Dragging Abandoned BARN FINDS Out of their Hiding Spots!

[@kellykirk5754]

Brings back memories. In 76’ I was a teenager and helped a guy doing scrapping. We climbed over piles. And I grabbed many small items One of the amazing things I saw doing that was a 1904 and 1906 caterpillars. That were used for highway 6 both still ran at that time. In the south west corner of Iowa.

[@javajeff3772]

I am a Chevy guy, so loved the ‘55. Aside from that, the little Cat Ten might have been my favorite.

[@gregsilva6077]

the roadgrader cab would make a neat well cover or even a school bus stop shelter for kids

[@DGillyy]

I thought the same thing, the cab would have been cool to save

[@eddieedwards77]

Silas the cab off of that greater would be a perfect bus stop shelter for kids.

[@paulwilliams8824]

My favorite thing was that 55 Chevy ❤️❤️❤️… but that Cat 10 was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. It would cost me $$$ to get that thing to North Carolina 😢 I’d love to have it!

[@doug8525]

I like that old building too, and the old road grader. Had a blast watching today

[@johnryder1888]

A tractor on tracks without a dozer blade is a crawler tractor. Thank you Silas for your high quality videos. I'm learning about the history of an unfamiliar, to me, agricultural region in the U.S. How lucky your kids are to have a dad like you.

[@russellstarr9111]

The little Caterpillar Ten brings back some good old memories of my first full time employer. The old boy had one of those sitting behind the shop. I don't know what ever happened to it. It was complete but the magneto needed fixed.

[@4wdboss230]

Love these farm cleanups. Old equipment is very interesting. Top four favorites. 1. The old thresher/pull combine. 2. The hit n miss motor with the generator. 3. Single track implement with attachments. 4. The small Caterpillar. I sure hope you save 2, 3, and 4.

[@davidsimpson700]

Love that old cat

[@t1259sw]

The crawler you pulled the tags off of that tool box on the left side is very hard to find, bet all the antique tractor guys are screaming at you. 55 Chevy two door hard top, mega cool.

[@jeffrogers8314]

The cat 10 is my favorite

[@WACRE44]

Tiny cat ❤😊and the little shed you saved ❤😊!

[@twisted2291]

That one thing you didn't know what it was. Well it looks like an old Hit & Miss engine. That '55 is one hell of a Barn Find.

[@robertforget6369]

i have no use for it but that little ten dozer is awesome would be a great will it start project

[@BarryAlan-k3k]

Hey Silas, thank you for preserving our history, need more like you and Good Pliers! And I loved the old bus

I liked the old cat equipment especially the little cat 10, there is another guy on the tube that only deals with the older cat equipment

[@patalexander3702]

Silas, been well over a year since I visited your site! This video is awesome in many ways! As usual you keep us busy watching and listening; while you give us the details what’s coming and going on. That big front double forked loader really has its way when it carries off his dead ancestors. You are correct, that was a beautiful place, just seeing the layout and maybe how it was years ago! It was actually a peaceful place of sort to me. Hope to come by more often. Have a safe work day every day.

[@stephenhenderson9871]

Caterpillar 10 is my favorite and the one track garden tractor is really interesting. My first time here but not my last, great channel.

[@garytaylor5342]

Really liked the GMC grain truck and the old cat 10. The old garden tractor with track was kinda neat. You have to do some reaserch on that one... Farm cleanups are the best.

[@realnikonlover6207]

Awesome job Silas. I am thinking that old tin shed would make one fantastic modernized chicken coop! LOL

[@TNgrandee3]

Hello Silas, hands down the 55 Chevy is my favorite. I was a young teenager back then. Dad had a 54 Ford then. Where we lived in the mountains of East Tennessee a road grader was used on the gravel roads. You could hear that grader coming from about 2 miles away. Thanks for the memories.

[@geraldrichards6218]

That small caterpillar was nice,hope you don’t crush it.👍

[@MrMattDat]

Great job Silas! Looking forward to Part 2! Best vehicle? The 55 in the barn by far. Very, very cool is the early Cat. So cool, unique and complete!

[@carguy8100]

Hi there Silas. Thank you for your time, showing us all some interesting track and wheeled stuff. I look forward to the next download. JR/UK.

[@johnnydeville5701]

That little Cat is awesome! Would make a great show piece, or yard art, on the back of that GMC! Those GM cabs are cool, but that truly barn find '55 Chevrolet is amazing. I don't blame them for keeping it!

[@TheMilwaukieDan]

Old CAT Equipment is so desirable by so many enthusiasts. To see this end up in scrap is painful…. However the bright side is it’s making all of the other survivors more valuable.

[@redmondjp]

Did he say that he is definitely going to scrap it? Scrap steel prices are really low right now as well. That's the exact type of thing (heavy, small) that is worth trying to sell to a collector, or to at least wait until scrap gets up to $150-175 per ton again.

