- It has been super busy out at the yard! I couldn't find a home for this old International school bus, so I used the excavator to rip it apart and pack it in the dumpster!

Come with me as I take you along for a ride in my world!
Still working on doing that 2 videos a week thing again 😅 Don't forget to drop a like on this video!
I would entertain,,, a idea of buying a 1971 Chevy C60 air brake truck front end from you if you find one,but at a low price, I’m in need of the grill and radiator and core support and headlights and buckets ,bolts and front bumper In good shape, ok thanks buddy let me know if you get one in ,remember 1971 Chevy C60 truck ,,, thanks
Roughly 73 Ford LTD burnt bronze orange wagon the one you saved from demo derby years ago. I've got one just like it complete minus the engine. Rust free. I've been sitting in the barn for about 40 years. 302 probably have in it. I'm assuming because that car is way too heavy for a 302.
Silas if 1 video a week is all you can do that is ok. Unless YT pays bills fulltime needs to be part of your week not a focus of it.
@@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525 tell me more!
@@fomocopowersgarage7103 the engine has a chip piston ring. Now only being 23 🤣🤣 years old it's marvelous that I was able to acquire this car back in 1985. I drove the car home. It has an interesting back story, but I'll just stick with the car. I horse traded a Chevy nova. The Nova was a great. It was probably three times with the wagon was during the time of trade. I can't tell you how many miles a car has on it I have not looked at the odometer since I don't know when. I believe I have the full deluxe deluxe hubcaps. It has the same rims and tires on it as it did in 1985 ish. The car is virtually identical to the one Monaghan used. Now I'm talking about actor and I guarantee you that I butchered his name. Anyway he played the beach bum really well blonde hair protective too many recreational toks. At least as a character he played. Anyway on some surfer Beach bum movie he had the exact same wagon exact color everything. I'm not going to claim the interior is perfect but it is super good. I think I even still have the keys for it. It ran Winter Park until I took the engine out of it. Tore it down greased it wrapped in plastic hand-built a specific wooden crate for it. As far as I know even still has the floor mats. I have honestly thought about putting a cop engine in it that's a coyote. But other things have kept me interested. It is real simulated leather vinyl seats. I believe the inside of the car is a tan color. I'm doing some memory. I have not laid eyes on the car in a year's time and then I was just passing by the car. Anyway the car is complete. Unlike the one that we saw on silas's show where the backlash was missing and appeared to have been arrested out around it. It's it's all there. Now with that being said I couldn't tell you that the transmission is still sitting in there or not. And I'm not sure which crate that engine's in. I have numerous crated engines transmissions and other parts. I had something else you might be interested in as well. I'm thinking it's a 1953. But it's a custom line 2-door. Original paint. But the paint is almost taken over by surface rust. It has an overhead valve V8 I believe the first year. It also has factory overdrive. The station wagon has been on site for around 40 years. The custom line has been in the family for probably 60 years. I know how you like the technical stuff about your Fords. I've got a 68 Ford wagon give or take and has been sitting there for approximately 45 years. It's in between the other two Fords as far as condition. But it also has a fantastic interior given the age of the car. Let me know if you want to know something else more about any of these
I'm a real fan of that copper-tone Ford Wagon, I hope it gets restored.
Weird. RUclips hid my other comment lol
We had 2 of those back in the 70's ,unfortunately both got stolen, found one burned 🔥 out in the fresh kills landfill & the other one got stolen & I found it a few hours later minus the new tires & some parts
I think I rode that bus home from school a couple of times in kindergarten 😅
You are right. That was a light indicator telling you what lights are working and which are not. They are called 8-ways. Used to drive a school,bus.
Silas you amaze me with the precision, you rule that machine just like you are an extension of the skid steer ,years of getting to know your work has been a lifelong endeavor.Thanks for the relaxing videos
I just love the way you prune trees. Thanks for the bus ride also
Wow, that was fascinating how U made that bus come apart and you did it so fast😊
International gas engines are incredibley built and run so strong.
You sure have great adventures on your channel Silas! I had a great time watching you have fun in your yard! Thanks again.
Thanks man! It was bittersweet seeing my buddy Dan in a couple clips, thanks for leaving him in there though!
