- THIS PLACE WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!! It's absolutely incredible what we'll find as we explore "The Forgotten Junk Yard!"
Join me on this episode of Rescuing Old Iron, where we'll start by exploring the incredible MACHINES and MACHINE TOOLS that are here. The Machine Shop is literally falling in on itself, there is AWESOME Heavy Equipment that hasn't run in YEARS, and an entire Semi Tractor / Trailer Rig out in the woods!
That's not to mention, there are more tools here than we could even spend time looking at, and ALL that is before we look at the HUNDREDS of OLD CARS & TRUCKS here on the property!!
I was amazed at all of the different types of things I found here! If I was AMAZED at this place, I promised you will be just as amazed, if not MORE!!
I feel honored to be able to explore all the incredible history this place has, and I would LOVE it if YOU joined me as I uncovered things you'd never think to see in a place like this!!
This is going to be a two part series, and I promise, you DON"T WANT TO MISS PART 2 of this tour! It's truly AWE Inspiring!
This is part one, but Part 2 will be the Tour of ALL of the Old Cars & Truck that are here at the "Forgotten Junk Yard". These vehicles range from the 1940's on into the 1990's, but MOST cars are older than 1970, which is CRAZY!!
In this series "Rescuing Old Iron" here at Salvage Workshop, I'll show you where I discover MANY amazing old machines that have been there for 10, 30, or even 100 years! Everything you see me haul back to the workshop has been purchased from the owners, and now has a new lease on life! We'll talk about the history of the places I take you to and have a little fun PICKIN' in search of buried treasures!

Do you ever wonder WHERE all the Old Rusty Tools & Machines being restored on RUclips come from? For some, they find them on the Bay, or FB Marketplace, CL, or from friends, but that's always AFTER someone else has already DISCOVERED them!!
I'll take you on an adventure where we'll discover these old tools & machines right where they've been living for a LONG time! If you love machines like these and you enjoy adventures, then I hope you enjoy this new series here at Salvage Workshop!
I am always on the hunt for amazing OLD iron machines! Finding these gems, & meeting the incredible people along the way that have had them is truly a PASSION of mine!
Join me as I Rescue OLD Iron here at Salvage Workshop!
I'd love to know your thoughts on this adventure!

It's easy to judge people in situations like this, but I highly suggest avoiding that, you don't REALLY know why things are the way they are!
I agree it is crazy, but I can't tell you how many places I've been to like this! You have to understand the mindset of "idea people" (like me), they have HUGE plans for things and see potential in things that most people don't, even if that means REPURPOSING something... Many times life happens and many of those plans never get accomplished... BUT that doesn't eliminate the desire to accomplish their dreams or ideas, whatever they may be!
Plus people who have lived with the depression era mindset, (hang onto EVERYTHING, because YOU NEVER know when you'll need it), bring another dimension to hanging onto things... we live in a throw away society today, they DID NOT, and many times they STILL don't!
My opinion would be that MOST times it's NOT greed that makes someone keep things like this, the greed usually comes once someone else inherits the property and all they see is $$$$, even if it's not worth much of anything at all!
Trust me, these people, their knowledge, & their collections are disappearing QUICKLY!
I've gotten to the point where I just enjoy the people I meet through my crazy journey's & the amazing places they so kindly let me visit, and if I'm able to rescue some of their treasures, then I feel truly honored!
merci beaucoup pour votre réponse qui a beaucoup de sens pour moi, vous êtes bien un sauveteur tant de travail précieux à restauré et à conserver, j’apprécie. Pierre de Vierzon France.
thank you very much for your answer which means a lot to me, you are indeed a rescuer so much precious work to be restored and preserved, i appreciate it. Pierre de Vierzon France
G'day Matt, sorry it's been a while mate. The vehicle thing doesn't interest me as much as the old machinery so it was good to see you digging thru all that gold again
Fully agree with you on the reasons and values of the ppl that keep soooooo much stuff. It's fantastic that you find such lovely old junk but also kinda sad that it is there to be found😊😢
Recently I came across an old Rockford drill press that I will restore one day, beast of a thing and very rare to find in Tassie.
