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.

[@eddieedwards77]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@WACRE44]

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

[@jeffsnyder2453]

Congrats on the 60000 subscribers! Keep up the good work!

[@realnikonlover6207]

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

[@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.

[@BarryAlan-k3k]

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

[@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.

[@scottvereb8146]

Silas, you always seem to enjoy your work! you never let setbacks spoil your day. And I love seeing all the things you find. Plus you operate that loader with suck skill

Cool clean up. Can't wait for part 2 and maybe 3 ?

[@williamlloyd3769]

Early, tiny Caterpillar was the most interesting piece.

[@michaelbergman8277]

I love the old barn finds and farm clean ups you do!! Looking very forward to your next video of anythng you post. You work very hard and share your days with us. As always another fantastic video!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@JohnShinn6078]

Never realized how I missed these farm cleanups, lookin forward to part 2! Thanks Silas! 👍👍👍👍 Caterpillar Ten 🤠👍

[@mack_mcmillan]

That stylized Caterpillar script on that radiator is really cool.

[@claytondewey3367]

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

[@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.

[@GrandpaDan51]

Love the old little cat and the old Chevy grain truck. Stay safe and God bless. Dan 🇺🇸

[@stuartfletcher2378]

No Question : The 55 Chev is the best thing I have seen in Years !!!! Stuart in Ontario Canada ........

[@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.

[@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.

[@larrydecoste3363]

Well that was fun Silas . Brings back lots of memories.

[@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.

[@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.👍

[@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!

[@tomglenn4778]

With no doubt the 55 chevy and the small cat dozer

[@kb1kos]

I love that little CAT 10.

[@muddymikey3]

@11:35 yellow cab is 41-46 chevy possibly 39/40 as well im not sure what the differences are but they are very close

[@muddymikey3]

41 has the key hold in the pass side door handle 46 has the key hole under the handle

[@johnbarron1329]

That mini Cat dozer was pretty cool I hope it gets saved and restored! Great video as farm clean up is always a favorite! 💯

[@williamdeegan7840]

You gotta save that Star chassis. I know, save it, save it. That is worth saving. What would you want a Star hubcap ? Cool video .

[@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.

[@jeremysmith3522]

My favorite was the Caterpillar Ten ! That’s one cool little piece. 👍👍 Another great video too !

[@sararedfearn4691]

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.

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

[@shanebrown5709]

I enjoy your show as a kid we use to love going to scrap yards.

[@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.

[@robertforget6369]

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

[@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

My personal favorite is the unusual little metal building. Super cool !

Dear Mr. Silas. 👍👌👏 I love this kind of videos. Your loader is definitely a strong one. Hope someone buys that little crawler. It's a really nice and interesting looking hut, I would've saved it too.

[@mandymoo7406]

[@philiplafleur4504]

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.