Excellent silas when I was younger used to worry about running out of things to do what was I thinking getter dun cheers 🥂 😊
GOOD STUFF!
Know u can't save everything but seeing trailer load leaving intact warms my heart ♥ excellent silas 😊
👍🤠
@@JohnShinn1960 🔥😎
Silas that was so great every thing was different never boring always an adventure thank you for sharing and your time.
You should save that fan they come in handy if or fan quits to defrost you can use it or to move air around in cab of anything
Silas, That thing you saw mounted in the school bus we called it "ELMO" electric light monitor. It would tell you if you had a light out
Also when you were up front you should have pulled the service door lever as it was in the locked position
ELMOS are still in use today
Nice fresh new channel icon and homepage header.
I noticed! 👍🤠
😎
One hell of an operator
Been waiting all day for this video to post!
That's awesome keep the old truck scrap the bus .lol
I love the old cars and trucks
Thanks for sharing
That bus had a really cool patina on it. But at the end of the day, it’s a huge vehicle and you need a lot of space to park it in. Plus it needed a whole lot of work to clean it out to a presentable shape, and probably needed considerable expenditure of time and money to get it road worthy. It sounded like all the people interested in the bus were short on funds to purchase the bus and also did not have the means or funds to transport it. So away it went.
I came up with plenty of ideas for what I would have done with it. But that’s all they were. Ideas. No real plans or desire to actually do anything with it.
That school bus, have a nice patina.
Thankyou silas , enjoyed this episode😊
Always enjoy the videos 😅😅
I wish I lived closer. I’d donate my time to help, just to get some junk to take home LOL. It’s just to long of a drive from south of Topeka.
Those are some cool toy tow trucks
Having fun now!
I don't think some folks realize just how strong you are... toilets are heavy, awkward pains in the butt... frankly so are International Hoods.. and man can those things crush fingers.
WOW 👌 man that was a great video. Thanks 😊 I'll look forward to seeing 👀 many more 😀
Great 👍 video
I sure hope that the guy buying the Ltd wagon is actually going to be fixing it up and putting it back on the toad
1500 bucks for that bus is a steal!!! Here in Indiana it wouldve been gone!
Keep up the interesting videos!
Cant save them all,thumbs up, great video
Good stuff :)
Hello once more from North Yorkshire, England. What a nice mix of subjects on this download. I don’t know what the weight of that Camery hybrid battery was. I just hope that you look after your back Mr Silas . Bye for now .
Vintage Bus beat the Dust - well done Silas - You got some Brilliant Parts from it anyway - its a little Money Maker - ah ! This was a very busy Video - NO Rest for the Wicket ! Very enjoyable Video and many Cheers from Australia !!!!
The ashtray’s sell decent in the big ford. The ball bearings get lost often.
camper people would like that hybrid battery for their solar setups
Adventures made from scratch thanlks for sharingh this video with me and God Bless.
Already hit the LIKE and dropped a COMMENT 👍
Awesome video Silas, I was wondering if that bus was built in Mitchell indiana ?
Dang I'd like to see more of that Corvair! Appeared to be a '62 or '63. Certain parts/options are definitely worth pulling off. I was hoping you'd just put it out with that '60 coupe you got about a year ago! Great video, we definitely enjoy 2 videos a week, versus just one!
Now you know why people always bought Corvairs in pairs dont ya? So they had one to bury and one to cover it up with
I love ur video an the old trucks you get if I ever get the money this Canadian boy coming to Kansas to get a truck off you an drive it home 😊
Yes Sir!!!
Did you save that Mopar rally wheel? That bothered me because I need a set...
You should've put some play money on an old commode .& advertize it as Johnny Cash'es toilet
Good video Silas
Yes one more Peace out
great vid as usal
Thanks Silas, i'm not surprised you have tons of video footage unedited -every video you put out has a ton of work gone into it! That school bus, are the chrome grab handles, door and closing mechanisn worth saving? Would the rear end cut off sell as a wall hanger or repurposed, like as a storage idea for someone? Just throwing ideas out there, crazy that no-one steps up to buy it whole, but no doubt all complain when the jaws of death rip it apart!
