• I Bought an ABANDONED ...

[@TDR1990]

Somebody was parting your vehicles, took the parts half of the way and thought "well, I'll just hide them here and come back later". That's the only logical explanation as to why the parts were far from the cars themselves

[@nynjalantz]

Or the tree demon is a wrench monkey..

[@rodrigoromero2454]

you are missing the logical explanation of woods demons being grease monkeys

The large pile of wire (possibly just insulation) in the living room points towards an infestation of the Common Appalachian Tweaker

[@michaels5809]

As someone who lives around your area, toll brothers and ryan homes can screw off haha . Found your channel through the communist drill video and am now hooked.

[@Unknown_Ooh]

Bulldozer? A bunch of developers stealing land around you? All you need now is a welding machine and thick steel plates.

[@rhanemann9100]

Great Killdozer reference on the 20th anniversary!

[@courier11sec]

Concrete and re bar as well.

[@VV0RK]

Killdozer was an entitled boomer and not someone to look up to

[@outrageous-alex]

ewww

[@suburbandiyguy661]

Hey OP, explain how developers are stealing land. Last time I checked they pay for it. Why do you think everyone sells to them? Because they pay good prices, that's why. Don't be a braindead.

[@oceanheadted]

You should film a found footage horror movie there and rebuild using the proceeds. Your kids are going to love the Kenworth truck

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

Talk about having a bumper crop of tires come fall...You even have a control tower with an observation office chair to monitor the progress. The last that was heard from the DT was he went out to his property to go 'walkabout' and sadly was never heard from again; luckily the GoPro was found so we have this last footage. I am thinking the aliens got him.

[@courier11sec]

The further I get into this video the more baffled I am and the more envious I am. Corn-gratulations.

[@edwardwade2696]

I almost spit my coffee when you zoomed in on the knife/unicorn setup.

[@daringfungus]

This is awesome, also you got to be my new favorite channel, I love your videos.

[@503mcbee]

I really admire your videos. Yes, we laugh when you call those mountains.

[@hananas2]

Heh here in Belgium we call a 120m (400ft) hill a mountain

[@justincavinder5504]

I think a backhoe rental would be the most versatile to help in your clean up. Nice property

[@barthanes1]

That's one big green chunk of scrap iron. I bet it would still pay a little to have someone haul it off.

[@herzogsbuick]

i'm so jealous. i'm from lower bucks, levittown originally but i can't tell you all the time i spent in the poconos, hunting, camping, fishing, hiking, trying to impress girls i had crushes on hehehe. i live in alaska now, and am fortunate that playing music puts me in a different part of the state every week, but still. how the hell have you never seen a black bear?! i've seen bear a bunch up there!

[@chdinct6792]

This channel just got a lot more interesting. Can’t wait to see how things develop. Kinda jealous too.

[@davedemo8229]

Congratulations and good luck. Gonna need a bigger mower. One question...what the hech is a pop shovel? Motor in Euclid is a detroit diesel 2 stroke 671. No lowballers

[@thedoubtfultechnician8067]

When are you coming to pick it up?? I’ll hold it for you.

[@davedemo8229]

A 'poop' shovel is a shovel for digging a hole to bury 'poop'.

[@dgeos4740]

FYI, it's pronounced "vo lar ee". Successor to the Valiant. Owned 'em both. Slant sixes rule!

[@FlymanMS]

27:30 Nah, that would be local cultists who's been observing you.

[@modelleicher]

Those german "Ihle Schottenring" cars could be quite valuable.. If you have not done any research into them the term "Schottenring" should help you find a few articles. Also the restored one from the Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum seems to have sold for a bit of money.. Not sure if that is indicative of their value as there are so few of them even left in existence. Hirth is a very common manufacturer of small 2 stroke engines back in the day here in germany. The engine is most likely from the 1950s, I guess the entire Shottenring Car is as well. I have a very similar engine on my walk-behind tractor.

[@thedoubtfultechnician8067]

Think they’re worth dragging out of the woods?

[@modelleicher]

​@@thedoubtfultechnician8067 If they are still complete.. seems in the video they are, I think I saw front fenders laying in there? The one from the museum in the RM Sothebys auction sold for $41k for some reason.. But no idea if they are actually valuable or just good marketing from the auction house. One issue with things so rare nobody knows what it is.. difficult to find somebody who wants it. So that price is probably a one-off. Still, with the right buyer probably valued at some amount of money thats worth rescuing them.

