. I did one more day of processing cars at my yard, but then I had to take the loader back to our main yard. I'll work out of that yard again eventually, but for now I need to make some room back home!

About Adventures Made From Scratch: I’m just a regular guy who likes to find adventure in day to day life. We may not be able to go travel the world, but there are plenty of opportunities at our door step. I do a mix of vintage car stuff, scrapyard stuff, nature hiking, and who knows what else?!? Come with me as I take you along for a ride in my world! My 2nd Channel: / @moreadventuresmadefro...
Thank you Silas. That crane operator is so good he could play JENGA with the crane.😂
I mean come on how cool is that CLAW I COULD WATCH THAT THING ALL DAY LOL
I would love to find a giant pile of copper pipes, boat motors, radiators, aluminum copper wire sheets of copper aluminum wheels. Those lug nuts will come off with a cutting torch.
that red 95 ford truck had alot of good parts
You could probably drive to TX.and buy one and drive it back.
First thing I saw n said.
I found your channel this morning, and been watching for hours! Keep it up!!
When I was a Kid I helped the neighbor junk cars and we hauled them State Steel in Sioux City IA They had the big magnet on their crane and had a huge shredder machine that was like a hungry monster that chewed them up in little pieces
I chopped my nose half off, I chopped my right thumb half off, I smashed my right index knuckle and finger cut four tendons, and about a hundred and thirty miscellaneous stitches from the scrapyard
What do you want for the Diamond Ts and the school bus 🚌
All of us here in the rust belt she's a tear when we see a clean-to-us OBS ford or square body GM go to the shredder.
I know.....you can't save them all!👌
Isn't funny that in two years time there will be so many subscribers on this channel that hosting an annual swap meet would be easy. People on the ground to do logistics and put together pallets for shipping parts home, (ala @irontrapgarage), a list of charities that could get some of the proceeds. Hotels in town that would have happy hours. Prices would would be fair, the comradery would be second to none. The town would love it & people would look forward to it.
I've got the whole plan figured out in detail right in this notebook.....wait, Where did I put that notebook? Did somebody see a notebook? I laid it down on a car that was right here a few minutes ago.
Wish I lived there..you probably have every part I need and everything I don't need but would want..
Happy Hauling Silas , thanks for sharing.
Every day is a wonderful day, especially above ground.
The 'crunchy' sound of money and even the JYD loved you.
i work at a tire shop and when the caps were missing on a 3/4 lug nut you can use an 18 mm six point socket..that generally works..even when stripped..if all else fails buy an extractor set.
clear out and cash in
most enjoyable to have a country boy share his day working hard. great that you continue to record often, extra work on the end of your day!! i enjoy it
I really enjoy your videos and your calm no nonsense personality. You are going to do well with your channel.
Those cabovers have to be worth something. That old Mack looks decent.
good crushing today and i hope many more crushin day's to come.
Its a wonderful day to watch your videos!
I like all this stuff. Growing up I had a friend here in Mesa Az that had a wrecking yard. I'd grab a soda and a chair and go out there and watch them crush cars. Looking forward to seeing your crusher.
Great old iron.
hi keep the good work up i love watching
Great video.
Nice way to spend the time while waiting for the kids to get done with their shopping.
Happy fourth of July weekend to everyone.

Silas! For all who appreciate a good operator. You are dang good and very efficient on the case!!!
It’s incredible how so many cars you crush out look better than what is sold as used around north Georgia where I live.
Morning Silas! I can only imagine the cool stuff you come across on a daily basis, it's great that you try & save what you can, like those Ford Explorer 8.8 rear axles...those work well in hot rods...keep up the great work... GOD BLESS!!!
This was the best yet Silas. I like the way you smooth over the comments from others wanting you to save this or that. You know exactly what you are doing with your junk!
Thanks!
THAT'S THE ONE! That claw is really pretty All I've ever seen is the magnet, can't wait to see the car mutilator in action.
There's a couple yards where I live in N.C. that have the claws and those operators really know what they're doing. They can grab a vehicle off a trailer yank it up, spin around and toss it up on a pile like it was a rag. It's exhilarating to watch. It just sucks that when I'm in there I don't have time to hang out and watch for awhile.
Junk Guy Ya did a great job in todays video Happy 4th
most of them cars where newr and nicer than i own and drive
When the Chromecap on a 19 mm lug nut comes off, it becomes 18 mm, I used to run and salvag yard in North Carolina
That crane operator parks cars good! 😂
Woo Hoo, I see crusher in the back ground👍💪🦅🦅🦅
Thnx!
another good vid,,, always enjoy seeing all of the old cars and such crushed for scrap metals... that CLAW is interesting too,,, guess these scrap yds don't use the huge magnet anymore (?) and still nice to see these places have a "JunkYard Dog" roam around
When I was a little kid, I wanted to have my own scrapyard.
