RARE Antique Engine Crane Buried DEEP & Vintage Walker Car Lift!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Our second stop on our latest New England brings us back to an estate we visited a month ago. On top of some great Early Ford parts, this estate has a Walker Lift just the one Matt got in Detroit. The plan is to save the lift, as many Early Ford parts as we can fit in the trailer, and an amazing vintage engine lift buried deep in the woods. Let's get to work!!!

Tough part of passing on is leaving a life's worth of collecting behind, all the stories and memories
Yep, a library closes forever & a museum gets scattered & junked. I'm sharing my years of hot rodding & racing knowledge with as many as I can since I have a lot more miles behind me than there are to come.
That is why it is so important to see the next generation save it rather than see it go to scrap.
Salute to this family and others that take the time to find people like Matt and his crew to come in and save this stuff. I'm sure there are just as many horror stories about things that have been scrapped over the years because the heirs did'nt have the time or the desire to go through it and sell it.
Looking forward to the restoration on the crane
I grew up in the late 60’s & 70’s an old timer friend of my dads had an engine lift like that and refused to buy the type that we have now.sadly when he died his daughter had everything except hand tools scrapped.
Diresta rebuilt a similar crane about a year ago.
The two old cars either side of the lift looked like the most interesting things there. Mike needs a bonus for what he (literally) went through to get that gearbox.
Mike is probably the most important element of the trip. He knows parts. Great vid. Thanks
Mike is totally underrated. Without Mike Matt is just another guy who recognizes a lot of stuff but guesses at that much more.
The Engine hoist looks to be the same as the English Stauffer crane of the early 1940's. ,either one was possibly made under license .The Stauffer cranes adverts said "so easy , a girl can use it"... 😁😁
At 71 years old I love seeing your generation saving these old pieces of equipment from scrap. That lift or motor hoist could end up in a museum in a generation or so when repairing a car could be a thing of the past.
One of the things I love about you guys is how you love all old car related things.
Super cool engine hoist!
I just said to one of my picking buddies,” Someone will be digging through our $hit when we kick the bucket too” And the beat goes on!
What a stash! You guys are iron gods. Thanks for sharing the find with us mere mortals.
😂😂😂right!
Thank you Matt , Mike and crew for the adventure and seeing some nice finds !
How truly fantastic! Geez a place like that you could pick for days on end, and still miss treasure. Matt you do a fantastic job of preserving all these historic treasures. Kudos to you and your team!
The hoist you found outdoors is very cool, nice save! Whoever put it outback had to drink all those beers you found to make their back feel better!
You work really hard to free up these cool treasures. You deserve all the fun you get out of them.
So awesome to see that somebody still cares enough to save these pieces of automotive history!!
You need to go there one more time. So much everything.
Morning Matt & Crew!! I can feel the excitement as y'all go on these adventures! Where I grew up in Michigan there was a huge number of Farms, these Farms always had junk piles or on the fence row, I'm 65 & still have some of the stuff I drug home, seem's like Mike is becoming well versed on the old Ford parts!.. y'all be safe!
Ty for saving old iron guys
Mike sure knows his parts!!
Brought back so many memories when he drug out that manifold with three Stromberg 97's. I had one pretty much like that on a 52 Ford Flathead back in the day. That setup was a least one carb too many for the motor, but it looked cool as hell. Looking at those fuel blocks reminded me that they would never quit seeping gas because there wasn't enough material to get a good seal. That was back when you could still prowl around wrecking yards and find Stromberg 48's and 97's on cars. Must have been the good ole days?
Thanks for saving, and passing on, all that neat old stuff! When it's gone, it's gone forever!
I love these picks. If I lived closer I would volunteer to help with them. So cool!
The shop, with piles of stuff everywhere, reminded me of my buddy's place. Just little trails through the piles. RIP, Jeffey
Matt, you should definitely lineup the two convertibles, side by side!
I love these videos. I wish I could be there.
Every excursion you guys take you score really cool stuff in out of the way places. Maybe one day you'll hit the holy grail of the legendary Dusenburg engine still in the crate. Hey, it can happen. Thanks for posting this terrific adventure video.
Another treasure trove of amazing parts.
That bendy breather tube is sweet im surprised you didnt grab it
Amazing finds.
Wow ! Very cool finds, ever find any old work clothes or denim ? That stuff is gold too.
Nice haul gang! Bet it was hard to walk away from those three cars by the lift. The convertible was a head turner.
I love how you go after it. You sniff out the parts and you hunt them down crawling through a hole into the attic passing it out through a small window whatever it takes.!
Poor Mike 😂😂
Most people don't want bothered going thru a car collection...they just scrap what they don't sell...you guys try to save as much as you can!