Also great to see that the channel has grown so much👍
All the best mate 🍺
that is a cool junk yard . i my self would love to get in that machice shop. but im to far . im in illinois. thank you god bless Eugene from illioiis.
You Sir are Absolutely Correct. And its a Shame we live in a Throw away Society...People dont have a Clue of going without...If they did they would treat the things they have with RESPECT...But thats a Whole other Conversion....You put it TOO A T...with this Message. Thank You for sharing. For a Young Man You have a lot of Insight to why people did these kind of Things Great Job...
Well said, life does happen and time waits for no man. I never judge people like this, what we see as a pile of junk, was once somebody's hopes and dreams.
Man this is just insane! Its almost criminal that all that machinary is just rusting away...a shame, please do everything you can to save as much as you can!
Exately
It's somewhat also because of greed. They rather let stuff rot than give it away cheap. Oh you want this rusted lathe that has been outside for 10 years? That will be 1500$.
The owner should be publicly shamed. This is just a ridiculous amount of waste and neglect. This video was hard to watch
Love the video! I could spend days or weeks just looking through all the cool stuff!
@@bfe671 I think thats a bit much, i see it a lot myself, i collect vintage carpentry tools and quite often il open an 100 year old tool box thats been sitting in somebodies garage and its all far past repair, its such a shame because a lot of the stuff i see rot away are thing that people would love to own and cherish.
Unbelievable, it nearly makes you cry to see the potential of almost everything there!
I can feel the urge to clean up/fix up so many of those things, but I've gotten to a point in life where I know I can't do it all. So I just sigh and admire.
I'm right there with you brother. So much that I'd like to get my hands on but I have no room and I'm getting too old.
If u got even a small work bench start with that
There is a lifetime of stuff there. Would take a small army of dedicated u-tubers to get that stuff running.
Together with channels like "The proper people" about abandoned stuff, it's amazing to me we leave so much valuable stuff to weather away, So much is totally salvageable and usable.
The story behind the building is what interests me. Like did the draw cutter just stop working mid cut. Or did it get turned off one day after work. Then never started again.
That looks like old heavy iron heaven to me. Few months ago I've rescued an old german camelback drill, which was laying in a field since 1960.Had to disassemble it to fit it through the door of my workshop, and only had to clean and grease it to work properly. Love your channel and attitude!!
I could never walk in a place like this, I'll take it all home
I can definitely agree with this. I would take it all even tho I have no room for it all. 🤣🤣
I DO want to take it all home, but I need a bigger shop first!
@@SalvageWorkshop that's the problem with me. I have a shop, but its tiny. Also I'm only 16 so there's only so much I can do.
Me too
@@tinytruck1200 keep up your dreams and persue the field you want when I was in high school I attended a trade school and took heavy equipment best decision I ever made if you keep working towards your dream you always achieve it
That kenworth and lowboy set up is so perfect. Dang get that running and haul out that old loader!
I don't know about you...but I smell the 'International Brotherhood of You Tube Restorers and Renovators" annual convention !!
Those old 966 loaders hold a special place in my heart.
The first place i lived at, up until i was 8 years old, was an apartment in the bottom floor of a house. the landlord lived upstairs and he had one of those machines parked out front. he used it to clear snowing during our harsh Norwegian winters.
I'd sit in my bedroom by the window, watching him work that thing for hours during the winters. Pretty sure that's what sparked my interest in heavy equipment and caused me to get an education and eventually a job within the field.
Think at some point later in life, I want to get one of those and restore it to mint condition and get it back to work.
Do it! And film it please.
That is AWESOME!! Isn't it crazy the things that affected our passions and what we decided to do with our lives?!? Thanks for sharing yours!