[@TheMilwaukieDan]

@@redmondjp the only thing he thought had any value was to rip the radiator out to sell for scrap. It is what it is.

[@DavidJones-vh5py]

That cat10 was amazing!

[@ericluitjens4256]

It always amazes me what people abandoned in their groves 50-60 years ago. I can't imagine having 100T of scrap on my property and not at least attempting to get rid of some of it those years when iron was $160+. Things like old trucks, graders, and dozers could have paid a lot of bills if they had sold them before they rotted away.

[@AndrewTwoTen]

This the 55 hardtop video from back in the day isn’t it? That car keeps me up at night.

[@bruceschwertner9343]

Boy that old 55 Chevrolet brings back memories.

[@steveriley1995]

Enjoyed it buddy and looking foward to the part 2. Really liked the little dozer. Maybe they will decide to sell the 55 chevy.👍

That stylized Caterpillar script on that radiator is really cool.

[@bulletsonofagun7413]

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Farm Clean Up - hey - yes - we love that Small Tin Building also very much - it can be straighten out again - very cool looking ! 55 Chevy in that Barn - Dusty - but in Great Condition - love the Interior ! You got some great Farm Equipment Scrap and Dozers etc ! Now we are looking forward to Part 2 - more Goodies to be Removed from that Farm ! Great Video as Usual - loving it ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!! Favorite Equipment has to be that Little "Crawler" Dozer !!!!

[@jamessekulich2344]

Silas I'm a Ford man(as I've told you before) but that 55 Chevy is too cool. Sorry that you couldn't get it but I do understand sentimental value, because of that you would have to give so much it wouldn't have enough to make it worth your while. Thanks for the awesome content.

[@claytondewey3367]

Loved this video. That baby cat would be fun to get running again.

Looks like you have a lot of weight there you are scraping good deal . Thanks for sharing always love watching.

That 55 Chevy was my favorite. At the end of this video when you were talking about extra stuff that you were going to take, I was hoping that you were going to mention the car.

[@gilnorton1]

This was a great video. Really neat items to see. I would say that building has my interest, want to see what you do with it, if you can get it straightened up. I am amazed at how you can manage to get all the big items out of the trees. And your right about that old video, I randomly saw it and have been hooked ever since seeing it. Your videos, all of them are really enjoyable. Fun music choices and great camera work. Thanks for sharing your time and adventures with us. Peace

The caterpillars worth more money. But I'm not in that market.. the early fifties red Farm trucks my favorite

[@GwynnOak1]

Wow that 55 is like the epitome of barn finds, the one everyone dreams of finding. Even if not for sale now, you know where it is, they know it interests you. Things change!

[@nathanpitts1591]

I have been a Tri Five Chevy guy since the 1960's. Always dreamed of finding a 2 dr HT like that one. All I ever found have been 4 dr sedans. That looks very restorable. You can buy all kinds of new parts for it too. That has got to be one of the most popular restoration vehicles there are.

[@brandonbrewer1141]

those antique Caterpillars are very collectable. Theres a channel called DieselCreek, I know he would definitely be interested in them.

The CAT 10 crawler is my favorite. Wish I could afford it's shipment to CA. Years ago I tried to buy a small IHC crawler from the local high school FFA farm, but they gave it to a scrapper.

[@drskull9]

Love those old crawlers.

[@ordrazz]

greets again from Australia - loved the tiny little catapillar, that would be a collector for sure.... love these types of videos... this is the type that got me into watching all of yours... i don't know if you remember, but i told you about the hemlock (tall weeds that have white flowers like broccoli) in one of your early videos... hope you save the tiny cat...

[@mandymoo7406]

the tiny cat would never be melted even i love it but dont want it,regarding hemlock i have it near me here in gb nasty nasty stuff,thing is theres warnings every year but people still dont listen,ive seen it 15 foot tall by the river

Now, you must know that my favorite was the 55' Chevy in the barn. I hope they restore it before it falls apart.

[@raymondlepp9048]

This was a dream come true I did what you did here and some times all the hauling of the big coal furnaces. And grain elevators to one wheel ranch had shit loads of 30foot train track and engion coal car and caboose on that same property we're 12batterys out of old lonotives biggest I ever seen thanks keep shareing buddy

I love your channel and your videos. The kids being included reminds me of when I was a young Dad. Such precious memories. I will add that '55 Chevy might not be so sentimental to them if a serious buyer came along. A complete 2 door hard top in that kind of condition?! Can you begin to imagine an auction with two motivated buyers?! Tens of thousands easy. But keep up the good work. You have a lovely young family and a great attitude toward life.

My favorite is the small cat I just love the way that the name is on the grill. There should be someone out there that wants that small cat. I have seen one on a t.v. show that was restored I think that show was classic tractor fever it's on the RFDTV channel. GOD IS GOOD GOD IS GREAT GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL WHO READ THIS AMEN.
