Glad to hear you wanting to spend time with your family especially since your kids are so young. Enjoy them as much as you can cause if you don't time will speed by and they will go off to college or whatever they do and you will only see them on certain weekends and holidays. My wife and I are empty nesters and the house is so quiet.
Brian, I second that. My kid's young years passed by so quickly, and I missed most of them. Too busy making a living. I'm 76 now and am enjoying grandkids.
May I suggest you adopt a cupel kids or do fostering
Looking at your tilt trailer it reminds me of something that I learned a long time ago.
Work is so much easier when you have the right tools.
That civic makes my heart sing lol, sweet little thing. Ah well it's only shaped metal, crush it!
I was going to include a video thats like fifteen minutes long of my crazy neighbor who has a collection of old trucks and he is a ball of laughs. He is way brighter than what he pretends to be but it also shows something about alaska that people from anywhere would never see unless they actually come here. I hear the I need time with family and to me thats way more important. Your a good person Silas and we need more like you.
Good video as always. Yes, take time with your kids when they are young, no better time to be a parent then when they are young.
Nice car
Hello - That 5 liter Merc coupe is well worth keeping - I've had a few SL''s and the best I did was $7500 and the coupe is as desirable so it is better than scrap price - Glad your princess did well.
I like when your looking in all the cars to see what someone left behind.
Morning Silas! another awesome video, thanks for taking us along!! Be safe, God Bless!!
Family should always come first your children grow up so quickly, you are a hard worker 😮
My cousin had one of those Honda Civics when we were in school in the mid 80s, WOW that thing took alot of abuse for about three years while he owned it. We off roaded it, we hot rodded it, we pulled people on sleds with it. He ended up selling to someone else and it still ran and drove just fine
It makes my day to start watching your videos and hear you say good morning. You tell us your Plan A for the day. You walk around the vehicles just brought to your yard and tell us what your experienced eye sees. You talk about your family. Some day, you will have to give us a tour of all the cars you are keeping. It seems each vehicle has a story to tell, and you are able to read that story just by looking it over. Enjoy your videos very much. Kathy
That's a great setup on your trailer. Those vehicles have a story to tell, glad you get to discover some of them.
The Celica Supra are like gold dust!!
Find someone who will restore it like Jared at Wrench everyday
Here's an idea you can get rich off of Silas...Make footsies for tires so when you go to places like scrap-junk yards you can slip them on all tires and tighten some how then when you leave said yards just pull over and take them back off, maybe out of chain link or something simular sorta like chains in winter time
I've been watching your video's for quite a while, everything you do is a science, your strategy has always seemed right to me, let's see what the future brings (lol), keep up the good work!
Thank you salis great job thank you for sharing and your time great.
Get out of town, enjoy the family
Thanks for another great video. Enjoyed every minute.
Hey Silas it's great you are taking time to be with your family, kids grow up fast! My dad worked all the time and I never saw him and now he is gone, I miss him. I'm a single parent so I don't get a lot of time away from my kids, but that's a good thing! Keep the videos coming, they are great.
Another great video, keep up good job , slow down and enjoy time with your family . Scrap has fell to almost nothing in east Texas , dont see any junk moveing hardly at all.
Enjoyable Sunday viewing
When you did the ranch clean up saw you remove cross some farms have unmarked Graves but place cross to indicate family grave yard on the farm.
That red Dodge would make a great Emergency Fire Truck clone
I for one love the claw videos it's amazing how strong that thing is
Surprisingly the honda is a collector. Was worth money
Enjoy your time off with your family.🇨🇦
Thanks for another good video. I pulled a set of those IH roof lights and a few other parts off a 1600 grain truck for a guy last night. I'm cutting the fronts off level with the grain boxes putting hitches on and making dump trailers acreage guys can pull with their tractors. I got 1 20 ft tandem here on a GMC frame that will probably sell to a farmer for extra grain or bulk fertilizer moving, as it has the roll tarp on it still. The whole front ends of 3 trucks need to get weighed in, I don't know yet what the price drop was here after the last one, so they might stay for a bit. Take care.
Great video silas, keep'um coming
The hardest part about your job seems to be knowing what is worth working on each day and saving vs crushing. But I'm sure you like the puzzles. Looks like a fun job. I feel like jobs get fun once you get so comfortable/confident that you naturally always know what to do next. Then you come across people maybee not as knowledgeable that you sort out their problems real quick too.
