The Simplex bike is a real diamond in the rough.
Silas i loved the whole video,never a dull moment in a scrap yard. Keep up the good job. We are patiently are waiting for our next video.
I wonder if OJ was hiding in that Bronco. Let's hope so 😄
LoL he probably threw his best friend in to get away with it.
Just a few days ago you were dressed like a character from Nanook of the North, but now you’re in short sleeves working up a sweat!
PS1- Liked the use of rack to balance the car bundles as you maneuvered them into the trailer for shipping.
And now today it was cold and covered in snow again 😆
Hey, l loved that Simplex... l had a 1957 when l was in High school... my cousin had a Cushman Eagle and we would terrorize the county roads in West MI in the early '60's...
Always glad when something goes to a new home.
Silas... Please ,please get some eye protection, they are cheap enough. Lost a ear and eye in service,youll never be the same without them . Your lovely family deserve this simple precaution. Old enough to be your Dad ,who would most grateful I'm sure if his son remained healthy. Other than my little moan here,love your consent of articles. Every. Best regards ...Pat inWales U.K
The cool reality of you crushing the ‘cool older’ cars…. Is tgat you are making all of the better ones in existence more valuable. Love the crushing for profits.
Great find! Those Servi-Cylcles are rare, NO doubt you'll find a buyer eventually. I had one in almost same condition. It did take a while to sell, but that was 30 years ago, pre-net era. Small but dedicated following for them. If I can find the guys number, I'll refer him to you!
I have always preferred to just scrap everything because it's just so much easier to sell. People never do what they say and most want something for nothing anyway.
I save a few things to sell as they are but I just hate dealing with people and all their drama. Just crush it.
Though many parts are missing, the Simplex is a good start for a restoration. Back in the 1990's I had one of the same design but complete and unrestored. Under civilian paint, I discovered US Air Force markings. I wonder if the seller has more parts such as the engine and fenders somewhere.
Wayne down South has all the parts to restore a Simplex.
love your subtle hatred for us humans! 😂
Tire kickers, promise makers… etc.
I can relate.
😆
I can sit for hours watching people work, that C-4 bellhousing, Ill bet when i had the car lot, I had 100 of those, now, they are buried under a Arbys
Awesome video Silas love the crush aspect. and you are running a business of making money you know what sells and what to crush people who talk crap should mind there own business . that old bike was cool . and the weather today changes so quick have a great day thanks again for sharing
I appreciate you’re language! Very respectful! Thanks for caring for our ears and minds!
I had to turn away when you crushed the broncos....what a shame!
That simplex bike is seriously cool and would be a great project for someone even if they have to put a modern engine in it, I love the look of it, are you going to keep it or sell it Silas?. I'm watching from Wales UK 🏴👍
I own two of them. Bringing them both back to life this year. Lucky guy to find that.
@@michaelhasuga3328 that's great, your a lucky guy yourself to have the two that you have and I wish you good luck with the restos, thanks for your reply 👍.
Simplex bike ,that bike is worth more then all of the other things in your yard if you find the engine, nice, thanks BigAl California.
Cool video just love watching you do your work. Keep up the good work.
If u want a good man. I will come work for you. Free
Great as always Silas. The Simplex servi-cycle is a cool find. Thanks
Really like the crushing part of your videos. That crusher will deliver the mail!! lol
Cool video, as always !!!! Keep it up
Love the ole simplex service bike. That's just cool
Great video Salis thank you for sharing and your time was really great 👍 loved it the bike was great.
The old simplex is way kool silas
You are one busy fella mate great content as allways 🤘
Favorite part of the video is seeing the old trucks. Hard to know they will be cut up but that is way better then saving nothing. Those noses are cool wall hangers. They live on.
That servi cycle is so neat. I think you could sell it in a heartbeat. Another epic vid, thanks Silas, now watching from Thailand. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
SBF C-4 bellhousings are hard to find. They are bring about $200 on eBay with $54. for shipping. The casting numbers to be on the look out for is C5ZP as the first four. (The C is decade C=60's D=70's. The 5 is the Year. The Z = Mustang, E= Truck. and the P= Transmission) I am a Mustang buff. So the Ford Casting numbers I know by heart.
I enjoy the car crushing and this one was great. Sometimes cars and trucks get crushed because well you can't save them all. After all it's a business first then a treasure chest. That Simplex bike is a great restoration for someone. Even like it is. This one was a good video. Variety makes for a video. Thanks.
