Abandoned for 70 YEARS! Cleaning Up an OVERGROWN Farm Full of Old Cars & Trucks

[@calldon4688]

Hey Silas. There's something I've wanted to say to you for a while now after watching your videos. You're a very, very lucky guy for being able to spend that much time with your Dad. I didn't take that opportunity. Now I live with the regrets. I wish it had been different. My fault. Cherish what you have brother. It makes me very happy for both you and him. I'm absolutely sure he's proud as proud can be of you.

[@spudth]

Dude, don't think that way. Cherish the good times! Don't long for missed opportunities of togetherness.

[@mariusrascol763]

Better than Anything DISNEY been offering for the last 20 YEARS. Just great ! So relaxing watching❤

[@SIXPACFISH]

That tractor is a 1940's War Tractor. When all the tractor manufacturers were building guns and tanks for WWII. People still had to farm to eat and feed the solders at war. Farmers had to build their own tractors out of any old thing they had laying around the farm. They made due for the war years until all the manufacturing companies went back to commercial production and started building tractors again.

What AWESOM Bunch of Stuff !!! 😃👍👍👍👍👍

[@evanurwiler3035]

I love the farm clean ups, reminds me that i need to clean up the farm also lol.

[@jimcarlisle2309]

Exciting Video!

[@darinclark1853]

Watching that magnet work was mesmerizing...

[@mickmarshall9254]

It's amazing watching your dexterity with the loader!

[@dave-uf8ir]

Excellent harvest silas cheers 😊

[@martinellis7156]

I trod in cow-pats every day growing up in rural Shropshire and we even used to have fights throwing them at each other - you never forget the smell...hahaha..

[@JohnShinn1960]

Fun for the entire family! Yeeeee haaaaa! 🤠👍

[@Awsom47Merc]

The GMC Semi looks like a 39. Seems savable. The Ford coupe is a 41. Similar body to my 47 Merc. And yes that 57 Fairlane has a lot of usable trim and glass parts. You are magic with a loader. Couldn't believe you got that 40 Ford Deluxe shell out without it crumbling. Anyway, another good vid. 👊😎👍

[@fghjsdhg]

90.000 subscribers! Well deserved Silas!

[@StivNagen]

Great video, Silas. I always particularly enjoy the longer ones.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Yes Silas - watch those Landmines - ha ! Love these Farm Clean Ups - You never know what You may find other than those Beautiful Old Cars and Trucks ! Loader works very well - back to Normal ! Some Scrap Iron as well - now to see the Lurking Claw - ah ! Cool Cars and an Auction Tomorrow - man - You are Busy ! Another Enjoyable Video and many Cheers from Australia - hey - that Honey sound Great !!!!

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

The video I was talking about was actually the one where I bought that 60 Plymouth wagon. That video is posted already however.

[@Mr.Howell78k]

​@@AdventuresMadeFromScratchJust wondering, have you ever seen the British show called: "SCRAPPERS UK"? 🌏🌍🌏🌍 Of course it's all about a scrap junk yard. I think I watched every episode.🚚🚛🚐🛻🚙🛺🚕🚓🚌🚑💈

[@Bill-o6o]

The Chevy flatbed truck is my favorite hell I like a lot of your old trucks

[@vicswanby454]

That semi is pretty cool and a little bit of time and a feller could have a dedicated goose neck scrapping truck he could send out for a additional piece of equipment just a thought. Nice haul over the week.

[@reneprovencher8395]

That 41 Ford body looks beautiful. That’s a saver? I saw when you were scouting a 41 Ford grille!!!! Oh to be 25 again, I’d be making you an offer. At 75 and doing hard labor all my life I don’t have the strength! 😭I love 32 to 56 fords!!!! Love these videos you do!!!! Been following you since the Studebaker crushing videos? Maybe a few before!!!! 👍👍👍👍your the man! 😁😂

[@claytondewey3367]

That was a obstacle course. Interesting to see what's hidden at old farm property. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@anthonytursak51]

Very cool old GMC!! Looks restorable to me.