@@SalvageWorkshop 966A = future project!
save as much as you can. old school machinery,,,,gold!!
"That thing has seen better days" Truer words were never spoken. And a reminder that there was a time when things were made in USA.
Oh yeah !! More picking...... this is a man's video right up my alley !! I was getting goosebumps through this entire video !! I haven't seen or used a lot of theses old machines for 20 sum odd years !! All the drills and milling cutters and lathe tooling just laying in the dirt all rusty blows my mind completely . I say yes those drills and cutters can be saved cleaned up and oiled and they should be just fine as long as they are not damaged or deformed .The vice with the tree is classic and holding the wall up !! I would have to take months and sort through it ALL I would be scared I would miss something !! This man loved to work on all types of things and build things and saved and collected my kind of guy !!! You can learn a lot from a guy like this . Wow that service station jack has my last name !! Part one was AWESOME !! Part 2 will be EPIC !! Mike will always be a amazing man in my book some people look down on a guy like this . Some folks don't like to see places like this they think they are horrible to look at you know what I say DONT LOOK THEN !! I say he is part of a lost and dying breed of people who made things and fixed things with there own hands . And wanted to know how this worked or how this looked inside . Something broke they fixed it, and they fabricated there own creations. This is where you help saved some of it from being lost forever I truly love your channel !! 👍👍
I feel a CAT 966 'will it start and move' episode coming on! An amazing eclectic selection of old iron and machine tools. I am someone will be interested in some of it rather than it all going for scrap. Thanks for spending the time to share with us.
That’s a gosh darn gold mine! Pick wisely what is scrap and what is not.👍
That's an incredible collection, hard to believe it would just be left behind like that, very very cool!!
It's hard to imagine how many lives, stories and different destinies are hidden under the shoots of trees, foliage and mature trees in this old dump of history! Secrets that we will never know or solve! But thanks to you and those like you - something can be brought back to life!
I'm not really interested in heavy iron myself and at seventy years of age simply could not address all the issues I have seen so far, but by the Gods if I was forty years younger and had a pocket full of cash there are things in there I would truly want. You syrr are in hog heaven.
This is unbelivable. So many worshop machines, cars and... man this is crazy. I'm so exiting just for watching this video.
That second lowbed trailer is a neat find. It even still has the original Trilex wheels on it! Them ole wheels are getting about as scarce as rocking horse poop to find!
Please, please salvage everything! Every piece of machinery, every small tool, every press, everything! For most of this equipment, the quality will never be made, again. We are trusting you to do what we cannot. Save American made treasures!
It is so sad to see all that great stuff rotting. Rescue it all!
Hand tool rescue would love this place.
Every cutter can be saved. To sharpen them back you need a specialized machine for that. I use to work in a tractor factory and we had a machine shop dedicated for sharpening tools.
Great time watching this, you could show anything and it would be amazing. Thanks to the owner for letting you video this, for letting us see. The effort you have put into the place of late is huge. It builds dreams and inspires those of us that see beneath the rust.
So much good stuff. I would have a hard time deciding what I wanted the most.
Yeah I have that problem too!
I'd like to have that Kohler generator with the 4 cylinder flathead.
I like the old cars but love the old machinery. Could spend the rest of my days working on old stuff like that...
This is one of the most manly vids I've seen in a while.
Thanks Salvage.
Kia ora (means Hello in Maori) I so love your mahi (work) that you do in salvaging all these old machines and tools...
Things built back in the day were built to last a lifetime..... and it is so great that you are bringing all these old machines and tools back to life after they were discarded for the newer toys to play with.
The newer machines and tools of today are not meant to last long as society has become a throw away society... and that is so sad.
I love old machinery, tools, cars and motorbikes... the vintage & classic... to see something from its beginnings and wonder about the mind that invented them... to see them in action... or even to try and figure out what the tool was or even how it worked.... Sadly today most things are plastic... and break easily and then thrown away... or they want the latest gadget... when there is nothing wrong with the old.
