I can't tell you how many times I helped Henry unload and load that bus at various swap meets! It was packed to the ceiling with parts. Henry was a master packer! I will always miss him. D. Whitney
Oh is that this guy's name ? Never knew his name is Henry until now
All of us on CZcams that are watching your videos where all your family so you can be yourself if you got problems then we go through your problems we understand just be yourself
When the grease soaks the outside of the bag you know your lunch is gonna be good. 😋😋
Hi Silas, thanks for taking the time to answer my question about having to flip the top car going into the crusher. Your channel is so entertaining, and for us Detroiters, informative. I've only been watching for a short time but have learned some things about autos that I never knew, especially how much is involved with scraping them. Again thanks.
Story comes full circle
It never fails to hit me, everyone of those vehicles was beautiful and someone's pride and joy, then they go the trash route, rust route, collision route, and have to be recycled. The expense over time floors me, not to mention the shortened service life. As always, I love your vids and sharing how life,works for you. I want to visit the Cosmosphere someday, and in the process see your junk yard! Another Hutchinson attraction.
It's interesting to go back and watch one of your older episodes. Oh they're good but you've gotten better with time.
The funniest part was when the claw picked the cars up and broke through the windshield and windows. Love it!
That company should have an industrial magnet sweeper or pick-up tool that goes on a skid steer or is even dragged across their yard where customers drive ! For cryin out loud, you cant be the only one getting flat tires in there all the time. Its no wonder you were in a foul mood !
The positivity is great. Me and the Mrs love lookin" for adventures in our advanced years!! Thank You
The nose on the 61 bus would make Great Wall art.
Wow, junkyard history lesson !
The circle of junk (apologies to Disney)
PS1- appreciate your video series.
PS2 - our local historic hamburger stand is the Munch Box (1956), but yours is really historic! Remember the grease will kill you or cure you.
I know what you mean about the wind. I’m here in Iowa and it seems the wind blows all winter long, then on the hot days of summer you can’t get even a breeze! I hate cold wind blowing on me!
I’m a yard jockey and hanging from my front bumper is a strong magnet that’s lifts up all bolts and metal through out the yard. I’m sure the scrap yard has a big magnet for the shredder they should go thru the drive few times aday there
The man who faces no adversity knows not the value of a tranquil moment
Sorry about all the tire trouble , I hate tire problems. Great video, keep up good job. We are patiently waiting for a new adventure. Stay warm, have a good evening with the family.
That bus came full circle
I like the variety of vehicles that you get from the 40s to the present Silas. Many of the vintage vehicles that I've seen were cool as heck.
1963was a Great year... I Was Born in December,,13,,1963 and yes . I was Born on Friday yhe 13th ,1963,,
We need more positive people in this world love your videos
Silas, the old saying is what goes around comes around!
Always enjoy seeing things and places in and around town.
I used to be over a large trucking co. I got tired of trucks having flats every day so i ordered some magnets to put on the front and rear of them after that we never had a problem
Silas your right keep it simple and do not buy a big rig ..
If you bought a big rid ,then you would be subject to truck and trailer inspections , more costly oil changes ,mechanic rates would be more per hour than you pay now if you need repairs at a repair shop by a licensed big rig mechanic
your upgraded drivers license , paperwork paperwork +++
keep it simple and keep the money rolling in minimize your headaches… I have a large farm operation here and I’m successful because I’ve kept things simple and basic
I believe right now you’re driving a 12 valve dodge Cummings to pull the trailer five blocks to the claw that’s a winning combination just keep with what you got,
The grill mesh tacked on to the bottom of the Dodge bus grill appears to have been retrofitted from either a 1963 Studebaker Lark or a 1963 Studebaker Hawk grill.
Circles of life that come together it is really funny how th8ngs turn out
That Buick on the trailer looks pretty good
I started going to the Pate Swap Meet as a teenager in the late 80's. Makes me wonder if that bus was there when I was. Neat story, thank you Silas!
Man! That wind just brings back a ton of memories. Sometimes Uncle Sam getting me off the farm was a blessing!