Youve got to love this warm weather.
Great video very interesting but my favourite part was how you loaded the cars into the truck pretty cool bud
The crushers appetite is insatiable!! Can't beat a good ole crushing video silas 😀👌
excellent video,liked all of it !
Okay, you have one of the coolest jobs .
Great Simplex score!✊😁
My favorite part is you crushing all of Those Fords
Great video silas, keep'um coming..
Lovely content mate😁😁
you can not wait forever in a junk yard!
Found an adventure, yesirree, I did! Waist deep snow up here in Saskatchewan and I had to shovel out my 4X4. Would have much rather found that cool Servi-Cycle.
It was windy and cold today. We have our rv up there. I don't know that it will be a good show. But we are there.
Evening Silas!! Looks like the steering box, column & pedals are still in that Ford F1, when you get time, I will send you the $$$$. I truly hope someone buys those old Internationals(1939), I'd really hate to see those cut up...Be safe!! God Bless!!
You come across the coolest stuff.
great bike mate and a good days work
Well at least you didn't have to chase the white Bronco down the interstate for a couple of hours before you got to stuff it in the crusher.. sorry I couldn't resist the bad joke. 🙂
You should get ahold of Danielle with those picker guys on tv, they love bikes and all old stuff
Unfortunately they don’t want to talk to me since I have a CZcams channel
Had a Bronco II years ago and that thing would climb a mountain ⛰
That’s how my Jeep is. It will idle up a steep sandy hill in 4 low. Only reason I keep it is for those days that I have to go off road
I would have liked to have that white full-size Ford Bronco, body looked in good rust free condition. 89-90 Bronco 2 was also a decent rust free body, don't see many of them anymore! Like you said you can't keep them all! Glad someone got that old tractor, looked like it was in pretty good condition! Take care.
Mike Wolfe of American Pickers would buy that cycle, ty 4 taking us along Silas
Nice to see you clean up your yard, cutting up those old trucks will make some more room see you on the next one ☝️
Great keep them coming hi from Australia
I think that bike has a auxiliary wheel and motor combination I believe, lol nice thanks BigAl California
For me, this is the best video. I love all the crushing and loading of cars. One question, I counted eight cars being loaded.
I believe the post office used those motorbikes for rural mail routes.
love these videos!
That was great, I needed me some crush therapy...👍
Unbelievable as to what people throw away. That simplex is awesome.
That car is a 79 LTD laundry and there's plastic marker lights that are on the roof are worth tons of money
Thanks for sharing another video
Never a dull moment ,get home and pass out the minute you sit down ,LOL
Mike at American Pickers loves old bikes.
Get it while the getting is good!
Love the vids, here in the UK.
Looks like a drum brake on that Simplex rear. Had drums front and back on a HUMBER bike I had in the fifties. Keep on crushin........
Always need stuff !!!
And you can't save it all 🌎🌞😊👍👍👍
Great bones on that Simplex!
I would have liked that white Bronco if I knew it was for sale. Maybe list some cars in the description with some prices or just include in the videos beforehand. That’s how I ended up buying that 1960 Chrysler from you. I also liked the wheels on the 1980 LTD.
You smashed o.j Simpsons get away truck !!
Would be to see a video of u taking the fire truck tanker to the scrap yard love all your videos
Hi Silas, I noticed when your crushing vehicles that alot of them still have tires on. When I haul scrap to the yard, usually old farm equipment I always have to take the tires back home. I'm in Minnesota and maybe they have different rules up here? Very interesting content. I especially enjoy your farm cleanups.
That was cool
I got the tractor home and got it started and drove it off the trailer thanks for the tractor 🚜
5:00 I would have grabbed the cymbal out of there and checked the brand. They're generally made of various bronze alloys between 80-92% copper, the rest tin, some brands adding more than a token amount of silver or even gold. If not damaged, some brands/models are expensive and prized. In any case, surprised to see you not notice bronze in a car.
Great job as always buddy, I was just wondering if your crusher was remote controlled from the cab of your loader or is someone else operating it from the unit. Keep up the great videos and have a great day.
That bike is very cool. And it was a bad day for ford Broncos...
And it looks like someone bought the rims off of that white Ranger. Have a great week.