[@thedoubtfultechnician8067]

@modelleicher Thanks for the info. I just need to get enough money to make it worth my time getting them out. No need for profit- just hate to trash them. I’m currently building a bridge over that creek with the frame from the mobile home, which will be needed to get them out and off the property.

[@courier11sec]

Haha. Weiner..

[@dingusbingus8554]

Video restoring them!

[@d3punkt5]

This is both awesome and confusing! I'm not very familiar with junkyards like these, so is it common for the stuff to be left around such a huge area? I assume a lot of the forest grew up over time, but why isn't everything gathered up closer? Like the red doors for the pickup, 200 yards away? Was the place more like a flat open area once, and nature has pretty much eaten everything?

[@aperson7238]

the Euclid dozer is a an 82-50 with a 671 detroit diesel

[@rowleks7102]

Your content is great man!

[@grinch1963]

The creature in the tree appears to either be a booger or a haint. Either way I would probably just burn it out. Good luck !!

[@jasonhanna2699]

looks kinda like a stuffed dragon toy, like maybe one from Puff the Magic Dragon or Pete's Dragon

[@OsoBlanco17]

Just found your channel and it’s awesome. Interesting content, narration and editing. Always enjoyed exploring abandoned places like that whenever I got the chance. We had an abandoned movie theatre and mini mall that was used by a wannabe satanic cult till the cops got rid of them. Lots of weird stuff left behind in the aftermath. I’ve also got a late 80s Firebird too so can’t wait for your next T/A update.

[@thedoubtfultechnician8067]

Thanks! Here’s the story with the trans am! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYrVaYCXhbhkb68

[@FirstNameLastName-ti4nc]

Very much This Old Tony vibe’s 😊

[@johnsmith-sp6yl]

your best bet for getting the k-whopper motor back is making a temporary bridge out of wood, bringing a flatbed/trailer over and putting some OSB down to lift it onto the trailer with an engine hoist. turbo could probably be rebuilt, same with engine and transmission. no clue how you'd get the funds to do it though.

[@joecummings1260]

Buy a backhoe and something with a brush hog, You're going to need it

[@rob2257]

NGL buddy, this video gives me anxiety. I love me some nature and old equipment too, but the desperation of the previous residents is palpable. You’ve definitely got some interesting old machinery to research though. I hope you can get some enjoyment and benefit out of some of it instead of just headaches.

[@user-KrackerJack]

Dude you scored huge on that property, would love to own a property like that damn

[@ehdrien5031]

I need more lore on this place and a video of it with fall leaves

[@marshallucky6809]

You might want to reach out to Matt at Diesel Creek about the Euclid dozer. He likes restoring the old stuff. It might be too far gone though. He’s out near Pittsburgh so not too far away.

[@thedoubtfultechnician8067]

I hope he’s a millionaire with poor judgement, because that’s my target market.

[@carry-hunt9710]

As a Midwesterner that creek is what you call the holler. Our grandparents threw their trash in there

I looked up mid flyover and thought you had an above ground septic tank. 12 points for Seattle representation.

[@herzogsbuick]

"Would drunk hooligans and part thieves, have carried the parts away from the road, 200 yards away from the truck itself, to leave them in neat piles? Or what about the large engine and other equipment? Or could it be, that the hooligans, aren't exactly what we think, and may be instead be on an intergalactic spring break, as some Ancient Astronaut theorists contend? "David Hatcher Childress explains."

[@chadg739]

Im thinking maybe someone owned on the vehicle's and dismantled them to keep them from being recovered?

[@Johnny-jr2lq]

I’m genuinely curious how did they get that kenworth motor and transmission 300 yards away from the tractor???? Same with the cars

[@paytonstewart4606]

not sure if you check comments on old vids but that black pressed steel toy car at like 8mins might be worth like a hundred bucks

I put Jaco Lightning Air chucks on all my portable inflators and shop air chucks and love them. I've tried pretty much every type and brand of air chuck out there, and I can say that the JACO is by far the best. No affiliation with their company either; I just love the product. They aren't cheap, but work exceptionally well. You can wiggle and yank on them and not only do they stay securely attached to the valve stem, but virtually zero air leaks when you remove the chuck.
