Another great video just love watching. Thanks for sharing and taking us on your adventures. And always remember take care of your self because if ur down won’t be know one to get all that work done.
Wow - these Catalytic Converters are GOOD Money - wow ! It was a Hot one for You and the Dinner was closed ! Best Regards from us in Australia - Cheers !!!!
CONGRATS ON THE 40K SUBS. Really enjoy your work. and your videos continue to get better the longer that you do it. your confidence is greater and you dont explain so much that is not needed. and you dont say things that you apologize about. I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS. Brother Silas.
You make some great videos I learned a lot of stuff from you
With all if those aluminum wheels you have or had I'm sure you could buy another trk or fix the A/C in the one your driving
Not my wheels
Cool stuff always thanks 😎 👌 👍
Sialas; You are about the hardest working young man I have seen .
Lol...you're just like me Silas...would forget my own head if it wasn't attached lol
Too funny. That load of cars by the gate while they were sitting on the loader. The truck/trailer backed up then IMMEDIATELY the loader started doing it's thing. Had to watch that part twice. Didn't see the edit in between. I was like, "How'd he do that? Is someone else driving or something?" HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤣😂🙃😁🤪🤭😏😛😊😝
That train. The engine in the middle is called a "DPU". Short fot "Distributed Power Unit". They stick 'em in the middle to assist with longer/heavier trains. They can push/pull the extra weight, reduce coupler breakage and improve fuel economy and/or all of the above. They can also help to prevent locomotive stalls on hills. A DPU is controlled by the lead locomotive via remote control. At the front, there may be more than one engine. DPUs as well. Controlled the same way. They all act in sync (usually). Sometimes on hills the leads will pull the weight before the DPU up and the DPU will "run a little faster" so as to help pull the rest up. Sometimes there's a DPU at the end of a train. Same principles. Those can sometimes be referred to as "pushers" because that's their main function:
They help push the train which the loco(s) are pulling. If one at the end, odds are there won't be one in the middle. Placement's all pre-calculated based on total weight and leading grade (if any - leading=steepest) on hill(s).
Nice haul of converters, don’t blame you being secretive with them. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
I’ll take that bus , is it a 466 ?! Nice thanks BigAl California
I used to work in a grocery store and we had boxes like those that came in with bulk produce and other grocery items you may be able to get some from your local grocery store if they fool with that will save you some money.
Jumping like a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs! The heat saps even more energy. I remember working outside, hot, cold, rain, snow. Some days were just miserable. Even if you don't eat at least stay hydrated. Your mind and body start crashing when you're dehydrated. I really hate to hear the prices going down. I know other folks that work hard scrapping to make ends meet. I know you and your dad aren't doing it for exercise either. Always enjoy your videos dear, I'm always happy to see a new one up. Stay safe and GOD bless
Silas, you know if you'll put your pin in the hook in the opposite direction from the way that you put this one in, so as until the head of the pin is on the side of the point of the hook, you won't have hardly as much trouble with the pin trying to come out, it really does make a difference if the load isn't pushing against the cotter key end. Love ya junkyard! To prowl a good junkyard for a day is like Christmas and a vacation day all in one, not much can beat it!
Interesting, thanks for the tip. This one lasted for 2 years so hopefully I remember this tip the next time it falls out 😆
I love your attitude
Great video
Man that Olds Ciera looked very clean. I wish could come across one of those that clean here even if it needed work . Most of those here in the rust belt are pretty much gone. I had a 93 Buick Century(same car) which i drove for 15 years until the rear undercarriage rusted out which is the death knell for those cars. I miss that car.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
My heart sank as soon as this video started because in the background was a VW Bug to far gone to be saved, RIP Bug.
Great video Silas
That was cool
👍
Great video and you should make a packed lunch to take to work don't make yourself sick xx and the next thing you buy is air con for your truck or a truck with it in 😅 keep up the good work 👏
Silas…u need like 3 sawsalls
You’re always looking for the one you left somewhere
Just takes money lol
👍👍
Soon as I saw the states I tough of your junkyard carbon for getting on top 👍🏻
I had a 2007 Pontiac G6 like the white one you had crush. I was a good car.
Gaylord boxes are great....get you a milwaukee carbide blade they work great
Was a nice stinkin Lincoin
that van looked like someone tried to burn it
Take a look at adventure strikes they have a ac unit that’s portable for their army truck, you could get one & move it from truck to truck 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
you should invest in another sawzall so you can keep one in each Vehicle
Congratulations on 40k
Best thing to see a ranger being trashed
Scrap yards have changed
I remember when they just crush it with transmissions still intact with fluids.
Edited : those converters years ago were popular for cash in. 2010 I got 65.00 a pc's. No man I never stole.
I bought estates and scrap it.
You had a hugh payday on those you have.
You put that pin in the hook backwards!!!!!! If you put it in the other way it will stay in longer without breaking it cotter pin !!!
Silas you know that bus you got with the 7.3 in it !!! It would be cool if you that engine and chassis and put one of the old dodge trucks cabs on it for a trailer pulling truck so you could haul three times as much at a time !!!!!!!
put a 12v fan from a school bus in your pickup it will help a lot
A running vehicle is ALWAYS worth more than scrap, especially nowadays with the chip shortage. Might be worth it to find a dealer and ship running vehicles to a larger population center.
In Australia you’d get a $450 fine and 4 points off the license for unsecured loads
You should get a good chop saw with a diamond blade and you would save a lot on swazall blades
when the hot temp hit hard need to drink water a lot and when can drink multivitamine stick
hi nice filming good job......still no one have patrs for the lancer?