Then society wonders why we have so much rubbish building up... well hello... it isn't that hard to figure it out...
Kia kaha (stay strong) and be safe from the covid-19 virus from this kiwi in Aotearoa New Zealand. :-)
Teenei te mihi ki a koe Andrea..Another fellow kiwi here from the Waikato👍🏾
The low boy and semi would be an awesome rescue
Yes it SURE would!! We shall see!
@@SalvageWorkshop so would the loader and the semi
“Hey look they got a horse”! I was waiting for you to say something like....the horse, the original “machine” because before the industrial revolution the horse was mans most valuable tool and or machine! Think about it...man would breed different kinds of horses for different kinds of jobs much like man will make different machines to do different jobs today! It just took longer to develop the specific horse for the specific job. Think “Draft Horses”! What a great machine! The original “Horse Power”!😜
So unbelievable seeing all of these old bits of machinery, most if not all built with the highest quality of any produced in the world. Every piece of every unit should be put back into service. There are so many people out there that would love to see all of these treasures restored.
That old machine shop tells a story of a couple generations of people working there, it was probably never the best machine shop to ever be but I bet they did a lot of work for a lot of people!!!
Just clean everything up and be Amazed . Wow!
Those cylinder breakdown machines, last one I saw go at auction, a fist fight nearly broke out bidding on it.
Interesting!
@@SalvageWorkshop If you are in the business of rebuilding hydraulic cylinders, it's a god send to have one. You might try reaching out to some local hydraulics shops, to the right guy it's worth the time.
I agree. That is a very valuable piece of equipment to anyone who has enough equipment to justify repairing and installing packing kits in their own shop.
They are worth several times their weight in gold.
Yes, they can and should be saved ! The steel is so hard and of good quality, the rust pitting if any, will be so minor, it would be hardly noticeable. Just imagine the replacement cost. It's mind boggling. Yes, save them !
Without a doubt!! What a treasure trove... And the Machinery, You could make anything !
No thank you for brightening my Sunday afternoon it’s an excellent journey mate
That place is amazing. It’s like an outdoor museum.
That big CAT 966, wow, would be so cool if you could do like a "will it run?" Video on that!
Wow there is more then a couple of lifetimes of stories there , each piece of gear has a long story to tell.
You might get hold of Keith Rucker of Vintage Machinery or Adam of Abom79. Do some wheeling and dealing. I know Keith is always on the lookout for K&T milling machine parts and accessories.
Exactly who I was thinking of.
just wow.
Now surely that would pay to have somebody make a clearing put a shed up and collect all of the stuff put tickets on it for sale for the owner instead of it all going to waste rusting and rotting away I’ve not been to a scrapyard for years they are so interesting places nice video mate
Save what you can!
I love seeing places like this. All I see is potential. Pull an old machine out of the dirt. Tear it down, clean it up, fabricate what's missing, put it back into service. Modernize it where it makes sense. Makes me wish I had a proper shop for things like that.
You and me both! Potential is EVERYWHERE! I love that!
@@SalvageWorkshop Me too
I can't keep watching this video... the envy is just overwhelming... What a candy store
The seat gets hard on the John Deeres & the safety switch inside the seat doesn't engage = no start or emergancy stop if your moving. I gave up trying to bypass the wiring & replaced the seat + seat belt. Very expensive but keep a seat cover on it now. It is a safety feature & you never know when accidents are gonna happen!
That is really good to know! Thank you!
Thomas.
YES, that what I thought. Because that WHOLE section raises. For safety NO start. It's got to be in the seat or seat belt area. But unless a guy who works on those Johndeer, skid steers, probably knows it by heart. It's got to be in the seat area. Maybe the switch is NOT making contact ( being old) when cab comes down.