[@charlesleaf5602]

Love your videos. My favorite is the '39-'40 semi. That gauge on the dash is actually an instrument to set the flow rate of the road asphalt dispensed per foot as the driver drove. Set the rate and drive. Pretty simple. I'm a retired truck driver. Just glad comfort features have come a long way compared to that ole girl. But i wish i was younger and had a place to do custom work. I would love to restore that ole girl to be a show truck, along with the '41 Ford. That car would make a great hot rod. Many thanks for your videos and hard work to keep these vehicles alive, one way or another. Bless you. 👍

[@DarkVoidIII]

Silas has had years of experience on the loader by now. He really worked some magic getting that old hauler out. I noticed how he sat the forks down, lifted the front wheels slightly, and twisted the body so the wheels would go left far enough to help drag the hauler out by the back end. Some things they don't teach you about the loader, and you have to learn it yourself. 😁👍👍

[@SteveLingen]

Thumbs up for saving the GMC semi and the little tractor. Keep saving the good stuff 👍

[@scottyparker2534]

Silas love that you and your dad work together it reminds me of the time I spent with my dad,he passed in 03 I was glad of all the times we road and ate together God bless you and your family,I like 57 ford's wish I was close

[@walterquave6811]

Nothing like a junk yard dog, my dad had an English bulldog that ate all the stogie butts off the ground, the more I watch you the better I like it, my dad had 10 acres of old big trucks and heavy equipment , nothing went to waste it was all recycled or sold for parts, when my dad decided to retire a Cuban refugee from Costa Rica that had a shop to rebuild trucks and equipment bought almost everything my dad had. It was about 1975 and 60,000 $ was a lot of $. Keep on junkin

[@LarryO777]

Love your skill on the loader. You handle these cars more carefully than my cleanup technician!

[@jukeman57]

Wow! Amazing heavy equipment skills man. That big ole 621C with those big forks makes moving those antiques a piece of cake.

[@ronaldhope8939]

Great content. You know how to operate the loader. Impressive move of the GMC. You are also getting a lot better with the excavator. Outstanding job.

[@rickhughes9385]

Wow the things people will complain about I watch and appreciate everything you do Keep on doing what you’re doing Have a great day

[@Steven5teven]

One mans junk, Is another mans treasure!

[@stuartfletcher2378]

Another farm clean up , You did good saved some old cars that may live to see another day . Keep up the good work , you deserve a BIG thank you . Till next time , Stuart in Canada ...

[@kapekodbob]

Wow, I would take the 41 and the 57. I learned to drive on a 57 in 62 and I had a 41 when in the Navy in 67. . Wished I had a place to work on them.. Hopefully someone will buy them. Love what you do.

[@williambeahm2574]

Wow all them antique cars left to rot away 😢

[@williambeahm2574]

I did a farm clean up back in 2008 when scrap prices were sky high. I made 2000 in one week. I have never seen a metal cased television until I did that clean up. We did everything by hand. Each load I took out on my pickup truck weighed 4200 pounds and my truck was only a half ton 89 D100 Dodge pickup. My uncle has it now.

[@rhythmblackheart917]

My favorite was the semi 😊 great video!!! Loved seeing the claw again!!!

[@GwynnOak1]

That 41 Ford coupe would be a prime builder back east! That 55-56 Chevy truck looks good for what you find here. Silas rusty is entirely relative, and what y'all consider rusty is still a builder on the east coast. As clapped out as that 57 Fairlane is, it would still be a gasser. Bet that 40's GMC semi sells, that one is cool! Sure wish I still had my yard, we'd be looking for a transporter.

[@chriskeller4563]

Bet you were super pleased to have your best friend the loader back 😊 great video Silas 😊

[@joshring8765]

Silas! Master of the front loader!!

[@trentonbanner2433]

Love the old gmc semi would be cool to restore to haul hot rods around with

[@johnwillia339]

It is worth the time just watching you operate the loader ! Love the coupe .

[@garysimonson9593]

That loader sure earns its keep. It has to be the one most versatile machine that you own.

[@tomrowe7534]

Awesome edition SI. I’m with you the GMC was pretty cool. I also liked the Skylark. The hood ornament on the red Chevy was a GM accessory for a 51 Styleline. It may fit other years but my 51 has that along with almost every GM accessory offered in 51

[@excitationofstereocilia2103]

Look at all that beautiful trim on that Ford ❤my gosh I could look at these vehicles all day for my sanity.

