Hey everyone... The fam and I are all good after that crazy blast of weather. The wife and I don't have power but my folks live down the street and have power so I am able to post from their pad. I got a little video of some of the aftermath damage I'm putting together if anyone wants to see that. PEACE!
Watch your head.
I am glad you’re all ok, it would be good to see your video footage of the aftermath 😍
I'm glad you and your family are ok Mike. Good to hear.
Glad you and your family are all safe.
Glad you and yours are safe.

"It's not producing any radioactivity..." Next video Mike glows in the dark dumpsters. 🌟😁
Maybe he will become magnetic and attract all the scrap iron😮
@@larryjohns8823
That will make it easy to detect steel 😂
Another day with Mike is always a good day
You know it - absolutely !!!
It's just like being there!😉
Mike see you found some more stuff for your space ship,lol. Love seeing you find some interesting stuff in the dumpster 😜😜😜❤❤❤❤
kick back can be caused by either improper valve lash or they hit something big with the blade and sheared the flywheel key making engine out of time, easy fix unless the crank got bent from striking a heavy object
Partially sheared flywheel key. Firing at the wrong time.
Not partially sheared. Sheared easy fix if the crank isn't bent.
The world is such a mess Mike but you always lighten the mood for me and many others is peaceful in the dumpster. Dixieu
Glad you are all ok Mike, I didn't realise there were issues over there, sending positive vibes from England 👍
Yes we have been experiencing some exceptionally severe storms as of late. Tornadoes, heavy rain, hailstorms with golf ball and larger size hail balls. It’s been interesting.
@@Manhandle730 oh wow, Mother nature at her most troublesome! Stay safe out there!!
Yeah I was wondering about the Mike the scavenger with all that weather but you're back on and that makes my day ♻️👍💯😁
Glad to hear you & the family are safe. Praying for those who have been seriously affected by your severe weather.

Scrap master Mike I am so sorry to see the damage there in Texas. I pray for y'all to get your power back soon. God bless and keep safe.

Hey Mike .those bank sending tubes have a motor on the bottom part that you put the travel tube in just letting you know if you didn't know .they look like the one you found in the box that was with them
Outstanding video with awesome content thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother
Glad to see that you are ok was worried that the storm was in your area. Nice to see you out and about.
That red lawn mower needs a shear key.
Exactly pull the flywheel and replace the key probably hit a root.
Glad you’re all OK. Good haul today. Watch your head!😊

Hi Mike, I found someone who was using your content as it was his! And outet him in the comments!!!😂😂😂 His answer was not friendly!
Did the persons videos get taken down?
Mike knows various types of Metal! Copper, Aluminium, Stainless Steel, Iron Maiden, etc... Keep on scrappin'
I just love your videos, going strong now for 7 yrs of watching , lets keep going
I have been watching for awhile, and I still can't believe you don't have separate dumpsters for cardboard. Wishing you well with storms.
I really wish my work did we throw away so much cardboard and things that can be recycled! They don’t want to pay for the extra service!
nice to see sunny weather for you after the crazy weather
Hi Mike

All the way from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦
Hope you are all doing well after all those storms.

OMG I broke out in a huge smile when I heard you singing Iron Maiden "Run to the hills". My favor band ever.
Your videos are the best 👌 watching from Ireland
Stay safe
I always wanted my own tube system. So cool lol
Thanks for another nice one Mike.👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Mike, PLEASE don't breathe that dust. It is phosphorus, not something you want to get in you, to say nothing about the mercury. Please be careful, we want you around for a while, brother.
Troybilt an easy fix, unless they bent the crankshaft (at bottom of engine, that the blade connects to). What happens is, they whaxk something hard enough to immediately stop the engine (such as a curb, tree root, neighbor, rock etc) and when that happens there is a tiny aluminum shear key on the flywheel that is designed to break, and throw off the spark timing to quickly stop the engine from running. Usually on that job you will replace both the mangled grass cutting blade, and the shear key. Relatively cheap fix for a nice mower!! The only potential issue is if the object was hard enough to bend the crankshaft when hit, then even with a repair it will vibrate so badly that its dangerous. Only fix then is either replace crankshaft ($$$) or replace engine with a new or even better, used one off an old mower. But they have to have same crankshaft length, width, and engine mounting bolt patterns if you decide to go that route ✌
I appreciate the jams thanks
The kickback on the pull rope is usually due to the flywheel key being sheered because the user hit something like a rock or a thick root and stopped the mower abruptly. When the shaft stops abruptly, the flywheel wants to keep going, sheering the key. Now the timing is off. It's an easy fix as long as they also didn't bend the driveshaft and the blade, then it's toast.
I agree , you put your thing in a box and send it. Lol
A squeeze and a lift? Come on mike keep it G rated
Thanks Again Mike!
Best to you and your family God bless you always.
Carry on! 🙏✝️🙏
Yes
Hi Mike,
Nice find on the table and chairs. The key might be partially sheard and. Ends to be replaced. I bought a bunch and have with spark plugs and blades.
Normal repair bill is $75. Cheaper to toss then repair.
Have a good weekend to you and yours.
Hello Mike IFrom Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
You do a great job
Awesome
I love the singing!
@ 3:58 Troy Built Lawnmower. The key is sheared off on the flywheel, so it's out of time.... When it tries to start, does it rip the rope out of your hand?? Hurts your hand??? It's out of time....
That thing looked nice. Bag looked mint, too... In my very humble & limited experience, if it has a nice bag, you can get money for it. The people want the bag. You can get that running, and it'll bring money....
Go for it, Mike!!
He dropped it off at the scrapyard at the end of the video. With 500k subscribers you don't need something like that.
Awesome video Mike
Hey yo big Mike, glad your all well. Loved the Iron maiden run to the hills . Stay well my brother.
The music at the end this time was freak'n awesome ( and so is your channel :)
Hellooo...I was watching the old videos, while waiting for this...YAY
Love the Iron Maiden song
Husband's cousin had a bad fall right during the Houston storm and had to go to the hospital. She is okay but we will have to wait hear about the ride to the hospital in that mess. She is okay but that was a big storm!
Mike, with all the fluorescent lights you deal with, you might be at risk of mercury toxicity. Mercury gas settles in low places so when you're down in dumpsters, that's where it will be. Just urging you to take appropriate precautions and not break more tubes than you need to, and maybe get your blood tested once a year to see.
Bla bla bla.
Absolutely, I was thinking the same thing.
13:48 That looks like Spaceship parts to me! 🤣
Bună seara Mike felicitări ❤❤❤❤❤
Windstorms = scrap trampolines, patio furniture, etc.
Lemonade from lemons 🍋
Ha Mike
That dentist exray machine, could be hotter than a two pecker Billy goat. The reason why they replace them, is because they have a shutter that opens and closes. And the trigger that does it go , gets stuck open. And it starts over exposing the film. And thair is nothing thair, to stop the exrays coming out the barrel, sorta speek. Thair are 24 silver looking ballbarens about the size of blue berries. That products One hundred and twenty rads. IF the shutters open, inside a steel dumpster, they will reckasha off the steel. The combined construction of the exrays, can be as high as one thousand four hundred permilla second. I use to build these things. RUN
I caught that reference to Urban Cowboy..."mobile homes, son. the wave of the future". Shot in Houston, of course.
We love you mikethescavenger!
Hey Mike im glad you and yours are doing well! I watched an Utuber,The urban rescue ranch in Waco,so i keep on top of the weather down in Texas! I understand its not going to be any better for a while. I will keep you in my prayers! Stay safe. Scrappity scrap! BTW that tiny Spider-Man bike was adorable, hope you passed that on to someone. PEACE!
Slammin' outro!
No fair Mike, you can't make us wait a week for the next video!❤🩹
Mike = immer 💰
On the mower check the oil. Alot of them are overfilled which leaks into the carb and gums them up.
I'm over here faning away at the Grill Dust
