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...
Great videos. I am a retired heavy truck mechanic. That cut away at your former school is really cool. I scrap metal and junk cars now and then in Mesa Az as a hobby but to do it full time and have a crusher to run and a loader to load stuff with and rip stuff apart. Does not get any better than that except maybe getting to work with your dad. That would be awesome. My dad who was a WW-2 Army Major was severely injured during the war and eventually paralyzed from the neck down as a result. He died at age 58 when I was 19 in 1975. I miss him every day. I tell people all the time your folks won't be around forever. Appreciate them while you can. Keep up the good work.
Another great video, Silas. Thanks for taking us along and showing us your day. Save the classics, crush the plastics. LOLOL
Very handy with the forks, enjoy watching the processing of salvage and realizing you can not save everything. Like that you save the stuff from the 60s back for other projects and the new stuff is replaceable every day un till they to become classics. Great video.
That can is fuel for gas powered models. Mostly for air planes, but they do make boats and cars also.
I had an airplane and a 3 wheeled chopper motorcycle. COX made them.
Wen-Mac was Cox's competitor in the model airplane market - that fuel can (nitromethane and castor oil ) is an extreme rarity !!
Hello Silas The Radiator support on that ford Truck was Built by a company in Warren Mich I work on that line from 1989 -94 and then work in or ran the shipping dept from 94-97 and was with the company until the end of 1999. brings back a lot of good memory's. so Thank You
If there ever was an award for best/tow motor, fork lift/ skid steer operator, I would nominate you.
Great video! Much respect!
Great video, Silas. You are certainly getting it done. Never a dull moment I’m sure.
I really love that small school bus.
That's to bad that back side glass on that blazer that just came in I need pass side bad can't find one wish I could for sure get that can't believe I happened to see one in this video dam! But keep up the great videos!
Looks like you will never be short of work! There was one of those cutaway engines in my school, it was a 4 cyl flathead, many people were dared to put their fingers in the cylinder and then someone would turn the engine!
HI SILAS- WOW what a find that can is great ! It looks like a pt-47 but I forgot the other plane its about1940s plane .WELL on to watching the rest of your video. Again great find.
Those planes on the can were a f4u Corsair, a P38 Lightning, a P47 Thunderbolt and I'm not sure what the 4th plane was because of the rust. That definitely is a collectors' item.
Thanks for another great video.
Love watching a fellow scraper. Ur operation is much bigger then mine Lol.
You remind me so much of my husband. He would bring home scrap from the rigs back in the 80's. He used to trap, but peta pretty much put a stop to that. Anyway, I was waiting to see "The Claw". It has a pretty cool design on it. At least I thought it did. Have a great weekend, but I know you will probably be busy.
Like watching you crush cars trucks is fun thanks for your vlogs always
Keep up the great 👍🏻 videos! At the ranch!
enjoyed the video. Time is money so yes, you can only save the more valuable stuff.
Those Dodge trucks are really starting to gain recognition. My dream truck is a 1st gen Cummins, extended cab, 4x4
Great video...keep'em coming love the content!!!
I know it's hard sometimes crushing stuff and throwing it away back in 2008-9 old old cars old trucks Old Farm Equipment combines in like you and big trucks it was an experience we use to assault metal cutting saw and torches to cut stuff and a skid steer loader to load most of the we didn't have a big loader like you got but we did okay doing that we were able to survive good luck I enjoy watching your show don't worry about what somebody tell you you should have saved just do what you think is right continue the good work thumbs up
That skidloader makes a car to appear it's made of aluminum foil. What fun!
👍👍👍
Recycling is saving people . Great video
What a fun job😀
I love cleaning radiators and ac units they sometimes bring in more than cars & trucks
I really like your common sense attitude...if you can't make money off it...scrap it!
Good luck on U-Tube, and thanks for talking to us about what REALLY happens in the yard on a daily basis.
that can of fuel is for model airplains used it in the 70s.
Ya done some good work in placing tires in
Car people call your place, Auto Ranches, Auto Farms. I never use the words junk or scrap. I think your son would have enjoyed the day with you; with all the equipment! Wow.
If it wasn’t so hot I’d bring him.
Beautiful can hard one to find too keep it
I like watching your vids so interesting plus i love junk....p.s. hello from Australia.
Get an old army tank or large excavator to roll over cars & trucks to crush em 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
You are pretty dang talented!...enjoyed it...kelly from Texas
The can is for the planes that flew with two string and around you would go
Enjoyed the video. I was wondering how you might process the vehicles in your yard but you showed us what is valuable to strip off and what could be left for the shredder. I've known one or two guys who will take junk vehicles to the local scrapyard but they first started out not checking everything as to what was salvageable. They kinda laughed about the radiators and converters that they forgot to remove before scrapping a car or truck. Must have cost a pretty penny in money they could have had until they smartened up.
Glow plug fuel is for model airplane engines.
Like watching you crush cars trucks is fun thanks
Hey No scuffing the vehicles!!!
That was cool
That's what we want to hear crush, shred we don't care😊😁😎
Thnx!
I save a couple wiring harnesses every now and again bc that saves me from having to go to the store and buy a roll of wire, Why buy it when I can cut it out of a cars wiring harness and use that for Free LoL
I dont save alot of little stuff . I go for the aluminum heads big copper .
"by myself"......ahh, I know that sentiment all too well.
Start early...heats on its way oklahoma..good job.
Nooooo...Don't do that with the pick ups...hahaha. Here in Brazil this is gold.
I’ll watch it. Thanks.
Wow 🤩 😎
Glow plug engine fuel for model airplanes.