[@landroverihtractor1965]

Another great video - the semi is definitely my favouite - the nicest I have seen. Great that these aren't all sent to the scrap - thanks for saving them and sharing them with the world for posterity. Still hoping for a tour of the tractors - maybe that will be a Christmas present for us tractor guys 🙂

[@johnnydeville5701]

Great video! That 46ish Ford 2 door sedan would make a great wood storage for your camping area. That GMC truck is awesome! So is that red Advanced Checked truck! Great video, keep up the good work, Silas! Always excited to watch your new videos!

[@deannachambers2471]

I live in California and I seen your video honestly to say it's very pleasing to watch how things are done moving things around with these excavators and cleaners I for sure thought he was going to pull a part of your truck up cuz I remember seeing these as a kid in junkyards but now you don't see those here in California hardly anymore with the magnet, now when they do cars they use the forklifts interesting to see how things work in other places thank you for sharing your video.

[@JohnShinn1960]

Can I ask, is it your audio setup or are your hydraulics much louder on the loader? Thanks Silas, another farm cleanup much enjoyed, nice seeing the claw again too! Stayin tuned! 🤠👍

[@wingerfan1]

Pretty cool to see you spend some time with the old man. I wish I spent more time with mine but when he moved away things got harder. I love seeing all these old cars. It's just a shame that most of them got left to rot and had to be scrapped.

[@allan-mw7op]

This was an awesome video ! ,thanks for taking us along ,so much cool old iron, the gmc and the 41 were my top pics the 57 could be saved if a person was pretty ambitious ...

[@bradsmn]

That old 38 GMC truck is so sweet. I don't know if you will ever find something in such a nice condition coming out of a grove. Until next time.. There seems to always be a few surprises. They don't make them like they used to are proven in your videos.

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

Cheepo magnet 😮

[@kerrywootton2435]

Good job young man. You really know how to use the loader well.

[@randyhughes5160]

Sometimes your more like a archeologist it is always nice to watch

[@Kiko020576]

Either the iron and metal was really heavy or that magnet was really weak

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

It was heavy and had 1-2” of rust dust between each piece

[@TinkerHoff-tc7qf]

How much on GMC truck

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah the GMC semi that would be sweet all fixed up, I just subscribed I’ll be watching for more love old cars.

[@williamdeegan7840]

Kinda sad seeing these farms getting cleaned out. Pretty soon, there won't be any farms to clean out. Nice job on the video.

[@Rick-or2yl]

That homemade tractor closely resesambles a Friday Orchard tractor. They were built ww2 Era from old truck parts when new farm equipment was not built. From Michigan. Look them up. They were neatly crafted given the circumstances of the world.

[@sxelectro]

Silas Hi there , well GMC Semi is my pick closely followed by home made tractor . Thanks for the show it was awesome to watch

[@libertysgarage8411]

I like that 41 Ford coupe. Love the profile on those.

[@williamhouk6880]

GMC Semi truck is way cool , can't imagine working that thing daily on non Interstate highways back in the day. This truck was parked way before the first Interstate Highway was ever thought of. Pretty amazing that it's still around in that good of condition. 😊

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Mr. Silas. 👍👌👏 Great purchases, congratulations 🎉. I totally agree, the old semi truck is the most interesting vehicle. As I saw the window cranks for the divided windshield, I instantly thought: Maaan, I would love to own such a truck. With a dump bed on it or used to haul a camper, it would even be usable. My second favourite is the old Ford coupe out of the 1940s. Third is the red running, driving and braking truck Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.

[@mikesullivan4059]

Awesome! The gmc & the 41ford revved me up!

[@daewooparts]

Definitely that old GMC semi truck is a good find

[@terencelee2386]

Ilike all your videos. The Chevy truck with the Impala hood ornament was my favorite!

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-1983]

CONGRATULATIONS YOU'RE AT 90K RIGHT NOW!!! YOU'RE KNOCKING ON THAT DOOR OF A 100K AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET THERE REAL QUICK I'M SURE OF THAT. I'M GLAD TO SAY I'VE BEEN WITH YOU FOR PART OF THIS JOURNEY WISH I HAD FOUND A CHANNEL EARLIER

[@chrisbayly6612]

cool cars and trucks

[@Anders.W.]