I've said before Silas I'd love to come out and work with you for a week or so be like a vaca for me and help you get some stuff done I'd drive out there from ga sounds crazy but I love junk as much as you do
Lol another great vid.....get off the sidewalk!
I need windows out of a school bus for my 1954 buss
What gets done with the old fuel that you drain out of the cars ?
Do you need titles to scrap cars in your area? Do people just dump/abandon cars without selling them to you over night?
those diesel converter setups are like $2500 new
Salis that was outstanding loved it that was a lot of work but it was fun and enjoyable you are always different and you never no where it's going can't wait for next.
Silas you better eat park that truck on the street
👍👍👍👍😉💪
Get off the sidewalk LOL
What would you take for the vw bug.
Stainless pipe.
I remember throwing old cats in the trash in the 80's/90's. Nobody wanted them.
We have a receipt where we sold about 50 of them for $3 to $9 each back in the early 90s
You can't work safe if you're tired.
What is the going rate for the cats going for these days?
$20-$1500. Huge range of prices on them
I clean the converters with my cutting torch
Chopsaw is the fastest for sure, but the sawzall is 2nd. Torch works but you have to melt through the stainless pipe
I thought Silas wasn't that the leader of the gramercy street riffs from the movie the warriors but no it was sirus warriors cone out to playyyyy!!!!!
👍🇸🇪❤️.
open up the back slider window might make it work like a/c
You should eat no matter what, if you get sick you won't be able to take care of your family! A lot of things can go wrong with your health by not eating, so please find the time for your meals.
Just wanted you to know if you don’t already nickels, dimes, quarters, and half’s 1964 and older are 90% silver there are other years 20%
900 converters would be a nice payday. Also a lot of money out waiting to sell them. That would be terrible if someone stole them.
Morning Silas!! You mentioned needing a chop saw, do you have access to electricy? I'd be willing to donate a chop saw if the shipping wouldn't be to bad..
No electricity where I’m at usually. My dad has a gas one but he uses it
I don't know if it's true or not but I was told the lambder sense have platinum in as we
I've watched many of your videos, where is this shredder at ??
everyone wants to know how much you got for the converters!
How much do you want for the PELLA box truck
Buy another Sawzall. One for each truck. Problem solved.
Not the Volvo S60 from 2:21 the silver one🥲
Do you get your empty boxes back?
What happens to all the fluids in the cars?
Was thinking same thing
With all that Cadillac converter that's a down payment for a new truck
Not my converters
Poor ranger
I operate a wrecking yard in Wa love your videos.
SULEV car buyer .
Can share some info with you.
Left the sawzall in the other truck……sounds like you need duplicate toolset at all of your places.
Recession started in February.
Maybe, but official Q2 numbers don’t come out til the end of June. Have to have 2 consecutive quarters of drops before it is officially a recession.
??? What about the aluminum rims on the white car that was crushed first in this video?
Hubcaps 😎
Where are u that's its 100⁰ then 44⁰ lol
You are wearing a heavyflannel shirt over a t shirt,why dont you shed a shirt in the heat?
I have a friend here in Maryland that buy's catalytic converters for $300 a piece that is crazy you are getting ripped off
😆
Was waiting to see the HHR get crushed. Don't like those.
why do i see you crushing a lot of cars with alloy wheels ?
Wassup
hmm it maybe better to throw the chain from the other side of trailer , could hit a car on the road you don't see but will know when they stop
I always check
If you don't like the way I drive stay out of my grill then hahahahahaha aww fuck lol!
Hello. I enjoy your videos. Just asking, you buy junk cars and scrap. Then you crush most of the time and then load up on your trailer. You then most of the time go several blocks down the road and they unload your trailer. You are selling to them and making some money. Why don't other people just go to where you go and sell their scrap cars etc and I would think get more money for their scrap cars etc and skip you "The Middle Man".
I pay more than they do for cars, but I don’t buy loads of “little stuff”. So most cars come to us, everything else goes to them.
80 converters Jesus, we get $100-200 each when the guy comes to our shop
Converters have a crazy price range right now a converter off a ford superduty with a v10 is worth $1200-1500 bucks
Please turn your chain pin over
Do you have any chrome 1946 Chevy truck parts for sale.
I’m a serious buyer
Holy shit Silas I've never seen a Ford ranger pick up so rust free and your scrapping it thatd be like aborting the baby jesus didn't take the 8.8 out of the navigator wow! Suns getting to you boy!
Hoje com certeza vai tomar banho né?
Just found this channel and loving it but i there is something i don't get.
I hear you talk about your truck your yard your bus on your yard for a shed your this and that but you have a contract for 40 hours a week?, so i guess you are an employee?
If you don't want to tell i would understand but i just don't get it and is a bit confusing.
I own the property outside of town but I am an employee at the rest of the yards
Never understood why people use a pick axe
I'm starting a channel it's going to be called "adventures made while I'm scratching my nuts" hahahahahaha 🤪 😅 😂 🙃 😆 🤣
To prevent buying stolen cats, only buy them with titles to prove them and only from honest people
I don't have titles for any of my cats...
@@_M0NTY catalytic converter is the kind of cat I was talking about
A pneumatic drill and pneumatic hammer is faster and safer
How hard do you have to blow on it to make it work when you don’t have air?
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch compressor broke on the crusher
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch I work alone like you do and time is money
Why don't you have a dedicated work truck with all your tools in it ?
I have different trucks for different purposes
🤔🚘🚗90.2022💩💣👍
