were very radioactive. Someone had thrown a lot of radioactive waste in a vehicle and it went to the steel mill and contaminated a lot of product.
Hey there, do you think you could crush a car on its side as an experiment? Great video!
I did yesterday! Stay tuned later next week for the video!
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch Hell yeah! Would love to see a honda fit or any of the other toaster cars crushed standing up. I would be doing all kinds of crazy stuff if I had a crusher.
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch I wonder if theres a small enough car to crush vertical. Like with its front bumper up in the air and the bottom bumper on the ground
@@LarryFish3rman I’ve done it before. Next time I get a car small enough I’ll do it again
Smart car, fiat 500, mini cooper.
Good luck on the smart car, has one of the strongest passenger safety zones of any car on the market.
Wow! Very interesting about the radiation. Looks like you got a lot done! Hopefully you got your internet sorted out. Thanks for another great VLOG!
We had a mercury wagon just like that when I was a kid be safe and thanks for a notber great video
wow that was cool seeing that old rake get crushed thanks for the video
Pretty cool key chains. I collect them i have tons! Anywhere I go out of town I buy a key chain
You are an industrious young man
Thanks for another cool video. Stay safe out there.👍😎🇺🇲
Great video Silas
Keep the keys and ignition switch from the mercury wagon ! Cool to have !
Hey Silas, those cartridges are actually 12.7 x 99mm NATO, or .50 caliber BMG. They are perfectly legal to own, live or inert. They are no different than rifle ammo. In that condition, a short belt like that is worth $10 to $25, depending on where you sell them. EBay will get you the most money for them.
12:00 That company needs to invest in a wheeled lawn magnet; the kind that most roofers use.
Lots of interesting stuff on this video.
Where do you usually sell your good parts? I'm a mid-west boy my self and I'm grateful to see that you keep your eyes open for good stuff coming to you. God bless ol boy
Great video. Looks like that 928 Porsche is going to bite the dust.
Some scrapyards that don't have a magnet are famous for people getting nails& screws in their tires
Glass plastic aluminum...all in all its gonna be shredded , sifted and sorted as GRITTY GRUEL....LOL THEN OFF TO THE OVEN
Thank you for answering the radiation question. You're awesome 😇
I hope you save the wagon and I really like your video today is very informative keep the good work up
That is a very impressive wheel heap take a while to clean them up lol
That was a good crush 😻❤️💕🚗
I pull a trailer 95% of the time and haven't had a flat in forever. Loaned out my car trailer and it came back with a screw in the tire. I knew better. 😂
Great job on your smushing. I wish that SHO was still good. And in my yard. Ha!
the key with the red soft plastic tag is a sears rollaway key
That was nice back day 1964good year Born that year
I hade a 93 Chevy Caprice Classic a few years back. In top shape, looked exactly like the white car you bought in full of junk. A real head turner. Had a 305 in it. Bought a new car, sold it to my daughter, and when she was done it went to a demolition derby and then the scrap yard. Great car.
Thank you so much explaining the radiation. PS the word you was looking for is putty knife.✌👍🤝😬😟😯
Wow, just saw the Porsche 928 in the background,poor old girl.
That was a VERY nice car back in the day.
silas, hey. great videos. "etch-a-sketch"; Bryan, Ohio!?!
please keep up all the hard work and great content.
very best to you and yours. thnx. walt
Oh, I love to see what happens to cars at the shredder place??
Dang I wish I lived closer to you, I'd love to have that Dash out of that 1964 Mercury Station Wagon
Thanks for sharing, Silas! It's strangely satisfying watching you crush cars! Question, though...do you crush every car that comes in before hauling it to the shredder, or just the vast majority of them? Also, ALL of your videos are entertaining! The vacation looked like a great time, and you're a very lucky young man...with a beautiful family! Congrats! Be safe!
I was wondering the same thing but it looks like he doesn't crush every car before going to the shredder, because he took what looks like an explorer but I'm not sure to the shredder timestamp is 7:43 and I was wanting to know why he sometimes does that.
Those 90's Crown Vics go for big bucks for derby cars up here in the midwest
I like watching a crusher work 😊👍👍🇺🇸🌎🌞
0:02. Wow! Can't believe he hauled all that on a single axle trailer! Looks like regular car tires on it too!
That merc is pretty damn rare. Someone needs to grab it. Galaxie glass will fit, as well as the galaxie door.. please don’t crush that car
I noticed many times he'll call something junk like it's beyond repair, that Merc is very restorable but he hasn't the insight.
@@dickdomain719 He's in the business of making money. If something doesn't sell in a reasonable time, it's using valuable space to keep it. If he can't sell it for more than scrap price, it's a sound business decision to scrap it. I could never be a scrapper because I'd keep too much junk.
@@phlodel - I junked many cars back in the 60's and 70's and 20 years later I regretted ever doing it, the $10 - $20 cars I junked are now up in the high thousands. Heck I gave away a 61 Chev bubbletop in 1986 because i couldn't sell it for a $100, shortly afterwards they started to skyrocket in value. That Merc wagon will be increasing in value. I fully agree with you I could never be a scrapper nowadays.
