- I am still here, I apologize for being so quiet, things have been tough and I am just getting things sorted out,
video on the power hacksaw refurbishment to come!
Viewer Q&A to come soon too, just need more Q to give the A :p, Patrons go first then I pick from the YT comments
No the DT50 is not mine, and I stupidly passed up a Boys 55cal AT rifle last year, but its on the to-do list when I actually have money.. $2500 for a rifle that feels like a guy smacking you with a 2X4 is not a bad deal given I see how much people put into match 22lr rifles that would struggle to stop a feral cat, much less a truck. - Věda a technologie
Sad to think we will never get any of these vids anymore 😢. Rip ed
That merc engine is the reason i dont visit scrapyards anymore. I find myself thinking 'right, pick that engine up, bolt to big generator motor, paint it all nice and get it running good, sell as many hp diesel generator for megabucks.
Suddenly its months later and im staring at piston rings, pcb's and c section girders wondering why i got myself into this mess
oh yeh I said that about making a air compresor out of that old Carrier reefer unit, engine and comp are still sitting under a tarp where I first offloaded it :p
Definitely miss this guy big time!
So I'm watching a dude walking around a scrap yard, picking up anything that is made out of metal and being able to identify what is that 99% of the time, while also rambling about other things.
And I'm enjoying it.
How do you do this?!
ID'ing stuff kinda comes with years of industrial work and just tinkering with things, I guess I just have a good memory
I mean how do you make it so enjoyable to watch you?
Great to see another Ed Systems vid. One of the first channels on CZcams that I started following all them years ago...
Its a shame to see a machine like that destroyed.
I have to say you have the coolest junk yard i have ever seen. So much good stuff!
Good to see you back 👍🏼👍🏼
Sadly, Perth scrap yards generally won't let you wander around to look for interesting bits. You have to ask them to go look for specific things & they generally hate that too.
Always like your scrap yard videos. Might be fun to get the whole control pannel off the injection molding machine.
Great to see you again ed. Keep it up bud. 😉🍻
Glad to see a few of your videos, I hope all is well and keep up with the videos.
Man your nudging me to head to the scrapyard this weekend. It's like an addiction, you never know what treasure your gonna find!
Glad to see you are back! :)
Good to see you still going! Sad seeing a lathe in such a state :(
Hope you get that Merc diesel, nice big 11L engine for making backyard diesel clag there... :D
I second the diesel !! You will need a bigger than average cheater tank to start it, a litre might give you a few minutes ? :)
yeh I put it and a pile of that steel tubing stock aside today, I will get it weighed when it drys up enough to get a forklift in there LOL, too wet at the moment
Sweet, can't wait to see it being played with... :D
Hey Aussie50, Good to see some action on your channel. Hope things go smoother for you in the days ahead. Been missing some adventures with my Aussie friend Wild Bill also, as his Mum is passing and his dog Cindy passed. He says he will be back. Again, it's always good to see you posting a vid. Love you Aussies.
Thanks mate, just trying to sort out work and that such stuff, hope Bill is doing well too, he was sounding a bit rough for a while there.
Hey Ed, we're running a OM422 14 liter v8 bi turbo in our sail plane winch. It's a hell of an engine. I would love to see the small brother coming up.
As many have said, good to see ya! I enjoy the rambles, they're good fun. Those big blue excavator bits would make great scorpion claws for some massive sculpture! Dang, that gun has some kick! XD
Bucket teeth adaptors, they must be for a pretty big machine!
They ring very nicely when struck, it would be fun to hang one up and shoot it with the .50cal it would ring like a bell
Glad that you're still around and to see Australians enjoying their albeit limited and extremely regulated gun rights at the range.
my problem with junk yards is my house starts looking like one if i go there , im all like bro grab that bro lets grab all these BRO we are so taking this .....
It's tragic to see the mills in the pile. I saved my lathe from going to scrap, an ARAD, with 3 meter bed and 500 mm swing (!) . it came with a full set of ISCAR tooling .It's big size meant no one but me wanted it and weighing 4 tons means it took a lot of effort to shift it . I am looking for a smallish mill now ,and only last year i saw several American mills going off to scrap as a small shop closed down . The scrappy wouldn't sell to me.. :-(
yeh its a shame about the mills, but purely horizontal mills arent that sought after anymore. the bridgeport style/turret mills are the way to go unless you have a specific kind of job that needs a horizontal quite frequently. those ones would have easily been 3 tons each, much bigger than they look.