Silas, a couple of questions: do you have to drain fluids from cars before crushing them; do you look under the seats, in glove boxes, in the trunks, etc. before disposing of them?
I drain the gasoline out of them. I don’t always check under the seats, but sometimes I do. In fact my next vlog comes out Sunday evening where I do just that!
Hello Silas I was wondering if you might be able to help me locate a Dana 44 front axle for a '68 ford f250 4x4 its a closed knuckle axle it could be just the housing my truck was being worked on when he met his demise on a so called friend I appreciate all the help and vlogs you have been doing save the classics and scrap the rest
I worked in a bakery in Springfield MA that had a mixer just like that.
Go for the cream!!!
Those tractor tires if rubber is not dry rotted are worth good money sometimes 200 bucks.
Great work it's a shame the school didn't want to keep the engine n gearbox They should be teaching then how to fix n repair them engines ass well as the modern ones
Like a surgeon with those forks
Lol when he crushed the small blue car it looked like a lambo
You have a good business..
0:50 Think it's made for model airplane engines. Smells just like oriental wok oil when it heats up. 8:00 A camera mounted on the forks would make for such a skilled surgical removal.
The loader needs a backup alarm delete lol
i need parts for a 08 ford taurus and everything off the front of a old chevy engine and my old school had one of those i learned on
You have a hard time doing everything yourself I used to work at a salvage yard in Lexington Kentucky we had a crusher called nutcracker
the trouble is these days its cheaper to chuck a car away and buy a new one
Lay the forks flat that will flatin the tops easer
I quit buying cars til the price is steady. I've been there one day the price $20.00 a,ton the next day its 10 cents a ton .
keep the old cars and trucks that you can fix and sell
After any one sees that old. Junk ever day. Its you dont pay that much attention to it
what would you charge for an old working 1990 f150 automatic column shift steering column, tilt or not, with the key?
What our you going to do with early IH 1/2 ton trucks?
Im you already lifting the vehicles for converters, why not just a quick cut on the starter and pull the cable
I just subcribed to your channel and I love what you do if you Are ever interested in selling some of them older cars I would definitely be interested in buying few off you for my shop
I could use some olds Alero coupe parts if ya have any..
Nice case loader, how big is your scrap yard in acres? Are ye farmers?
We have multiple yards ranging from 3 acres to 30 acres
The first thing I would do is disconnect that blasted back up beeper!
You’d be shocked how many people park or walk right behind me even with the beeper. If I disconnect it, that’s a lawsuit waiting to happen lol
Hey dude do you know of a 1957 Autocar tractor unit or cad?? Diesel creek over in Pittsburg is looking for one or parts?? 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
I understand that you can't save all the copper it's not that much anyhow so keep doing what you're doing
What do you do with the gas from the vehicles? Can you use it?
Do you sell all the batteries you take out of cars or do they get recycled?
Any of your old cars or trucks forsale? where you located?
What does it cost to run a big loader like that? I know to have a truck come out and grease and check the fluids is far more than people would imagine. Do people buy them on 3 year or 6 year loans?
We have 4 loaders. A 91, a 98, an 04, and a 12. It costs us about $500 a day to operate
How do you drain the fluids (gas, oil, antifreeze) out of the scrap vehicles? Do you buy them already drained? Also if cars/trucks have aluminum rims you pull them off and sell separately? Lastly how much do you buy the cars for and how much do you sell them for? I've always wondered how much a scrap yard really makes on scrap? When I sell copper for example to a scrap yard they give my around $4.00 a pound for number one. How much does a scrap yard sell that copper for per pound? I enjoy your videos.
I drain them into totes. I usually pull aluminum wheels. We pay anywhere from $100 to $1,000 for cars just depending on what it is, and our profit ranges from $50 to $500 usually. I don’t deal in copper or brass, so I can’t comment on that specifically.
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch Thank You for your reply. I hope your UA-cam channel continues to grow. Take Care.
Hey man were u at
Where are these lots, of cars coming from or just people dropping them off, are any of them salvable or people come in and take parts off of them before you scrap them.
We don’t sell parts. In this area used parts aren’t worth much. All of the salvage yards went bankrupt and the scrap yards are doing good.
Wow! Thanks for that info, I didn't know that salvage yards went out of business. Even though I had not been to one in years like back in day, Keep up the great videos.
Do you have something that runs?
Do you sell any older vehicles
What are you asking for red freightliner
if you come across a 2014 GMC sierra 1500 front right fender please let me know I will make shipping arrangements thank you
If I lived in Kansas I would work for you for nothing for something to do I'm retried and would like working in junkyard
Truck GMC Sierra
Why are catalytic converters worth anything? what makes them valuable?
Platinum and Palladium mainly
the wire is not worth the time to pull for shure!
i get it ur hideing the evendince
Like a great predator, tearing the guts out of its prey.
👍🇨🇦
I want to work for you
I wonder what the average age of a car is when it gets to you.
Anyone with ten living brain cells should know by now that if it’s food, transportation, health and medical, insurance, energy or anything else you “need” the possibility of any personal repair or control is gone. Welcome to the new reality. PS, Ford has stopped building cars. Hint. Henry is not rolling over, he is spinning in his grave. What ever happened to the men that wanted to make life better “for all”. Grow yourself a vegetable garden. That’s about all that’s left except an old Dodge.
I hope you cut all the catalytic converters off the cars, aluminium rims and batterys
Why "can't" you hire people?
Massive labor shortage. Everyone is hiring right now, but there are no people who want to work. All the companies I deal with are short staffed as well.
don't crush the jeep wagoner please
If you would give me a fare wage
Pleas dont Crash des Cars