Holy crow, the work you guys put in for these old things....
Awesome score on all that stuff,Matt …
New name Iron Trap Archology (we rescue any car part circa 1950 and earlier) we dig all items, anywhere, anytime, anyplace.
Neat vintage (looks like a 1963 Cub Cadet) awaiting rescue.
That cub cadet original is worth grabbing. Those cubs are great tractors, especially if it has the creeper gear.
I'll be very interested to see how that engine hoist works.
Matt, you lucky dog! I have lusted after and looked for one of those engine hoists like that for years to no avail. Missed one on CL about 10 years ago and have never seen one since for sale or otherwise. I would love to find one out in the wild like that! That place was loaded!
`Love these field picks ,One man's Junk ,is another man's treasure applies ,you just have to know what your picking
You own it keep it for rebuild in the future
You find the coolest stuff, Matt! I didn't see anything in those buildings, I didn't love! Is that a 38, 39 Cadillac sedan , in there, also???
49 caddy
Good picking boys
TWO GREAT CARS BEHIND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’r lucky you found Mike!
Love the adventures
I cant imagine all the good times that were had in that shop
Matt you are the man! You & your guys always find the good stuff.
You need some come alongs to help pull stuff out like that engine crane !
Holly cow that's quite a endeavor and another car and a cool cadlac motor and transmission parts galore ❤😂🎉
Some great finds there it’s wonderful
Again, you are so lucky. You 2 make a great pair. You have to keep coming back so they know not to call the scrappers !
That Cub Cadet Original at the beginning was sweet
Those massive short reach cranes (shop cranes) were commonly used in factories and machine shops, for installing lathe chucks, moving heavy parts on and off machines, etc. Reach is too short for much engine work. The steering rear wheelset is missing, might still be buried where you found the crane.
Thanks for another , Brother !
I see that you guys found some gold in those there sheads
I think you guys hit the jackpot with that sale see you soon 👌✌👍
Sure Glad you saved all of that from a future in a Scrap Yard, Nice Haul !
A second amazing lift...WOW.
I have to suggest safety shoes for you guys. It is so easy to put a nail through your foot in junk piles like that! You could do a.quick shoring up of saggy roofs, too. There was plenty of lumber in that shed.
One fall through a roof can put you out of commission; maybe forever! Only you can decide if it is worth it!
WOW.....JUST WOW. INSANITY IT IS.
Good video thanks
Im well on my way to leaving a rats nest like that myself, time for some introspection.
At 9 minutes in, was that a tri manifold for a Ford flathead ?
That lift would look good upstairs in the garage
Wow. That is one crazy hoard! I could have spent a weekend just sorting though the smalls in the shop. Trashcan 🗑 Approved!
You guys are mercenarys.,,,,
1934 Ford pickup setting in the woods 🪵 for decades. Fairly complete. A relatively straight line of you before it gets to the Gulf. Are you interested? If so I'll give you the contact information. Just not on a public forum for everybody to read and contact the man.
We’d be interested to learn more about it. Email us at: irontrapgarage@gmail.com
Nice Video. Hope all had a GREAT THANKSGIVING. #STAYSAFE
#PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸
You guys are the real american pickers saving american history one piece at a time and putting in the work yourselves.
Treasures 🥹
Please tell me more about that gray hip-roof tool box you carry in the trunk. I have the same and want info, if you have any. THX
watching Mike mountain goating over the debris to collect the 39 trans without out steel shanked safety shoes made me cringe
love save of the lift & hoist
You are going back aren't you? Great video!
IS THERE A HOISTING BEAM RIGHT ABOVE THE ATTIC WINDOW THAT YOU ARE TAKING PARTS OUT OF??????
should've brought a sheet of plywood to lay on roof
man, i what i wouldn't do for one of those cars.
A Life Time of Hoarding Automotive Parts! It will all sell for 10 cents on the dollar!
Those cranes are highly sought after and go for like 2 grand.
Not in this condition! But yes when working/restored they can be quite valuable. Well save this one.
Auto archeology.
I take Worthington tractor
I SAW THAT ALSO I HAVE ONE LOL
@@esteysgarage3949 nice I have one too
Tetanus Shots for everyone 😬
MUCH TRAVELING GOING ON OF LATE.
You’re killing can collectors
Passing on isnt tough because you no longer care about all your stuff
Hey Mike, wear safety shoes please.
We love Matt and crew ,.but if anyone can exploit the dull , boring,drag out time it takes to uncover ‘ move crap off old cars or parts of derbies , it’s Matt. I fast forwards his content more the anyone’s .
Enough BS go build an mk1
the edits are 🔥