You know I love that claw.
The best part was watching them pick the stuff off the trailer so cool to watch
Mom & Pop restaurants are always better than the big corporate places!
About time for another “treasure hunt”. 🤠
Have a fantastic day!
Looked like a great burger, greasy spoon burgers are the best
I grew up riding old buses like that to school. It is hard to find a good greasy hamburger these days.
Thanks for keeping the camera running. Love it!
Well with three hinges I'm guessing late 30's Plymouth - Ask Mr. Goodplyers
Homers Drive In in Leavenworth has been open since 1931. Great food. You can actually hear your arteries harden while you eat
That's a really cool story I love old buses there so alsome
That BURGER.... LOOKED AWESOME
It's funny how that bus did a full circle and ended up where it started. It is a small world after all. That made me chuckle and shake my head. It had its Adventure for sure. Ok Silas stay warm and keep them videos coming.
You are good dude. I really enjoy watching your videos and I envy you. You are living my dream. I always wanted to own my own scrap yard. Keep up the great work my man!
That was interesting history on the bus. And man do I know how them flat tires can be often when you are going down there to the claw have had many my self when I hauled stuff for my dad it’s just part of it. But thank you for your positive attitude and keep those videos coming just love watching them.
Silas, I have two questions. 1) I've been wondering a long time why people bring you cars instead of going 5 blocks to the claw? 2) With all the nail problems you've had, why don't you set aside some heavy duty tires you come across when you're taking wheels off, and have a pile you can take from and change out with your trailer tires when they've become too bad? After all, having two tires replaced on wheels is way less that $400. Even at $20 each you could do 10 tire replacements. If you find more rims, you could even have a stack pre-made ready to replace.
They would lose money if they went direct, and I literally never get tires like this.
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch Silas gets 14 ply tires but they are 40 years old when he gets them! Lol
I can relate. It got bad enough at the yard I go to the guy that owned it was paying for the flat repairs. He finally used a big magnet to collect all the bad stuff on the ground. Have not seen a Dodge bus like that before. Interesting. Congrats finding the old bike license. Stuff like that is getting really rare. Until next time my friend. Take care.
Could make a repair or two to the old bus and move it around the yard on occasion to where the parts pile is and load it as needed
Thanks Buddy your the Best!
Hutchinson.... ah, I now had a look from space. Now I understand the location a little bit more. One can even see the loader with a red truck heading to the crusher.
Thanks for your videos ... again, love 'em.
Greetings from old Europe.
Thank you for your positive attitude
That's a really cool bus. Sometimes dem ole tires don't wanna be round, 😬
Thank you for the positive you give out. Love your videos
Good afternoon I've been watching your videos for quite some time and I just wanted to say I really appreciate your attitude especially the one about the bus and the tires incident and I've learned a little lesson from you. Don't let things get you down because you are in control. Positive negative your choice and you have a great day and I will see you in your next video. Virginia Beach Virginia meet you on the beach!
Really enjoyed!!!!
Awesome!!!
Nice one going to watch it now
i love wrecking yards .so much cool stuff. keep the blogs coming, very cool .
Love the Manuremobile, boy that guy had a shitty day didn't he?!!!!!
I really enjoy your posts. You are such a great man and amazing worker. You are always positive - no negative vibes from you.
I want to c that stove in bus installation! That's your new office!
That's a neat old bus. Yup flat tires r a day wrecker.
Watching your show from the UK, it always amazes me how well the older vehicles last in the States. Because we are a small island and no more than 100 miles from the ocean at any point, our cars rust out before they get that old and only ones that are cared well for seem to survive, not in any numbers, not like they seem to in your area, a part of me would like to repair and restore all them cars, but at the same time it is really relaxing watching you crush them !
I'm not sure which State you are even in, but I love the open space that you seem to have around you, you are so lucky.