😭Where is #JunkyardMook when you need her 👍
You could a a pick a part section to your yard
If I had more room and employees I would. We buy so many cars that I have to stack them, and that’s an insurance liability.
found your channel this morning. and have watched almost all the videos. totally awesome channel 😁
I like how he casually said at the county shred yard yea this stack here I was sure busy yesterday and that pile over there ... that was last week.....
Hate to see all those good Tail Light & Head Lights being destroyed and all the other usable stuff.
Unfortunately that type of stuff is virtually worthless. For example, you can buy a headlight for $35 on eBay. Shipping is $20, materials are $5, fees are $3.50, and then you have to pay taxes on the remaining profit, so that’s less than $5 I would get for that headlight for the hour it would take to pull, list, and package it.
it is so nice to see you in such a grand mood,splat.keep your positive mind set.
I love scrapping
Great video keep them coming I learn a lot happy 4th.
Thanks alot I will check back with you later love your videos lots of good stuff
I repainted 3 of those cranes!!!
That maroon Ford truck at 1:35 when new I'm sure was beautiful but nothing last forever.
Willd stuff. You do get to see some neat things...
HI SILAS-I just found this video I thought you cleared out your woods maybe this Is an old one I saw. What a big claw on that crusher dam how are you feeling now with that bad pain and you had to go to the hospital????? keep In touch .LA.CA.
I was cleaning a farm out previously, and this vid is based off of my property. The next vid will be a different location yet.
I saw a 57 ford😁👍😊
Wish I could get away from my job for a week or two...I'd come out and lend a hand..maybe take an old truck back home with me..their hard to find half solid here in ohio
I wonder if all scrap yards smell the same, a musty, not very pleasant smell?
VOC Volital Organic compound Emissions
Dang a 57 Belair 4 door HARDTOP by those explorers! Hopefully her and the 57 Ford sedan will be spared the crusher.
Those old 80's grand Cherokees have become a collectors item
happy independance day
Can't wait to see ur crusher in action
It's like demolishing buildings Silas , we always have random people telling us what we should be saving not realising the time it takes to save, transport , store and eventually sell eats too far in to the profits to be viable 🍻
I’ve dealt with it my entire life. I save as much as I can, but I’m not going to drive myself into the grave to save it all.
12:07 WOW!! a SHO Taurus
Do you have any impala or cars from the 30s to the 60s
I enjoy the content! Although, I have a suggestion that I’m positive others would find it really cool to see the shredder in action! Now that would be really cool!!
I need to find a way to get your vehicles to Ontario Canada. We repair cars and trucks far worse than the vehicles you crush. I totally get that you need to move stuff. I wish it was financially feasible to ship parts to Canada.
geez those truck tailgates sell used for 500 bucks here where I am. The dealers charge 1500 bucks!! cool business though!
You’re doing super good to get $50 here
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch Holy Really!! I wish I had known that when I was looking for the replacement of mine. I paid almost 600 bucks by the time it was on the truck, and I still had to paint it to match...which did not go well!! :)
It's part of the pandemic,no drivers for many companies and it is also an issue that is affecting your business and video information. If I lived in your area would love to be a part of your crew. I seen that vehicles that may aid people that are willing to take for free to help them get onto a more independent status.
Take the frame off at that Dodge Ram and get an engine for it. But we get one nuts truck from the 70s. From sixty seventies put it on there on air and go from there
I scrap and lots of time people give me good stuff I resale the good stuff and scrap the scrap. Lot of scrappers overlook that stuff. I'll have junk transmissions gave to me I've sold as rebuildable cores for 75 bucks instead 5 for scrap if that
I could’ve used that seat on the John Deere mower stuck inaise the truck windshield. But I fully understand why you can’t spend all day pulling parts.
And I imagine that transmission wouldn’t be good for your tire if it were sticking out at the wrong angle.
5 in god could use a that dodge ram mines rusting away . sad im north east
Same, they crush mint second gen rams like it’s nothing down there but up here in pa they are worth thousands 😂
How do y’all keep from having flat tires all the time? Interesting to see how they pull everyone’s loads and keep them separated until they weigh them, I guess? I figured everything was weighed then trailer weight subtracted. Shows how little I know! I love that these are videos I can watch and enjoy without hearing bad language; thank you, Silas! I’ll be watching for scenes of Kansas in the future, hopefully, since I’m too old and decrepit to ever get out there.
They weigh every load as it comes in. Most people just put theirs in the main pile, but because of the huge volume I ship in they give me my own spot to put stuff.
As far as tires go, I’m just very careful where I drive.