No, I pulled them for aluminum. The ranger will be getting the squeeze soon
I mite have to miss that video ..lol
After World War Two Simplex , Whizzer and other Bicycle Companies build Motorized Bicycles for Vet's when they came home cause there was few American cars cause yes scrapping for the war depleted vehicles for Rubber and Steel if that helps!
hi mate it time to make $$$ now hope you get lots done with crushing and keep up the good work all the best to you and family
That. Bike was awesome restore it
I wish more people would fix this old stuff instead of buying noses to hang on the wall. It's a crime that they have survived all those years just to get hacked
She may have been belt driven bike.
Could be a nice find to the right enthusiast
If you ever get anymore 50’s IH R seres I’ll need some parts
That weird stuff that people have I have it too I think. Adhd... truthfully I like the whole video, great entro and altro ... all of it. Its the part of me screaming at the screen, No 'Silas I yell in my head, even though the millions made and the ten more at the next farm only a few miles down the road. You own the stuff and I might just a done the same, had our rolls switched places. Even the weather reports are cool, I like knowing about other peoples whereabouts. Its twelve degrees here, lots of ice from our last four to more inch dusting just a few days ago. People here go to our hot springs and really soak the healing water in. I really do not understand this one thing. I have worked with old stuff most of my life and you say the reason that you don't trust a camera thats going on two years old???? You see anything within five years is uptown good to go cause I just never see it for real. I never seen a tv till I was about thirteen and it was not at a home but a bar ... Just want you to know I hold no grief with you. If you have to buy a new camera every few months, then I think I would just do podcasts and throw a picture or two up like they did in the army training videos .... Just wonder what old is to you, mind you no offence as I sure ain't meaning it that way. I would be a arkalogical person though/LOL. Have a great day Buddy!
Shame to see those Broncos get crushed with the prices they bring restored...
In a previous video you mentioned that some people compared you to American pickers. There are similarities but not the same. However, with what your into with your business and what there into as far as old antiques and all that ,I think it would not be a bad idea to reach out to them and see if guys can do some business together and yes I know your busy but it's a thought.
They’re not interested in seeing me because I sell stuff. They only film places where the stuff “isn’t for sale”
that old motorcycle very cool, you can make eletric one with 400-500 dollar i guess and make alive again!clever that way to load the big truck, the spring is right the corner you make a big clean?
I don't know anything about motorcycle's or bikes but that 1 is very interesting. Watching to see what you do with it.
Out of 100% curiosity with the nountain of wheel's and tires why don't you put a few of the steel wheel old tires in the cars you crush especially the ones you keep the aluminum wheels off ? 100% curious
Do you have any 41 -47 dodge pickups I think 1 &1/2 ton are same I need a drivers door for the truck that I'm building its my log in picture that's in red primer Thanks and keep the video's coming
Man it was a bad day to be a Ford truck lol.
I'm just watching this video Silas you have a lot of knowledge about catiletic converters my Tahoe has 1 that came off of a ford F250 any idea what it would go for??
I would to see you crush a. Few old rides into a cube lol
The bike was cool.
There is a video with a servi-cycle on You Tube. It is a belt drive. Made in Louisiana.
Anyone else here binge watching Silas ???
Hot one day, Snow/ice the next! Hope you was able to get some work done before that weather moved in. Glad you got to sell some noses. Folks complain about you cutting and crushing but they don't realize how expensive it is hanging onto that stuff before someone maybe wants it. Sorry you got gas and oil all over you. That's not fun and the wife won't be happy either! I don't know how you'd safely clean those clothes 🤦♀️. Stay warm, stay safe and GOD bless
Did you look through the old ford for the rest of the simplex parts?
Dear Mr. Silas.
👍👌👏 Great finds! Congrats! Maybe you can sell the gorgeous Simplex bike to the famous utuber Mustie1. He loves and builds old style bikes. I'm pretty sure, that he has an engine that fits. Unfortunately I don't have his email address, but I'm sure, that you can find it. Thanks in advance for trying.
2) The weather is really crazy these days. Burning hot sun during the day and freezing cold during nights and mornings.
Best regards, luck and health to all of you.
As a guy slowly building a vintage junkyard, I love watching your channel but sometimes I cringe on some you crush. Lol.
Could you show that TT tall cab truck, it's way cool.
You just crushed O.J'S bronco
The old trucks and the old mopars