NEW SUBCRIBER. You broke my heart running through all the great equipment. I was drafted into the Army from a large farm. My parents got divorced while I was gone. I was also in Vietnam '68. There was wonderful a junk yard about a mile from our house. We'd go there all the time and the owner was an expert on manufacturing and welding. You walked by a weigh scale I used. I'd pick up the 200 lb pigs and walk them onto the scale to weigh them. We had a lot of that equipment on our farm in our shop. It's all gone because of family crap. I worked hard all my life from age 7. Best to you👍. Eaglegards...
I can tell you were in heaven ,and I was your friend on your adventure.
Great vid. 👍
I love going through places like this! You NEVER know what you'll find!
All those tools have built America!
i am sitting here in Melbourne, Australia and just subscribed to your channel. I just love what you're about and share your passion. And not a snake to be seen. Sure not in Oz. lol
A sight to make one want to cry, not just for the machines and tools but the hard times the owner must have gone through to let things go the way they have.
That's an amazing variety of machinery. I would kill to have any of those metalworking machines to restore.
Ah takes me all the way back to childhood and shopping with mom and grandma. I want this and this and that.
I’m sure it’s been said below but places like this make me sad and happy at the same time. Sad that so many of the wonderful tools and machines were built (overbuilt?!) by people long gone to this world, by brands that may no longer exist. BUT, they survive because they were made to last and could be repaired easily enough. They might yet run again if the right person finds them and knows their value. That’s the bit that makes me happy.
Sadly places like this won’t exist in one hundred years because nothing we make today would last that long or have enough value to save, never mind the environmental consideration. Enjoy the journey, I’ll stay tuned.
Overbuilt?? America bro
Awesome video, awesome find.... I sold tools, machinery and cutting tools for 41 years and still look at or look for the old stuff. 🔧🗜️⚙️
Must’ve been a magnificent workshop at one time.
I would love to shop that place and Thanks to men that held on to that stuff when most would have scrapped it many years ago.
This place should be under the strict protection of the conservator of monuments. Not a single machine or tool should be scrapped! I'm waiting for part 2. Greetings from far away Poland :-)
I think the milling machine is not repairable within any economic sense, you can buy them here for less than a thousand dollars, even $500. And no rust!
@@RRaucina Machines too have the right to die. There's lots of precious metals there and they ought to be recovered.
@@RRaucina Right
Right
I was a welder in a big machine shop for 37 years and have seen all of those machines running even today they still run 50 years old machines! Get it while you can if the guys wants to get rid of it! You would actually be helping him out getting it off his property! My bosses would go crazy over that stuff 20 years ago! Their shop is so established now! He’s even set some of the old machines with computers!
The machine shop - I'll take all of it.
I initially thought that, up until I remembered my shop is already FULL!! LOL!!
I wonder if the owner would even consider selling all of it. At any price. Most guys who hoard stuff like this (not necessarily saying the current owner did all the hoarding), no amount of money will convince them to part with their treasures. It's like trying to buy their children. That's why when they die their families are stuck having to auction it off.
I could spend days going through all that stuff I love looking through that sort of you could spend the rest of your life restoring and selling it
wow that wheel loader honestly looks in great condition all considering
Honestly the thing would probably fire up and drive out of there
The number of antiques in this place is staggering!
That marvel 6a power hacksaw is fantastic!! I love my 14” Racine. Fantastic saws.
Drill bits are fine. Probably just need to be sharpened
Those lathes are sweet
So many treasures!
I love my Peerless from 1942. Probably 4,000#. $75 at the school shop auction.
@@RRaucina awesome! Mine was 300$ a few months ago. 400$ in spare blades came with it so it was a deal for me at least. It’s well paid for itself cutting up to 6” square stock. A bigger one would be awesome though.
Mine was originally in a machine shop and later in someone’s garage used for cutting wood haha
1960s I believe Racine 14” wet saw. I have a video clip on my channel showing it
@@JustinTopp Nice. I came from Racine and Kenosha too. The industrial heartland
I would love to see restore that prime mover and trailer and some of the old milling machines cheers thanks for the great content
Love the drone footage! That CAT cylinder machine has got to be saved!!!