That used to be a good looking Ford lol 😂
The bumper on that white f150 he put in the bin upside down had a really rare rear bumper
I used to operate a clamshell grapple (3 fingers-2 fingers) I could do more with it than the one he is showing. I would open the hood, then take out the battery without crushing it. Pull the motor out, then pop off the catalytic converters. Flip the vehicle over and pull out the fuel tank. I could even get the fuel tank out of the older trucks that had the fuel tank in the cab. The worst vehicle I ever had to take off a trailer was my Father-in-laws 1958 Chevy truck. That broke my heart. The worst vehicle we crushed was a MINT saleen mustang. (Part of a divorce settlement) It was hard putting the old cars in the crusher. The new cars all look alike, so they didn’t matter. Vehicles that didn’t fit in the crusher, I’d tear apart. The strongest thing on-a school bus was the seat belt. I picked a whole school bus up by the drivers seat, with only the seat belt connected to the bus. Truck trailers (53’) I could tear apart in ten minutes (except for the wheels and axles where they attach to the frame) I’d take dishwashers apart for the customer and get the electric motor out so they would get more money. I used to have 3 sizes of rolled up fences, that I used for brooms to clean up scrap. My Kirby, Hoover and Dustbuster. The dustbuster was for those little trailers that you see at Lowe’s.
When you clean up old places, is the scrap money from the metal your payment, and do you have to pay the land owner a fee to get access to the stuff or do they pay you for the clean up plus the scrap? Seems like an interesting business
We pay for the scrap
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch thanks
Nice ford
Do you want to sell the green and white 57 Ford four-door is on the right side of your yard when you drive in please let me know
Last I knew the yards in my area would not take vehicles unless you took the tires off.
Would you ever do a video as how these crushed car are separated by items such as plastic,glass,upholstery,hard and soft metals.
Chrysler lug nuts are a pain just peel back outer case with a flat head and hammer. I'm in the same line of work
Really enjoyed I love junk yard looking and dreaming. Where are you Located I was born In Pittsburgh , Kansas.
You should pull them license plates from vehicles, they can be worth money to collectors.
I usually do but I’ve been on a mega time crunch lately
Would like to the shredder in action.
well one video was enough for me .
Have a good day!
👍
Postpone crushing the old cabover’s.
They are rare . The Antique Historical Truck Society has a advertising section.
Some enthusiast would love to have that Mack.
Even after being "jilted" over what to save cause people are too lazy to come look and start a project resque for what older rigs sell. Ten years from now it might be the 94-97 ford trucks or four door cars that are slowly gaining popularity. You have used easy outs for broken bolts and you drill into it and twist the headless bolt out. They make a socket I call the female easy out and they absolutely work great on those lug bolts/nuts. Sears sold them and seen them on amazon so not real expensive.... nice thing is not looking for right sockets to fit those lug nuts, One size fits all and grabs and spins even lock out nuts off ... hope that will help in the future
🙂👍👍👍👍👍
That Ford PU had no rust. I fugured someone would want the bed. Sickening.
How much do old license plates sell for? I noticed a number of the cars you crushed had plates. Those might be good for collectors.
If you dont mind i would like to know more do you sell to the place you work or is there a place you sell to in your town? You must to ok to have the loaders i didnt think about the future i should have bought some bigger trucks and equipment years ago, I love looking around when i sell a load but you always see something that could have been sold or used but it all cant be saved.
I sell to a shredder. We just have crushers. Maybe someday we’ll buy a shredder, but that’s a major purchase.
I need a 6.2 ls with a 4L80 trans and a truck 351w 4 barrel engine
Lawn mower motors go for an easy $20, I sell them all the time
That’s about what they bring in the scrap right now
If we leave tires gas tanks on here in Philly pa the load comes back rejected plus we save what's in first comment means more money
What do Corporate Companies do with unsold vehicles. Do they hire you to demolish those unsold cars. Or do they just stock piled them in large open fields.
I just see junk cars moved from one location to another. Who does the shredding and separation of materials? I would not want to be behind you on my motorcycle with the small debris that could fall off.
Id love to help you in one of your. Yards
Need a complete dodge 5.9 cummins donor truck
Hey love this channel do u remove and sell the cats or just leave them in
Is there a scale at the "claw" yard?
Have you thought of busting off the stuck alloy rims with your fork lift? Its definately do-able.
Very hard on the equipment and not worth the extra few bucks imo
Was waiting for the end to ask about what type of wheels (and hubcaps) you might look for and keep. Then, you partially answered the question in the video. But, perhaps you can elaborate more on it. In some of your videos I see several spoked wheels from old vehicles. Is there any value to them? Also, do you know what the end result of the tires is that go in the scrap trailers? Do they end up being melted with the iron is melted or is the rubber separated out somehow? Does anybody know?
The waste like rubber, plastic, glass, etc typically winds up in the landfill after being shredded and separated from the metal. Occasionally it is recycled but not often.
Since you guys all want to know, he mainly works in the City of Michel, OH and his address is 9837 South Faircraw Street!
