Every time i hear a Detroit Diesel it’s a good time!

I feel the same way buddy. Especially when it's belching out a little black smoke. Hell yeah

Imagine being able to go there and hear that beast in action. Would be a happy day. Smelling that smoke as it's crushing mmmm fuck yeah

[@alvintorres8787]

I've been to a salvage yard where the same type of crusher would force itself to go all the way down regardless of what was in it. I told one of the workers "Wow, that thing really crushes those junkers" He replied "yeah, but it breaks down often" I figured there wasn't a hydraulic by-pass valve, or it didn't work, or it worked off a switch when the ram hit bottom. The ram had a bad bow in it, and it looked pretty worn. There is a risk of blowing a seal or hose. I had that happen to me, I had to help move with a 4000lb forklift I used to help move an 8-ton gearbox, well it didn't work out well. We had one big forklift on one side, while I had to get on the other side with the smaller forklift to help move it. I wound up bending a fork and caused a hydraulic seal leak. I was told to get on that smaller forklift, I was a contractor at the time at a big manufacturing facility.

If you don't mind me asking, what is Zoobecks?

[@autorecyclers9154]

Zoobecks was a local pet store that was a fixture in our town. It burned down years ago.

Man that was a blast to watch that van get crushed by that beastly detroit diesel. Do you think you could squeeze them old school buses in there? Hehe

[@autorecyclers9154]

An old bus as long as it can get started in there will go. Usually we have to taper the roof to get it through the funnel to the crush block, once it starts into the crush block it will taper itself. Thank you for watching and commenting

One ton dually is no problem. Thank you for watching and commenting

How much for the van I like the paint job

[@davidoliver7008]

Seriously want it

[@LongIslandMopars]

Hopefully no old Mopars get crushed. I could always use spare parts and sheet metal.

[@autorecyclers9154]

No, we don't crush any older vehicles even if they are very parted out. Even the van we pulled the engine, transmission, and rear end out of it before crushing it. Plus we have many more of the Dodge vans in better shape. I have a nice one that is complete in great shape to sell whole. Call, text, or email with any part requests and we can see if we have the parts you need. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@LongIslandMopars]

@@autorecyclers9154 sounds good. 1966 Coronet parts are of interest to me

[@autorecyclers9154]

We don't have any 66 Coronet out here, we do have a 66 VIP 4-door, a Newport 4-door, and a Fury 3 2-door in those years.

[@LongIslandMopars]

@@autorecyclers9154 ok, cool. I will share the info with my Mopar club

[@jakertheelaborater2573]

It had cool paint work on it, sad to see it go

[@autorecyclers9154]

Yes, it was kind of a fixture in our town. It was not in great shape and we have many more that are in better shape. We pulled most of the good parts engine, transmission, rear end, and miscellaneous body parts before crushing it. Other than the cool old paint there was nothing left.