Crushing my youth! Those cars were all over when I was in high school in the mid 80’s! Drove a 74 honda and a 73 maverick! And no, not sad to see them crushed!😆😆😆
I for one enjoy when you go through the cars looking for treasure.
I love your video's. They make my day better.
Very nice Mercedes!
Someone needs to buy that and wrap it in some classy wild color.
Something no one has seen before!
Never struggle when you have the health and strength to push a button! Great video Silas.
Nice looking Quonset huts across the street.
Kids are only young once. You are right about that. Find the time! Good man!
Would love to see a video on the Mercedes and it running,I like the one! Love your videos!
good stuff thanks
Have a great day
Thanks for saving that ratty celica, I could really use some of those parts.
Cool job
You killed Bambi the Honda !!! LOL
As always, I enjoyed the video.
Those cab lights make great turn signals for motorcycles
Always great Silas. I know it's lots of work but what you do would be fun for me. I'd love to have all those cars especially the old ones and run a crusher and a loader. Living in Mesa Az there is little room for hardly anything and land is ridiculous in price. Places like yours flat out do not exist here. Even the remaining farm land is being swallowed up by urban sprawl. I did have a chance to buy my wife's family farm in Southern Illinois a few years back but it's location and weather extremes we in Arizona are unaccustomed to and the fact our family is all in Mesa we passed on it. 85 acres with all the out buildings, log house, lake, equipment and flat open land. I'd have 85 acres of old cars. They wanted a 100K for it all. They just wanted it to stay in the family. It did sell a few years ago to one of my wife's cousins. While there when people found out I was in to cars they were wanting to give them all to me. I mean hundreds. Some were 1920's and 30's cars. Oh well. I'll be more than happy to watch your video's and enjoy what you do.
I seen a passenger side exhaust manifold with rare generator mount, that’s rare too, I’m a Chevy guy, love me some good ol Ford trucks too, nice thanks BigAl California
I am just the other way round I'm a Ford guy who loves me some old Chevy trucks. My 63 had a 283 with a 4 barrel and it ran like a scolded dog, plus the 283 was the best motor chevy made @ the time as it was like a Timex, it takes a lickin & keeps on tickin !!!
you dont HAVE to pull the engine out of taurus to pull the cats. the front one is a bit tricky but with a long enough sawzall blade you can get that front pipe cut at an angle.
Silas glad to see ur business is booming. Hopefully u can hire a few people and keep that boneyard open and making money. Another great video. Sound ssd's like u need to get ur own tractor trailers to haul the scrap .Unfortunately no one to drive em. What a situation to be in.
You're surgical with that equipment 👌
It would be fun to take a trip to you. Regards from sweden. 😀
Like the Mercedes, have a 85 300CD, 82 300D, 87 190D 2.5T, and 2 81 Rabbit diesel pickups
Thanks for the entertaining video I agree you do need some time off with your family to see kids do grow up so you got to take advantage of that time God bless
That Comet was pretty cool. My husband said it was a generic Maverick, lol.
Sweet first gen Cummins It's a workhorse
Good morning my friend
I know what you mean about spending time with the family. I was so busy when they were young. I was getting a teaching credential, and then teaching high school math. I missed a lot when they were small. Later, the load lightened some because of the smaller school I was teaching at, so I had more time. It seems like you just turn around and they go from being 3 to being 15. On the 24th, my oldest, Julianne, celebrated her 30th birthday.
Would like to see your inventory at the ranch and if you want to seal any of them.
14:00 🤔 Unusual looking load. Looks like the chains held! 😳
Family time is something that no amount of money can buy!!!!
Had to laugh when the claw punched out the poor Honda!
Cool vid Silas. I'd work for you if I was closer. I have experience in a scrap yard setting.
Yes
I love that Mercedes. What a good looking car. You'd have no problem selling that. If you have to crush it don't tell me.
I had a grazer mower like that .. biggest piece of junk .. very tight and hard to work on too
I want the Comet!