I was looking around for one of those smaller Aussie made horizontal ones, which were in Tafes back in the dark ages.Cant remember the name off hand but they might have been John Heine . I have seen one of two pop up for sale but they get snapped up pretty quick. As some one said, there's no recession in the grey nomad world. One tafe thing I did get from a scrappie though was a Heenan and Froude dyno ,Ex NSW tafe . In almost new nick, I sold it on to a bloke who was restoring old English car engines. At 3 mtrs in length it was a bit ambitious for my uses. ha ha N
ahh the relics of a misspent youth as a maintenance fitter, i know it well
nice to see your still around..its been a wile now. but you should have a go on that lathe might have something good. i have one for the QnA: how is the computers doing? noticed in the last update the i5 is gone from the workshop and looked like the gaming i7 now is in the workshop with the 970 in it.
Nice finds! Just subscribed to you! I like scrap yards too!
I bet that Merc engine would sound glorious under heavy load.
Nice old radio, i'd save that
Very cool if you could do an engine restoration series on that merc
still waiting for the day they find themselves in the ownership of many a commercial washing machine for the sole purpose of resurrecting the good ol' Flamespin during the Australian winter months to keep damn cool while the fire ban is lifted. :D
No smellavision I'm kinda glad. No EV car battery banks.
being mostly metal it does not smell bad, unless you get some arsehole that dumps a fridge or freezer with rotten food in it, then the cat size rats have a feast :p
Aussie50 dad was a fitter machinists building drill rigs for Air Drill/Schramm , its a shame to see things go to waste, dad hated CNC with a passion.
oh yeh I wish I could have saved those old machine tools, sadly just to heavy and big to accommodate where I am. that old Pakistani lathe was in very good shape when it showed up for scrap, just way too big for most people.
enjoy it while it lasts. All the scrap yards around my area won't let you pick over the scrap. They just want to sell you New steel.
you should do more scrapyard rambling....top nice.
All kinds of goodies
I would have taken that old radio from that truck. anything like that I would have snagged ha ha. I love stereo and computer equipment and video equipment I hate to see it go to waste
Love it - need that engine tho :P
If you don't get the whole mercedes block then just get the starter motor and make a go kart or e-bike or something. I enjoyed the last e-bike build.
I've got an old 7Kw 24V marine thruster motor waiting for a bike or kart build :D
I see that Citroen C2 has been modified to look like a Nissan Juke?
haha, I do still want a Juke. its quirky and strange, kinda like me :p
From what I've heard they are quite reliable and economical for their size, which would explain why there are so many here in the UK.
yeh people get hung up on the looks but I have driven a non turbo one and it was fine, only gripe is the rear view, back window is really small
oh no Ed, strange is an understatement for a juke
Actually, having looked a little closer at the specs, the diesel version (common where I live) can get around 70MPG. Whoever told me they are economical wasn't lying!
I'd drag the whole control out of that injection moulding machine.
could have, should have, but I do not need it, I saved the cards and CRT tho. CRT is a composite input with audio!, clearly a NEC chassis with green monochrome screen
Most of these things have no commercial value anymore. No one wants to pay for the power to run something, when there is something out there that can run 40% faster and use 30% less power too.
Can you do some more washer destructions please i really enjoy them
I want to hear what the Merc V6 sounds like, only heard their I6's like the OM906HLA and OM447HLA before.
Search YT for startup vids on OM401 and 421, there are a few. pretty beefy sounding engine
aussie 50 you have a big following - i don't know what's tough in your life - if you need a hand you need to yell out for help from your followers, otherwise the best of luck young old chum.
Hey, you're still alive and well! Been a long time watcher, but your videos aren't showing up in my sub box anymore for some reason. CZcams, please fix!
hi ed what scrap yard do you go too ,i need to buy steel for a heavy press build and it would be heaps cheaper for me than buying new steel, i also live in eastern subs melbourne and am going to build a air over hydraulic 50 ton press with a foot pedal , i am unemployed at the moment so can't afford to spend much on the build, i have messaged you before but had no reply, been long time subscriber and enjoy your vids this would help me alot thanks mate
I go to Westernport Metals, they will sell you almost anything
thanks ed , i really enjoy your videos, work sucks at the moment , all labour hire jobs only, a week here, couple days somewhere else, no more fulltime, i am dli welder too, i like manufacturing but sorry to say politicians with free trade agreements have screwed us over, no more new factories opening only closing
you are young and very clever and hope all goes good for you, keep making ,blowing up things cracks me up, thanks mate
Hello there Ed Welcome back.
It will be Interesting to see what you can do with that monitor. Maybe play Half Life or Doom on it.