@@dickdomain719 I scrapped 2 "66 GTOs. The factory hot rod and the only GTO I've ever seen with power windows.
@@phlodel Wow! Difference is, back then we didn't know we didn't have the insight but today we do know.
Wherever you take your scrap the Crane operator looks like he has been doing it for a while. Great weekend to you.
🤔🤔🤔 don't drop those now 🙄🙄🙄 could be a bang experience 😲🙃🤪
Thnx!
0:29 Poor G6 🥺🪦😔
Surprised about the radioactivity. For your nail on tire problem you can dangle magnetic strips on the front of your vehicle and trailer. Most airport vehicles use them. Be safe. Good to see hard worker in action.
Radioactive materials would be the last thing I'd expect to find in a junk vehicle. It can really complicate your job. That Mercury wagon has a lot of valuable parts you can salvage. I enjoyed this video.
Those key chains are pretty cool! Small enough as a giveaway to subscribers? lol
Dibbs on the etch a sketch chain!
@@JohnShinn1960 Mine's the beer bottle one!
I want that white '96 Caprice ! The black rimmed Impala SS taillight lenses are on E-Bay for 280.00 $$
I noticed some crushing outfits remove the wheels before they crush cars? Others not so much. Is there a reason why? It seems cars without wheels flatten more without their wheels on?
I’m impressed with your skills with that loader! 👍👍👍 I have never seen anyone operate a machine like you!
I used to work maintenance in a chemical plant (31 years) and when they were doing maintenance in the last 10 or 15 years they had to check the process piping for NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material). It really liked to settle out in elbows and loops, also valves for some reason.
Cool job with the crushing, wonder if you could stack the tires in there to break the aluminum rims to demount them from the tires?
Didnt know about the radiation on all that drill stem pipe i put up lots of fences some huge hog traps thanks for the video.
Should've kept that dirt and a spider make its home in it and then when its good and radio active let it bite you to see if you can gain spidey like powers my spidey sence is tingling hahahahahaha become a super hero who crushes cars by day and fights crime at night or maybe causes crime at night hahaha 😆
Silas, ever think about building a second crusher? Those heave I-beams last week could have been a start to getting all the parts together. Then call in a welder. Lets see: hydraulic pump: forklift, hydraulic cylinders: boom truck, Motor: you might be able to find one cheep, Electronics: an old paper baler.
We have 2 crushers already and 2 bailers
P.s you know about the magnet do you know about using a file to make a nick in the metal to find out what's underneath the chrome finish its usually yellow brass most fixtures are yellow brass
Cool
Always check the trunks for bags of CEMENT...LOL HUH...??
That Pepsi can thing will sell for a bit of money.
More great crushing videos. Love watching you using the loader & how you use & the way you do it. I can really tell that years of working with the loader is paying off! 🛻🚜🚚🚐
I assume you carry a Geiger counter with you Old style wristwatches had radium on the hands and numerals that glowed in the dark. Radium is a radioactive element
Suggestion why don't you buy a two ton truck with a sixteen foot bed. Put a pintle hitch on the back of the truck and now you can haul six cars at a time. A truck with an international dt 466 is a good engine to run. You are the boss just a suggestion
So what do you With the radioactive metal. I worked in a Malleable Iron foundry and or scrap iron trucks had to go through a detector. Only once in my 36 years did the detector go off. Shocked everybody but the whole load went back. We also couldn't have any chrome. Some chrome was allowed in engine blocks but not our brand of iron parts. Most people dont know theres about 6 or 7 different iron parts in rheir cars and trucks. Our transmission gears, u-joints and connecting rods had copper in them. 10 pounds in a 7 ton load of scrap metal that went into the induction furnace. It was put in to make the machining easier and smoother.
Where I live, we had a golf course that had the body of an old VW that everyone would hit with their golf balls!
That was a nice 90s caprice 🤷🏼♂️
What I believe what would be a great advantage to you would be to Google car clubs for you to get in touch with when you come across cars
such as the 1948 Buick or the 1950 Oldsmobile ( Which I believe is the Super 88 ). The noses itself could be worth $ 3,500 to $5,000. Not even
counting the engines , transmissions plus the stain steel trim pieces etc. Parts such as those are very hard to find for restoration. You can name your price. Another outlet would be though Hemming Motor News. ( just saying ). ... . Robert in Queens, New York. ... .
Love those EZ Crusher crushers ,my friend Bob inherited one of those in Yellow ,but it's up in Maine sitting idle inside a big storage barn along with dozens & dozens of old tractors,bulldozers & other equipment, his pops probably got it from a equipment action years ago & never used it ,he had tons of cool stuffs ,my friend Bob didn't even know that was a crusher until I pointed it out among all the other stuffs inside....I would love to get my hands on it if he decides to get rid of it
We always get ours custom painted green
You must have a ton of paperwork to do for all of these vichles!
That ammunition looked like it was live.... I would get rid of that asap
Thanks for the radiation lesson!
How does it work down there
Do you buy scrap from the community and than crash it smash it and take it to another site to get shredded and hauled away?
Just wondering how the operation works. We love watching your videos and what you do. You are always very busy..
Old top dollar wagon.