I was glad to see that Comet was stripped of everything useful by someone who knew what was worth taking. Those five lug Mavericks and Comets have a desirable 8" rear end, one of the narrowest that Ford made, and a drop-in fit for early Falcons, Comets, and Mustangs. That car probably had a 302 and automatic, and all the big bumper cars had front disc brakes, so that car was basically an all-in-1 conversion kit to convert a Falcon or Mustang to V8 and five lug disc. Granadas and Monarchs had the same front disc brakes, still very desirable to convert an older car from drum to disc.
Howdy from Australia, you should get a tray truck and tow your trailer behind it, that way you do less loads and haul more, and also wondering why do don't collect alloy radiators like you do copper ones
I work in a high school, and the garbage pickup has been suffering lately. Usually Waste Management picks up once a day, but lately the dumpsters are overflowing.
I love the square body dodge rams and the dodge Dakota's
been looking everywhere for one of those hondas
Wouldn't it have been safer to put the smaller car on top of the bigger one instead of the other way around?
The small one was full of iron
@@EfficientRVer fair enough
Even if you can't get cars picked up or prices drop, why not process and crush and have cars ready when you are ready to sell? And when prices rebound you have cars ready to go.
I was thinking the same thing. Crush them and stack them, takes up less room. Wait for prices to go back up.
We have found catalytic converters on some of those side by side ATV's. Take a moment and check it
It had a tiny one, but they’re only worth like $15 now and I wasn’t getting covered in burnt junk for $15 😆
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch exactly....save that stuff for the new guy 🤣👍
I seen a video of a guy who ran over a axe it popped up in the air and the car behind him drove right into it and the passenger got stuck in the head with the axe he lived but what a thing to have happen.
That 1976 honda civic was a rare car but its great to see a honda crushed lol
Aaa, not quite as cool as it was a minute ago.😂 6:32
👍👍👍
You can back the air brakes off and pull the axle or pull the shaft to flat tow it if you don't have any other options.
The brakes won’t back off. They’re rusted stuck. Has to be towed from the rear or trailered
I can come out from Alabama and work for you for a few weeks before it gets real cold. Might help you get caught up. I'm retired military and have a Class A CDL and nothing else to do. I'm old, mean and grouchy but I'm old school tough and have a strong work ethic.
Silas, you need to hire this man right now !! You don't find many like Charles anymore. If I wasn't married you would have hired
me six months ago when I first found you on the web. I have cancer but NOBODY will hire me {class-a cdl } because of the medicine I take. And there is NOT a man power shortage there is a gov. brain shortage. If they would quit giving out free money then people would HAVE to work. Bunch of lazy good for nothing pricks. My little brother is one of them too & we don't talk much anymore. Sorry for the rant !!!
@@joebradley7317 your 100% right on. I pray things will turn around before it's to late. In my state which is one of the most free there's empty shelves in every store due to bidons latest crisis, the shipping crisis.
I would love to have that Mercedes on the trailer
I have a crush on your show
Maybe some day show The Shredder?
Hopefully oneday I will get the chance to bring a working claw game to the giant claw & crush it !🤣
If you were in FLa a probably would have bought the comet
Nice 1976 civic
Delco Remy generator on the 57 engine....I believe 1960 was the first year for the alternator.
1964 on GM
On video that Dodge pick up looked in pretty nice shape. Was it Diesel or Gas ? You could put wheels and tires on it and park it out front for sale. As is. Probably sell it in a week.
We want to see a car go thru the SHREDDER!
Question: can u take cars out of the junkyard / fix and able to put them back on the road/registered dmv ?
シビック、懐かしいなぁ🎶👍😊
OK !!!
Check that sword it could be very old and very valuable may have possibly been used in a war if it has a serial number you can go on the Chinese websites or take it to an antique knife guy and get it checked some of that weird stuff that’s ugly it can sometimes be very valuable
You need a open/closed sign.
👍
Sign me up for the side by side vintage car tour.
OK Silas, if you haven't done it already, I have a challenge for you! I want to see any vehicle, running at least half throttle and crush it while it's running!! Lol C'mon
Hard to get good help!!!
Flat tires from the shredding yard?? Been there done that!!!!!!!!!
Is that like the one Dalton drove in Road House
Get a semi or a big trailer and drive to the claw to make cool videos and you have ads on YT so you can profit from entertaining just about anyone.