The red Chevrolet truck is my favorite . Hope you find a new home for it . The old GMC is rare and can bee sameting cool one day with a body behind it .

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-1983]

Great job. I'm going to send a link from this video to a guy out in the west coast about that semi that you hauled in. I like the two Chevys myself I think it was a 56 and then that last one you showed we'll call it a 52. I guess I've got a cream puff because I've got one that doesn't have rust up and down in that spot. And it also has an old oil drilling rig complete on the back of it. It ran when parked haha. The 261 in it bad thing about it it didn't have a thousand miles on it after rebuilt and it's been setting for a few decades ought to be pretty fun to get it loose. Great video. That little homemade tractor you can make a little short out of it and really rake in the views I forget what they call him right now but you know what it is.👍

[@stuarttyson786]

That little tractor? a doodlebug!!

[@KenthGustafsson300]

Nice you have eyes for it...and not only scrap all as fast it goes for quick money!

[@kevinbarnes8596]

Old semi truck was the absolute best

[@stevenhicks8625]

The ‘41 Ford gets my nod . Action packed video !

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

I'd have to agree the "fairly small & cute" GMC semi, w/ the massivefront bumper apendage was a cool and rare truck.

[@chuck26241]

I like the gmc semi as well but that last truck was awesome as well.

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Great cars from the clean up I no the trucks cought your eye great job great clean up thank you

[@cordovanbee]

Cool old stuff!

[@marinebulldog739]

It's an impala for the hood ornament. Also a big thank you for the content. I never miss your post.

[@NickFortier]

It's amazing how many people used to just keep shit indefinitely

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

They still do. I’ve bought several collections of 90s-00s cars now out of fields and tree rows full of rats 😆

[@e.fifield9034]

save every old car you can they only go up in value ,if you have the space its a gold mine. you are so lucky to do what you do!!!!

[@toddjones1831]

Really enjoy this video

[@unknown_5925]

Man the orange truck is awesome one day ill get to the US and find an old truck I can take back home

[@excitationofstereocilia2103]

Truly wish I could save that coupe with the neat grill ❤

[@chrisurschel6832]

Howdy Silas! The unknown hood ornament on the truck looks like a after market Chevrolet Impala hood ornament.

[@KimMiskell-j6w]

Love the Fairlane. Keep up the good work

[@donnathompson3906]

great job silas you made it look easy

[@jwarehouse1]

Love that GMC semi! I hope that gets restored! I hope that running/driving Chevy stays on the road a little longer...

[@patmayer7222]

[@CallMeAllan]

Fun video thanks

[@carsonwyndham9693]

Thanks, I sure enjoy your videos. My favourite was the semi I think

[@donsab-xz4so]

Seeing you move through the brush towards the old hulks of cars with the forks extended puts me in mind of the nature shows with the lions hunting their prey.

[@sandbergmachineandtool6226]

Im glad a guy got his loader back.

[@swh1123]

Love that GMC truck.

[@katbot2190]

That gmc is cool. I would just put a raised bed garden on the bed and keep it as is. I still want to know what that hand is for, the one on the dash. I'm just going to say it opens the front windows. I like that fence. I had to laugh when you said old cemetery fence because I was thinking that spot looked like a cemetery. That fencing, which I can't remember the name of used to be pretty popular about 10-15 years ago. Did you have the camera last time you were out there? If not those cows were saying, "Run girls he has a camera" That orange truck would sell good in Texas. Just put a Longhorns logo on it. 😄

[@JoeHamelin]

That GMC with the branding on the side of the hood is killer.

[@bobtucker8875]

Great 👍 content Silas😅.. Very interesting 🤔👍. Keep up the good work 😂.

[@lczed7970]

You've got the meadow muffin blues.....on the bottom of your shoes😂

[@JonathanRowley-hz6oe]

The hood ornament on the truck is the golden gazelle. From A 51 Chevrolet passenger car very rare. It was a special option

[@charlesstarlin6354]

Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎
