- THIS PLACE WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!! It's absolutely incredible what we'll find as we explore "The Forgotten Junk Yard!"
Join me on this episode of Rescuing Old Iron, where we'll start by exploring the incredible MACHINES and MACHINE TOOLS that are here. The Machine Shop is literally falling in on itself, there is AWESOME Heavy Equipment that hasn't run in YEARS, and an entire Semi Tractor / Trailer Rig out in the woods!
That's not to mention, there are more tools here than we could even spend time looking at, and ALL that is before we look at the HUNDREDS of OLD CARS & TRUCKS here on the property!!
I was amazed at all of the different types of things I found here! If I was AMAZED at this place, I promised you will be just as amazed, if not MORE!!
I feel honored to be able to explore all the incredible history this place has, and I would LOVE it if YOU joined me as I uncovered things you'd never think to see in a place like this!!
This is going to be a two part series, and I promise, you DON"T WANT TO MISS PART 2 of this tour! It's truly AWE Inspiring!
This is part one, but Part 2 will be the Tour of ALL of the Old Cars & Truck that are here at the "Forgotten Junk Yard". These vehicles range from the 1940's on into the 1990's, but MOST cars are older than 1970, which is CRAZY!!
In this series "Rescuing Old Iron" here at Salvage Workshop, I'll show you where I discover MANY amazing old machines that have been there for 10, 30, or even 100 years! Everything you see me haul back to the workshop has been purchased from the owners, and now has a new lease on life! We'll talk about the history of the places I take you to and have a little fun PICKIN' in search of buried treasures!

It's easy to judge people in situations like this, but I highly suggest avoiding that, you don't REALLY know why things are the way they are!
I agree it is crazy, but I can't tell you how many places I've been to like this! You have to understand the mindset of "idea people" (like me), they have HUGE plans for things and see potential in things that most people don't, even if that means REPURPOSING something... Many times life happens and many of those plans never get accomplished... BUT that doesn't eliminate the desire to accomplish their dreams or ideas, whatever they may be!
Plus people who have lived with the depression era mindset, (hang onto EVERYTHING, because YOU NEVER know when you'll need it), bring another dimension to hanging onto things... we live in a throw away society today, they DID NOT, and many times they STILL don't!
My opinion would be that MOST times it's NOT greed that makes someone keep things like this, the greed usually comes once someone else inherits the property and all they see is $$$$, even if it's not worth much of anything at all!
Trust me, these people, their knowledge, & their collections are disappearing QUICKLY!
I've gotten to the point where I just enjoy the people I meet through my crazy journey's & the amazing places they so kindly let me visit, and if I'm able to rescue some of their treasures, then I feel truly honored!
merci beaucoup pour votre réponse qui a beaucoup de sens pour moi, vous êtes bien un sauveteur tant de travail précieux à restauré et à conserver, j’apprécie. Pierre de Vierzon France.
thank you very much for your answer which means a lot to me, you are indeed a rescuer so much precious work to be restored and preserved, i appreciate it. Pierre de Vierzon France
G'day Matt, sorry it's been a while mate. The vehicle thing doesn't interest me as much as the old machinery so it was good to see you digging thru all that gold again
Fully agree with you on the reasons and values of the ppl that keep soooooo much stuff. It's fantastic that you find such lovely old junk but also kinda sad that it is there to be found😊😢
Recently I came across an old Rockford drill press that I will restore one day, beast of a thing and very rare to find in Tassie.
Also great to see that the channel has grown so much👍
All the best mate 🍺
that is a cool junk yard . i my self would love to get in that machice shop. but im to far . im in illinois. thank you god bless Eugene from illioiis.
You Sir are Absolutely Correct. And its a Shame we live in a Throw away Society...People dont have a Clue of going without...If they did they would treat the things they have with RESPECT...But thats a Whole other Conversion....You put it TOO A T...with this Message. Thank You for sharing. For a Young Man You have a lot of Insight to why people did these kind of Things Great Job...
Well said, life does happen and time waits for no man. I never judge people like this, what we see as a pile of junk, was once somebody's hopes and dreams.
There is a lifetime of stuff there. Would take a small army of dedicated u-tubers to get that stuff running.
That kenworth and lowboy set up is so perfect. Dang get that running and haul out that old loader!
I could never walk in a place like this, I'll take it all home
I can definitely agree with this. I would take it all even tho I have no room for it all. 🤣🤣
I DO want to take it all home, but I need a bigger shop first!
@@SalvageWorkshop that's the problem with me. I have a shop, but its tiny. Also I'm only 16 so there's only so much I can do.
Me too
@@tinytruck1200 keep up your dreams and persue the field you want when I was in high school I attended a trade school and took heavy equipment best decision I ever made if you keep working towards your dream you always achieve it
"That thing has seen better days" Truer words were never spoken. And a reminder that there was a time when things were made in USA.
I don't know about you...but I smell the 'International Brotherhood of You Tube Restorers and Renovators" annual convention !!
Great time watching this, you could show anything and it would be amazing. Thanks to the owner for letting you video this, for letting us see. The effort you have put into the place of late is huge. It builds dreams and inspires those of us that see beneath the rust.
That old machine shop tells a story of a couple generations of people working there, it was probably never the best machine shop to ever be but I bet they did a lot of work for a lot of people!!!
Wow there is more then a couple of lifetimes of stories there , each piece of gear has a long story to tell.
I'm not really interested in heavy iron myself and at seventy years of age simply could not address all the issues I have seen so far, but by the Gods if I was forty years younger and had a pocket full of cash there are things in there I would truly want. You syrr are in hog heaven.
I was a welder in a big machine shop for 37 years and have seen all of those machines running even today they still run 50 years old machines! Get it while you can if the guys wants to get rid of it! You would actually be helping him out getting it off his property! My bosses would go crazy over that stuff 20 years ago! Their shop is so established now! He’s even set some of the old machines with computers!
I'd have to rescue everything there, what an amazing place.
most of it is to far gone to rescue
I agree! I just need a MUCH bigger shop! There is plenty left worth saving!! We'll just have to see!
@@Bill-xc8le Sadly, true.
You can never have a big enough shop- for long! It always fills up.
@@SalvageWorkshop I hope you really realize how lucky of a find that is. There aren’t many old in touch machine shops like that
A sight to make one want to cry, not just for the machines and tools but the hard times the owner must have gone through to let things go the way they have.
Should get those machines running one by one, you should get all that old tooling off the ground and out of the weather, it could all be saved. Keep up the great videos and God Bless
NEW SUBCRIBER. You broke my heart running through all the great equipment. I was drafted into the Army from a large farm. My parents got divorced while I was gone. I was also in Vietnam '68. There was wonderful a junk yard about a mile from our house. We'd go there all the time and the owner was an expert on manufacturing and welding. You walked by a weigh scale I used. I'd pick up the 200 lb pigs and walk them onto the scale to weigh them. We had a lot of that equipment on our farm in our shop. It's all gone because of family crap. I worked hard all my life from age 7. Best to you👍. Eaglegards...
I see one mans life and passion after he has gone and years of neglect
All of them bits and cutting tools in that machine shop. All of that high quality carbon steel!! I can’t even begin the estimate the value of that all.
I did enjoy this. I've been junktarding for 60 years but I've never seen anything quite like this. This is definitely different.
On the skid steer, just to the right of the seat. Creak the starter fuse. It is a 15 amp fuse, closest one to the front.
Front to back-----Starter, loader arms, acc and lights. 15,15, 25, and 20.
What a gold mine of old machinery! I said to myself What are the chances that there is an old Singer Sewing Machine somewhere in the pile! Lo and behold there it was! ROTFLMAO! Wish I were there with you young fella!
OMG all those vices *drooling*
Can not believe I watched an hour of a guy walking thru a junk yard but I LOVED it. Thanks
So much potential and so little time
I was a kid in a candy store watching this on my small phone screen. It must be amazing to witness this in person.👍👍👍
IDEA: Once Big Red is up and running around, for sure you will have calls for work/help. The low boy trailer is a no-brainer. Instead of the Kenworth, might consider a sizeable dump-truck. Many times when a Cat is required, so is the need for a dump truck. Cha-ching! And then even a smaller sized excavator is frequently needed. Voila - a new profession that makes great $$. Love the vids by the way.
Ah...so much cool stuff. Would love to check that stuff out....
Awesome in the true sense of the word. I remember places like that back in the ‘60s. Most have been cleaned up by now. There are still remnants of one out in the country, must be 80 years old. A lot of it was buried about 25 years ago and nature is reclaiming the land. Big fun!
I love those machines in the machine shop and heavy equipment.
That stump grinder would be a great project. I wish I was Mikes friend I’d be there every week
Cool video looking forward to part two thanks for sharing
I love digging around in the old iron and rebuilding a tool to use, looking forward to the next video
Thanks for showing us all that old tools. I can't do anything with it, plus I'm too old and without energy, but when I see them, I become greedy.
Cool.
A goldmine!!!
Dozer first please !!! Then lowboy and semi.. you need this dozer (this is must have for everybody). God bless you, and thanks for great content.
I got pins and complete set up for that bender minus the dyes...always amazes me this much money just gets left to rot. I mean 100s of thousands in tooling and cutters and equipment just left to rust. Who got sick and had no one to take over? I mean its just crazy that press would be worth having for sure.
So true. Too often life's situations and sickness (and age) gets in the way of the most avid plans. So pleased that you folks are rescueing a lot of that machinery. Go ahead!
The Vermeer machine is interesting. Cat wheel loader has to be the next project to work on and get running again?! Great all round video. Thanks
That CAT could be your next project. Lot of nice machinery on that site . Cheers from Jacksonville Florida
Overwhelmingly sad but very cool. There's a lot of value there but also a lot of expenses. Like I'm telling you something you don't already know. Very cool tour of a big candy store.
Those "pump" things with the yellow guards on are rotary air seals, normally found in the flour/grain industry
Love to get my grubby paws on the large drill bits!
This guy needs to go around and tag everything! Scrap metal or keep, and put into piles!!! Two men with machines to move, lift, and carry everything to whichever pile it needs to be in. Sell all the good stuff, and scrap the rest!! I see a big pile of money in the end, and a cleaned out property!!! In my opinion!! Pa kettle needs to start making money before it's to late!!!
You definitely should start the old dozer
OMG. I would be like a kid in a Candy store there..Great video....
I know I WAS!!
Should jack up the ceiling in that old shop, and shore up the walls that are just about to give up the ghost... Probably plenty of old iron beams around there to use!
I enjoy all of your videos brother! I noticed the generator when you were getting the skid steer! Those onan engines are awesome! Looks like you need to get hauling brother, lot of good stuff there! The hydraulic/electric punch is kickass! Do a lot hole without drilling brother!
That Palfinger is a typical crane for loading timber.
Just sitting in the rain, please save some of this equipment if not all of the to sale as is! The diesel welder is cool
All the things, rescue all the things =)
Outstanding video.
Ich beneide dich um die vielen Dinge die hier herumstehen, da hätte ich eine lebensaufgabe gefunden , alles wieder zum Laufen zu bringen....
LG.Herbst aus Österreich
I wish I could just take all of this stuff home 🏠
I would try to start the caterpillar, lorry and the dozer as well and the trailer nice 👍👌
This is also a passion of mine on a smaller scale. I know I said wow or oh crap as many times as you. Clean the tools as you do the vises etc, sharpen and use them. You should buy all the vises you saw, and a mag. Drill.. w
well done
This is the BEST Maan !!
try to get the Cat 966 and AC HD16 dozer running. Lot of machine shop equipment and cutters, amazing.
So the big round cutters look to be gear Hobbs. They can be resharpened and used again if they have some form left
You need a cherry picker and a 18 wheeler brother! It will deteriorate if you let it sit much longer! It’s already been deteriorating but you could save them and if not for parts!
Hyena scrappers are drooling. I hope he give that stuff a chance to live on.
Many of those mill cutters and the other tooling were probably carefully arranged for use on decent [looking] wooden shelves that have largely 'returned to nature' already.
Sorry if I missed it, but I am interested in the story behind the yard's development. How did all these cars get collected? And over how long a span of years? It is certainly a cool lot and it would be great for somebody to engage in a lifetime of restorations or even just actively parting vehicles out but, apart from that, it is sad see if they are going to just sit there and rot.
Their all worth saveing and restoring and being made serviceable all mill bit and cutters and drills even the stone n concrete bits can be saved
Please, so many of us blew out our ears scrapping and hammering that we need CC subtitles!
You can turn on sub titles yourself in UA-cam.
@@10947792 From what I see they need to be enabled by the poster
volume control
You really need to get a dry ice blaster to clean all those rusty tools and drill bits.
Imagine all this stuff when it was brand new
Oh boy. I see another series with the wheel loader in the future huh.