Yeah that place wasn't correct without drone footage! The Cat Cylinder machine is still in use by Mike (crazy as that may seem!)
Considering the high cost of quality iron and steel in today's market, this stash is definitely a gold mine so to speak.
When you spotted that CAT WHEEL LOADER I could hear the gears grinding in your head! I told you in a previous OLD RED post that you now have the CAT SCRATCH FEVER LOL!
I remember that comment, funny thing is I had already filmed this when you left that comment and my first thought was of that Cat 966 wheel loader!! LOL We'll just have to see!! Old Red would enjoy the company!!
So cool.
What an awesome place, I was having trouble keeping up wanting to explore each frame of the video, i could spend months there just in awe of the various pieces of machinery in the shop let alone the equipment outside. I want to come and set up a camp there to explore from, that property is a gold mine! I hope you are able to save as much of it as you can, good luck with it all and keep on doing what you are doing, it is all fantastic!
That place is a gold mine
Definitely save the bits and cutters, older made parts tend to keep their cutting edge better than things today.
Also with the amount of variety you'd probably never have to buy one again!
Yeah that is true! Problem becomes, hauling it all out of there, then cleaning it, having the proper place to store it, and then organizing it in a way that I can find it when I actually NEED it! It's a LOT more work than you might think! (Don't get me wrong, I still may go for it!)
@@SalvageWorkshop yeah that's true, storage and cleaning is always the thing you over look I have cleaning jobs for finds lined up longer than I care for! If I was there is be grabbing every slab mill I could find, you can never have enough slab mills!
@@SalvageWorkshop Yes, be careful that in 40 years someone is not making a video of YOUR hoarded mess!
All those cutters and drills can be cleaned and sharpened. steve summers has videos on his channel showing how.
In my opinion when you get more than light rust on HSS tooling the cost of regrinding exceeds the value of the tooling take for example morse taper drill bits easy to regrind the tip but the taper will be pitted the cutting edge on the flutes will be blunt not easy to regrind
easier to get one off ebay I agree that the steel is likely to be of good quality
Love old junk yards, if not just to dream, THANX keep up the good work!!!
I'd have to rescue everything there, what an amazing place.
most of it is to far gone to rescue
I agree! I just need a MUCH bigger shop! There is plenty left worth saving!! We'll just have to see!
@@Bill-xc8le Sadly, true.
You can never have a big enough shop- for long! It always fills up.
@@SalvageWorkshop I hope you really realize how lucky of a find that is. There aren’t many old in touch machine shops like that
IDEA: Once Big Red is up and running around, for sure you will have calls for work/help. The low boy trailer is a no-brainer. Instead of the Kenworth, might consider a sizeable dump-truck. Many times when a Cat is required, so is the need for a dump truck. Cha-ching! And then even a smaller sized excavator is frequently needed. Voila - a new profession that makes great $$. Love the vids by the way.
[8:00] I think the drills would be saveable, because they are (relatively) easy to resharpen if you have the right sharpening jig (or skill).. evaporust and resharpen. The milling cutters might be harder- i suspect the cutting edges would be pitted and you would need a cutter grinder and considerable time to put new edges on them.
I have a 1942 hacksaw twice the size of that one and I paid $75 for it running and oiled up. Unless its a retired tool rescue guy with a year free time that gets it, its heading for the ladle. Thanks for the fantastic tour of a machine and tool cemetery. How would we live without You Tube?
I see one mans life and passion after he has gone and years of neglect
That's some place your lucky to be able to see and now these hideaways . with your now how I wouldn't now were to start respect to your friend great video thanks for your time simon
There's a metal stool near a lathe. They're becoming impossible to find. Good support for small tools too. Now don't laugh but I'd go after the metal roofing. Always useful and durable.