You were selling it for 1500 but nobody else would pay your price but you made more scrapping it and selling it for 2000 bucks that's a win-win in your pocket😊
I see you added color to your logo cool
Chevy make a neat parade. Truck😅😅
I like the old school bus u were walking in front of
Hellow buddy
Thanks for your cool video. What a lot of cars in the other yard. I see a lot of cars from the late 50s into the 70s, and more modern ones of course. Are there many vintage cars still driving around your area? Beautiful though! What is your absolute favorite car ever? Thanks for your video, and I look forward to the next one.
What about all the other school buses? 😊
Awesome always cool stuff always thanks
👍👍
You made that bus dissappear nice and quick like, makes me wonder how it would've fared in a rollover crash.
Stayin tuned! 👍🤠
Note:
31:16 From what I understand about those lithum ion batteries, with a charge and dent it in the "right" way you can have a real nice toasty fire that's pretty much impossible to put out. They supply their own fuel, oxygen and produce toxic gasses.
Where a mask silas!!!😊
You mentioned that you have a die cast car collection. Can you make a video on it?
♪ The Wheels On The Bus Go ♫ ..... In The Dumpster
11:58 little black car at left? Is it an Austin 1100 or 1300?
Very collectable these days!
Did you keep the bus safety light thing that was at the 2:27 time mark on the video? If so what are you asking for it?
Sold it a couple months ago, sorry
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratchSo satisfying watching you tear buses apart with the excavator.Have a few of those matchbox tow trucks silas one version has the yellow cab & green rear & the other has a green cab with the yellow rear .
I like to edit videos for fun. If you like I would be willing to help you out
1 minute and im here 😊
I hope it's not going to a different derby guy. That looks too good.
The Ford wagon is a beautiful car. Show people that one when they say you never save anything. We see why the bus had to go but it was a bargain at $1500. Too bad no one wanted to save it but it was a money maker. I recommend you don’t burn the candle at both ends to the point where you miss seeing your kids grow up. One video a week can be plenty. Great content though, very wholesome and kids can watch. I like a couple of others but they aren’t for kids due to language. Best to you and your family always
This is a mostly complete bus and with a mother that turns freely and they called you crazy oh well i guess its there loss
Very good video Silas I really enjoyed it be careful a man that used to work with my mother one of them Hydraulics come down and killed him be careful sir
So the mack is gone?
Not sure what Mack you’re referring to. The one in my live video is still here
Silas when I was a kid our school bus had those lights showing the signal lights. Not sure if it was for the students or for the driver.
You can't save them all. You can't pay your bills buying stuff and have it sit around.
We need to get Silas to one million subs.
This hardworking man has earned it!
That old bus wasnt really in bad shape
Yeah it was kind of a shame but buses have an extremely limited market
Estimate just under an hour to rip the bus apart
Not counting the time I spent nicely pulling parts, it took about 15 minutes to rip it apart and another 10 to clean up the mess.
Doesn't anybody hang out around the Home Depot in Hutch...... did I miss it or what are those things you were getting ready to go but they cut the price...
You need some counter weight on your case tractor
U said it's 20 degrees [wow]>
It's 72 in Oxnard California .
I was hoping that when it came time to move the crusher, that you would just place it closer to the gate. Just smart... plus more room in the yard for... treasures eh haha.
And I'm with you on the cool mornings, you can WORK and not be drenched in sweat. You can only take so many layers off 😂😂
But keep on keeping on 👍🏼
Cruise missile has made contact.
Feller ya got any 77 ford highboy f250 4x4 parts fer sale
seen many older chevy trucks with that color engine
Whats the second channel called plz
Silas can you squash a car into a cube please
I hit the like button as always but it didn’t count
Can i please have an opportunity to buy the toyota battery i need it for my solar storage wall build. Please let me have the chance to get at the battery it would be a major help if possible
I have it listed for sale for $700 now
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch I emailed you
Aren't you afraid doing all that heavy work you might hurt yourself and not be able to have anymore kids?
I sure get tired of people calling you crazy I think that $1500 a reasonable asking price for this old bus I've seen older cars and trucks stripped down to a shell priced higher than that
This is a old video no leaves and your warning a coat
Can't save them all and moneys money. People go to a store and buy groceries. Around eighty dollars a bag yet wonder why you don't sell it a lot cheaper. I see that you sell a ton of pieces off of these old rigs like the dash pieces and would of never thought of value there.
Good video Silas