Aught to have a youtubers weekend where people like Musti, vicegrip Garage, Handtool Rescue or others that do restorations can come pick new projects and help clean the place up.
someone should tell abom79 about the cutters and drills going rusty he would have some of that for sure
some see scrap metal, and others see opportunities.
The 966 Mike would need for that site 👍
That is a awesome place. I have never seen one location with such an assortment of inventory. It would of been nice to of got to the shop equipment about thirty years ago.
Yes save it all if you can't I can im retired so I love doing things like that
Every shop machine and heavy equipment should be restored to full operational status where possible. It is the loss of these tools that has helped make us a disposable society.
For many folks life is too short or the mind is let down by the body, to accomplish the dreams of what could be-preserving the past. This represents an era when quality machines and tools were the norm. It is shame that steel rusts/decays with time and exposure to the elements. I agree there needs to be a way of saving/restoring what can be saved in a time capsule. The cheap plastic rubbish that we have to buy today in the throw away society, I find difficult to come to terms with. From Tasmania down under-save what you can.
Wow that shop and them old machinery are amazing as is all those drill bits and cutter, its all amazing I would move 90% into a shed with a roof, over time renovate them all, you would be surprised how much money is there, those 3 vises would be close to a few hundred each, large drill bits are worth a fortune and those milling cutters again another fortune, otherwise clean it all up and have a internet auction, you will be surprised at how much you will make, made my day, unfortunately i live in Australia otherwise i would of volunteered my time to save it all ,
g,day l think the yollow low loader trailer is about 1950/60 style ,old red would look so great on that cheers
the manly jack n the winch can go right back ware i came from Tulsa Oklahoma to go on the you tube boat build !!!! the S V SEEKER!!!!!
I just spied an old IHC box truck. I want it!
This stuff is cool, thanks so much for taking us along. I would think the hydraulic press wouldn’t take much just a good cleaning and replace to seals. I know if you could you’d take ever piece home. It’s just so cool to see these old machines but at the same time it’s sad to see them in this state.
That saw stopped in mid-cut suggests that after a long history of failing to pay the electric bill the power company lost patience and literally pulled the plug.
Yeah I am afraid I would like to take it all home to although I don't think my wife would like that
A lot of scrap and stuff indeed ,but pay hell to get it out .
I am in South Africa and if you had to leave that yard like that it would have been picked clean in a week from all the scrap hunters we have. I am really interested to know how he is cleaning it that yard. Is he recycling it all?
👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed!
It's a Palfinger, made here in Austria! I wonder how that one got there.
The lathes and milling machines tooling included should be saved. I would grab the brake drum lathe as with everything going to disc brakes they will get scarce. Allis Chalmers HD16 great machine for medium size dozer. I think the second low bed trailer might be the best one as it is a "Beaver Tail" and they both need new wood. Once this stuff is scrapped it's gone forever. The Caterpillar cylinder rebuilding machine is a keeper. Some cylinder rebuilding outfit would kill for it. Or it could be the beginning of your new business. Don't leave out the 966 loader 'cause you might have the trailer to haul it.
That land is so contaminated. There was a junkyard a guy bought in Holbrook MA that all the soil 5 ft down was sent to NJ to be burned and sent back.
This is like watching a real like Fall out 4 game play lol
on the john deer clean the hydraulic filter to the transmission
Love your vids man, especially your mindset. There is enough machinery there for you to rescue (hope you are allowed to) to keep restoration vids going for a long time. Keep up the good work.
Circuit board on those skidtseers go bad have to replace it
I bet fix some they probably still work nicely.
Crossbow in that little hut at 30:00
Great video, but depressing too. I think you should do a couple of Will it Start videos from here. I'm a salvager as well, but I don't have a shop to work in right now. #SaveTheCub
It is an awesome find! Too bad that foreign interests would love this stuff.
there is about a million things there I want. Not kidding.....
RRR -- Reuse, Recycle, & Rescue! Mark off areas & "Lots" and have weekend sales by 'lot'. Anything that does not sell mark for the scrap heap. AND scrap it --- NOT trash it. 99% of all the metal parts are recyclable. ASK local farmers 'how' to re-use the equipment AND/OR if they would like to 'adopt' it. I bet they will & can put it to use in different ways you have not thought of.
Random question. What pants are you wearing at 12:00? They look durable af.
Rescue the loader next