You know it's crazy back in the day when I used to do underground lift stations and manhole covers we used to use that same lowboy with the ramps to move are cranes and all kinds of stuff
Amazing. I knew you were in Heaven when the vid started,
I'm looking forward to part two.
It was a BLAST!! Thanks for watching & commenting! Part 2 will be fun!!
@@SalvageWorkshop I can't wait to see what else you take home and then follow you resurrecting it.
Fantastic, I like to have all no matter what, I know that is impossible but I enjoyed a lot to watch, and you are not alone here, this place is heaven for me too, waiting for the next part of this video.
if you can't get to all of it, definitely try to get it to some other ppl, there's for sure a lot of people who would love the opportunity!
Wow man if my grandfather was still alive and see this he will cry like a baby he was verry i to this cind of tools and machinery...i wish you the best
I know there is some good stuff on that property but I am just overwhelmed at what it would take to clean that place up! I can’t even imagine what it would cost! What a disaster!
The only saving grace if you will is the Metal and Its value now .. Could rake in a few bux and might end up at worst cover the costs or best Turn a Profit . I know here where i live you wouldnt have to pay a cent to have this stuff removed, ppl would come take all the metal and pay You for it . Where i live, you just have to put the stuff you dont want (i mean Anything) and within a few hours at most its All gone .. Scroungers and hoarders are abundant here lol ... Cheers.
@@fetus2280 I wonder if the metal even has much value now. I was watching a vid of a guy who removed all of the steel out of an old Titan II missile base (there's a lot) and the outfit he hired said the scrap steel value would only cover their fee for dismantling it. From what I've heard, scrap steel is going for peanuts (relatively) these days. Kind of amazing.
@@Calamity_Jack I was curious now and looked up the scrap price . Right now in the local area here its 225$ pt . So ya its got value .. explains why when i put out scrap here (computer cases and other misc stuff) is gone within the hour of me putting it to the road side . Thats just the Mixed Steel price . Cheers .
Should get those machines running one by one, you should get all that old tooling off the ground and out of the weather, it could all be saved. Keep up the great videos and God Bless
Again, I can hear you say "SCORE!" all the way here in 'L-TOWN' A.K.A Lancaster, SC!
I see someones life an passion in this property, I can only imagine age or health took it from him, it makes me sad seeing all the unfinished dreams. I also get joy in seeing the remnants of our ancestors hard work and passions. Seeing places like this just give me the feels. To any haters I just say, it's the owners stuff, he can do what he wants with it including breaking it or rusting it.
That’s like every mans wet dream lol I could spend all day there and I’d be afraid that it would empty my bank account lol
That's a gold mine, good to see it's being documented.
The Kenworth looks like an old "Ant Eater" AKA Kenworth T600 1984 to 2007
Awesome! Thank you!
@@SalvageWorkshop Sure! No problem. Now are you in OK, MN, MI? ? ? I'm going to have to watch old videos and see if I can see a license plate :-)
There is so much value there for someone willing to put in the effort to salvage and part out the inventory. Unfortunately those with that skillset likely will choose other career paths and what we see will have to be paid to be cleaned up and the inventory sold as scrap metal.
You need to buy the 966 CAT and get it running ;-)
OMG?! one man's treasure, it's a gold mine, a dream come true. To others is an eyesore, supper fund sight, another man's trash. But it is a huge something
Seeing this makes me sad. Not just for the equipment, but the fact that this feels like a junkyard version of a hoarder's house. Everything is just haphazardly placed and left. No attempt has been made to take care of anything. Even if it were an operating junk yard with customers coming to pick parts (maybe it is?), some sort of organization and minimal amount of care/upkeep should be done. Just removing all the actual trash, getting all the tires together, and sending true scrap off to recycling centers would make a world of difference.
Sad to see things end like this guy who owned it must been in his own little world at one time sadly time Flys by when your a busy person and b4 you know it life's over and only things left are the memories.
Give it another 2 thousand years-
Geologists will "discover" strange deposits of iron, steel, copper and rubber.
