I Can't Believe what this Old FREIGHTLINER Semi Scrapped out for!

[@allendavenport2164]

Loved seeing your guard cat, they so special. To me thats what makes these things interesting, is the adding normal every day stuff in them, guard cat was wonderful. Thats for some relief from tv.

[@billfeldman3234]

You did it

[@coryhoover01]

Wish I saw this when you released it.

[@jamesferrell9404]

Incase you need a title in the future. You can go through Vermont. They have what's called the Vermont loop hole. They register it and with the registration from them all state have to abide and register it. And if your state still issues titles on older vehicles than you can do it that way when you register back in your state. Just did this on a 2006 crown Victoria I bought to scrap. But it run and drove great so just did a little paper work and now it's my daily driver

[@Blegfisen]

Hi! Last summer I started subscribing to your channel. It was a little challenging - you speak quite fast! Now I get you all the time. You should really know how much I like your: use of time lapse, your choice of music and just being invited to see your daily day life! And then I really like to see your skills handling your big machine so delicately. Bravo!

Thanks Silas, at least you made some extra money and some people got parts at bargain prices! I don't get how people can say you sell too cheap, but won't drive a few hundred miles to get a good deal!

She had a farm in the Bayard Nebraska area. We used to visit in the 1950's when I was a kid. Like your videos, thanks for doing them. Sorry to see the old Freightliner go, as I put a million miles on one!! Thanks again, retired ol ron.

[@noahellis3672]

Hi, Silas. I really enjoyed the video and especially the music was pretty good too as well. Too bad that you couldn't sell the whole semi to someone but it is what it is. My dad once told my mom, when she wanted to keep some old furniture and other things just in case someone might need them, that you can't save everything. Some things need to go or soon you won't have enough room to live. Take care of yourself Silas.

[@morgansword]

Although sorry to see such a gallant old rig die this way, I agree it was time. I shared this video and even emailed different folks about this truck, some only a few short miles from you and they were looking for trucks. I really did do all I could. I live in alaska, and am seventy three so going myself to get it was just not in the cards. I doubt you read this but stranger things do happen

[@davidwoermansr]

People looking for a truck want to drive it people looking for parts probably would've been the ones to go to but that engine is a farm truck engine not a daily driven engine

[@morgansword]