Duke nukem!!!!
@@andrewmena3118 That too, and blood, and Shadow Warrior.
3:28
Are those chips with the stickers on them clear window EPROMS?
yep, we dumped a few and it has all the command line structure for the CRT display and all
Love me some junkyard scrounging
That gun nearly threw ya outta ya seat
That introduction isn't so funny anymore
Truly is sad :(
Such a shame. Given what's happened it almost sounds like a call for help.
Indeed.
Was it loneliness?
now I'm noticing it he used to use that still alive introduction almost all the time...
Loooove scrap yards ! 50 cal. ?
yeh thats a DT50, thing is loads of fun to shoot, even at $5 a shot :D
Can I ask where this junkyard is ?
a shame those lathes and milling machines get thrown away. would love to have one, even a crappy one, but they are so god damn expensive
or really cheap and hard to move LOL, half the reason they end up on the pile, too big for your average home gamer
Aussie50 i wouldn't mind having a monster lathe as a home gamer if it only costs me a few hundred :p
Does someone know any other channels just exploring scrapyards?
3:51 What brand of tractor was that? Zetor or Ursus? If it's a Ursus then they are extremely rare outside of their native Poland
Its a Zetor, does not run tho, all the lines from the inj pump are unscrewed indicating sombody was messing with it and gave up
Ah, too bad.
yeh it would be nice to get working again, its all there, just needs the engine sorted, some cleaning and TLC and front left tire fixed, its dead flat at the moment, apart from that it would be a good workhorse
Hi Aussie just a quick question are you going to do a meet and greet in the future
PS 11hp lawn mower ride on and I have to get rid of it it goes good I just don't have the room for it if you want it just let me know
I would like to do a meet and greet at some point, trouble is everyone is so far away :p. I will work somthing out this summer.
A mower would be cool, I have one as it is but a family member wants one, shoot me an email as to where it is and I will work out if I can pick it up :
realaussie50@gmail.com
Aussie50 I should mention that it has no cutting deck on it as I use to race it and I work in Somerville
ah ok I do not think I would ever use it then, I need one with a deck
Aussie50 that's ok hope to see you at a meet or the scap yard one of these days
Do you speak to Brad still? Wish he would make repair vids again.
you have to touch things don't you lol push pull poke throw. just what I do haha
Engine OTAKU!!!!
Is it true that burnt radiator hoses, etc can cause formation of hydroflouric acid? Nasty stuff. Can cause limb amputation.
cant say I have ever heard of that. Sulphuric compounds would be more like it given rubber like tires has a lot of sulphur in it. part of why it smells so bad when burnt.
Aussie50 I'm pretty sure I'm correct. I'll investigate!
Aussie50 There you go... just for your info really - be careful! www.worksopguardian.co.uk/news/chief-s-warning-of-deadly-dangers-of-burnt-out-cars-1-626652
It seems a bit far fetched, I have been exposed to all kinds of burnt stuff and never had to cut off parts of my body
Aussie50 Me neither, thankfully. Just relaying the facts...
They sold Citroens there? I never knew that.
yeh they arent all that popular but they are around, not sure when they started selling them here but its a good few decades from what I can tell
Why don't you sent the old control stack to Dave? :D
I dunno what he would do with it, I have already reverse engineered most of it (I did return that day and get the rest of the cards)
Well, Dave always manages to turn a simple teardown or overview into a rather educational video for newcomers and interested viewers.
true, he does a good job!
12:32 That was .22 right?
hi where is this scrap yard i need to buy some metal to make a 30 ton press , i am in eastern subs, much cheaper for me to buy
scrap steel than new cheers komrad
Thats actually a OM401, not OM421. Cool engine nevertheless.
yeh your right, I think its only 1lt smaller than the 421, apart from that all the same
Engel is austrian 👍
What junk yard is that
Westernport metals
Amonth l8er mate. Your keeping us hangin. Im doin a clean up and almost unsubbed hope your ok.
sorry mate, been a bit ill lately, also working away from home more and more, should be starting a roofing manufacturing job next week or so. I will put somthing together today or tomorrow tho.
8.40 in pour coca cola in each bore and leave it over night must be quality coca cola unseizes all rings never failed me
yeh the phosphoric acid in it is great stuff, I have a bottle of lab grade stuff somwhere, instantly breaks down rust into black ferric oxide
Are you going to quit youtube? Or go else where?
I will stay here until they take my channel down. the strikes happen more and more often on really old content, its the automated system and SPLC taking things to extremes
@10:53 ,that's where the nutty leftist politicians belong