Remaining positive is the key. My dad would always say to us kids “Be of good cheer”. Good advice for living. 👍
Great vid , keep with the positive, we all get them bad days , thanks for sharing 👍
great find and awesome bike plate that is a score
Kool Bus You have a nice yard one day I would love to visit maybe to buy some thing
Another great video we enjoy 👍
Back in the early 70's bus conversions where so common..I traveled many states as a kid in the 70's in my grandparents old bus conversion ...Most of the last conversation I seen where converted race car haulers in the 80's..
Silas, you should pull tail lights on some of those cars before you crush them. For example, in a recent video you crushed one of the last models of Saab, which is now defunct as a company. It had perfect tail lights that are worth $$ on eBay.
That manure car was so funny lmao talk about when the S*** hits the fan ha ha ha
Love your attitude, man.
That burger looked awesome!
The doors look like 39-40 Ford sedan.
Thanks for another interesting video 👍
Good job
Mate you are such a hardworker
I try
Great video
I like how you are always keeping positive It's not easy nowadays but it's worth it at the end of the day Love your videos. Can't wait to find out what the secret surprise is that you bought the other day
I have been to that little diner many times 😊
I have been to that little diner many times .😊
Great video silas, keep'um coming..
good man.
the greasy cheeseburger was the best! that is one hell of a cheeseburger,looks like a heart attack in a wrapper lol
My favorite part was seeing a new video in my notifications
Another entertaining video, thanks Silas. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Brown paper bag with dark stains on the side... you know that's a good burger.
For sure!
I hate to mention this, with all of the plans that you've already made... but you should be using the antique Dodge bus as your cabin. Now *that* would be really cool. Especially with its history and all.
Old buses aren’t insulated nearly as well as newer buses, so it would take a lot more work to build it. That was my original plan, though.
Sorry you had such a hard day! Sometimes when it rains it monsoons. That mountain of tires and you had to buy tires! 🤦♀️ I know trailers take different (ply) tires, but it still burns your biscuits! Praying your days get better dear. Stay safe and GOD bless
Have you considered talking to the antique forums? Posting to facebook might not get responses, but I bet their are collectors out there if you can get the cars in front of the right audience.
That 440 in the bus would make a good power house engine for someone's street rod
👌🙂👍🚜🏍️🏍️☕🍺🍺
On Chrome frame I remember in Mishawaka Indiana when I lived there is a kid in the 60s they tried having license plates for bicycles. I don't think it ever took off I mean some people got them but the rest of the people said no that's just another tax
Enjoy your videos. I'll keep an eye out for more footage of the Superior bus. I need a passenger side rear window for that style bus body. The optional wrap around.
Nice video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Use another trailer for the shredder, use foam filled trailer tires, there not for highway use, but you will never have another flat, or get the magnets that you mount on the bumper it will pick up steel before you run over it!
I've never had a bicycle license plate. I still don't have one.
Another enjoyable vlog from Silas ! Man I wish I lived closer to you...I'd do all the tidbit things that you don't have time for and more. 👍💪😎 keep the vlogs coming bro !
That motor block in the bus with the unique torque converter is a Pontiac , 389 early 60’s.. great show😀
Awesome video. Cool bicycle license plate! I would just clean up and make look as good as possible! Doors in Dodge bus look like from 30's or 40's vehicle, if rust and dent free I would keep maybe someone could use on a vehicle? Properly worth a couple $! 65 Dodge truck is cool as well as the Dodge bus! I enjoy seeing the old vehicles, they were simple and well built! If I didn't live so far away a would like to come and visit all your properties and see all your neat vehicles in person! Take care. Yes truck prices are crazy new and used!
Tire troubles suck but at least it was repairable. All it takes is to cut down a tire in the sidewall to eat into your profit margin.
Wow! That one car! Talk about a crappy day!
I love old busses. Like you I have seen many even Studebaker's. Never a Dodge. Crazy!
Man that claw can sure do a number on a windshield.
Go warm up. We will catch you on the next one!
Cheers
Terry from South Carolina
Good video Silas, my favorite part was the Dodge school bus with the 440 under the hood!!
I like the bus
I like the old dodge school bus