@@davidwoermansr I like someone to try to defend someone for their actions. I like Silas and agree with his actions. I also have owned and was a professional driver of a fleet of trucks. I have been a professional mechanic for a large portion of my life as most know to run a business of large trucks, both highway and off highway rigs.... you should know how to work on them. I started working for my dad in the late fifties as a helper to him. I am a native man who was not allowed to go to white schools..,.. just the way things were then. I hold no offense to this as I got my own education in the army as well as working in the motor pool for two years certifications earned were in diesel mechanics. I have heard of tuning a engine for farm applications or as a unrestricted fuel engine because of not needing to pass emissions for the highway. All said and done,... no such thing as a farm truck if its hauling grain to market... those trucks... example is Welker farms, they did shows showing rebuilds of their farm licenced trucks that had to haul grain (Products) to their markets or even cole the cornstar has some videos of his brother and their working hard on trucks they pick up to fix for farms or highway use. I will never make a statement to lead you or anyone else wrong about the mechanical stuff because it was my bread and butter for a good many years. If you mention my first name Morgan in the southeast alaska communities, you will find I was known by that name as a good mechanic and machinist/fab work from the late seventies up to 84. I only moved to anchorage to keep my son alive as long as I could. He had infantile Leukemia. I spent from my own pocket every dime I had including selling everything I had to do this. He came down with this horribly deadly disease on his mom's birthday in october.. and in the start of two years or twenty months later, on june twelfth at 2:26 pm, he looked at me knowing I and his mother were by him said I love you momma and po.... gone! I am sorry for a very poorly structured sentence or all of them for that matter. English to me is almost a second language as we spoke our Hyda language as much as possible for Nana or grand mother was only able to speak the native tongue so respect for her was extremely high. If I offended you by replying with poor english, I humbly apologize for it and just cuss me as many do not like the native man. I had five very beautiful daughters and there was no shortage of boys calling.... mostly white boys as our numbers are not high in the population and we do not intermarry among ourselves. I now am way off of subject.. Almost any later model engine put out by cummins or other major manufactures have records of their engines as warranty and many parts are only one engine series specific so ordering say a water pump. You put in year, model and applications to find it and it will come back with long or short shaft, high mount or low mount style (ask any repair shop that does professional work)... you just can't give too much information on your engine or other parts .. information is your best lead or friend. I agree that people like to test a engine or whole rig and Silas mentioned he was selling it as a parts rig for the title would prove hard to replace and anyone going to DMV, will attest to how its quite hard to get titles that are lost or a rig just abandoned to field, or wrecking yards...etc. Any transmission that would fit this truck.. even a bad transmission, say case is cracked in a wreck would cost more than he asked for this rig. I can tell you that until a Chinese nock off came to be, radiators will for big rigs cost as in a range of used about a thousand and rebuilt are high, no one works for free. A new radiator is probably and now just guessing at prices, I haven't bought parts now for a quite a few years. After I got crippled up in 2005, i worked as a parts consultant until my health put my on dialysis which just finally took me out. I am sorry I have wasted a good portion of your day trying to read something our gradeschool children could do much better at. In a longest reply to your statement of a farm engine, this was not a farm only truck because it carried licence and required lighting, exhaust, mud flaps, etc that are obvious to a persons eye. That truck was capable of being driven to anywhere in state or depending on his carrier permits able to go across country just like any other highway truck. I sent this by personal e-mail to Gentry and sons located in Tennessee this truck was available. I have spoke only by email with Tim and so with the many he has subscribed... I really doubt he would remember me by name or other as he has no reason to. I really do like helping some find pieces or parts for different stuff if I can.... this reply is just way way too long. I in short am saying this is not a farm only engine and even if it was, a block that could be rebuilt is in the range of a couple thousand dollars and shall say if you can even find a able to run engine for that price. I could go on for days and to tell the truth said too much. So sorry if I offended you

[@davidwoermansr]

Huh

[@timatwell3728]

@@davidwoermansr how do you figure that's not a daily driver Cummins is the only engine you can get in new trucks today that was a great engine not a farm engine it's more popular then Detroit or cats even though people want cats more but you can't get rebuild parts for them now same with Detroit's there hard to get but there are parts for the older Cummins

One of those auctions is the one that you were upset with me cuz your dad bought a Dodge truck through them and it wasn't anything that it was reported to be. I used to buy several things through them but stopped as well. But I'll look and you know all that's not worth a quarter at the bank because talk's cheap.

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025]

@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch that is an excellent point! I actually bought a little house for various reasons. A reasonable distance away from where I keep a whole group of cars. Because when I come in and see all these cars to get wide-eyed and get the Walmart price list out. I've actually had people say will you'll never going to do anything with all these cars and then I say well at that all for you just made I can guarantee you won't be doing anything with any of them. I don't generally sell local. But the reason why I bought that house as far as car-related. Is to take the car truck whatever it is I want to sell and put it over there. I'll finish the house and either sell it or rent it out. But that's beside the point. That way I don't have them coming back in and wanted me to give stuff away. I don't normally sell local. They never want to pay anything. But that's true across the country seems like because friends of mine they'll sell things online and I'll drive to the neighbor's house literally once I did. And get what I see as a good price on something I bought. He tells me I don't sell local cuz I can't get anything out of it. I'm not sure why that has to be what it is. What about a Vermont title for that semi-tractor you just scrapped out whenever that was? I'm not done it but I know other people who have multiple times. I just thought I'd throw that out to you. I'm sure you already know about it. Well you're a busy guy thank you for replying it was rather quick. Sometime between now and fall I'd like to get out to your place because I have an interest in the old grain trucks.
