Mr. Goodpliers heads off to another farm auction and picks 80 years of history. Ford trucks, a Chevy Nova, Plymouths, motorcycles, vintage bicycles, tractors and primitive farm equipment fill this abandoned farmstead!
Look like all the ole man's friends in the barn. Just living some old memory's. All the vultures at the auction. He had some cool stuff. Thanks for video. Good luck
That old John Deere with the home made buck rake would be a cool addition to the local antique equipment museum just the way it is. Would make a great conversation piece. I can visualize some old guys standing around it talking.
I thought about vultures at the auction - but thinking again they are keeping old stuff and probably cherishing it, which is good. Nothing and no one lasts forever. Sad but good to see old stuff wanted and of use. Lots of my stuff comes second hand from people I never knew and hopefully will one day go to new owners when I'm gone (if the kids don't want it).
That's funny, usually when they're scared they curl up in a ball and jump straight up in the air. Little guy made the right choice here instead of getting smooshed.
Well that big old station wagon will be the perfect gift for the wife to bring the kids to school in what with the school bus driver shortage all over the place,, I know that's how I used to get the school more than once, back then it was either that or walk
MrGp - you got me to thinking: The Indian Wars ended in the mid 1880's. The federal government officially closed the Frontier in 1894. By the mid-1880's, railroads went lots of places but, if you wanted to anywhere not served by a railroad, the only way was by stagecoah or horseback. Most people got around on "shank's mare" [on foot], or on horseback. Mail service was very good. Telegraph was available but pricey. Every town from the smallest on up had a newspaper, but the news they published was mostly local. News of national importance could take days or even weeks to reach the small towns of mid-America. In the early 1900's automobiles could be found in the larger cities, but they were expensive! It wasn't until the Model T exploded on the Anerican scene in 1908 that people could even dream of a personal automobile. Radio was invented in Italy in 1908, but it wasn;t commercially available in the US until the early 1920's. Silent movies were fun, but they were merely a distraction.The Spanish American War was troubling at the turn of the century but it wasn't until the Great War started in 1914 that people began to kill each other in a large, mechanizxed way. My conclusion from all this? The best time to have lived in America was the roughly 30-year perion between the end of the Indian Wars, and the start of the Great War.
Fascinating lesson, and food for thought. I guess it depends which continent you lived on, as far as which decade/century would be the pick. War definitely disrupts life, but the postwar productivity is a subsequent reward. The 1920s and the 50s would have been incredible times to participate in
Speaking of postwar periods the 1980's, especially the first half of that decade, were a really good time to be alive in America. Once we got over the oil shocks of 1973 and 1979 the the post-Vietnam boom was the best time I can remember.
Country squire wgn, what to do with it? Demo derby? Lol. The stude/Plymouth looking pedal car is cool. Never saw one before. Looks like you picked up some neat books as well. What a hoard the old guy had!
I liked his cab on the old deer looked good for homemade and the Honda XL 250 was in good shape looked like some one as got them a parts nova looks like .great video thanks for sharing love the rusty gold
I'm amazed at the accumulation of stuff that people save and have on these old farms. Doesn't look like they ever got rid of anything. BTW, I think I know what the magazines were that had the Camel advertising on the back covers. :)
People need to remember that a man who was in his 90s lived through a lot of stuff including the Great Depression, Vietnam, Korea, WW11. A lot of people who lived during that time when everything was hard to get would keep things thinking they'd use them later. Afraid to let things go.
Very cool, love your videos. They used to use radium in aircraft cockpit instruments during World War II because it glowed. I have a few of them, they say if you have more than 50 of those it could be a little bit dangerous.
Did those guys buy the nova & wagon for scrap? Tried to figure out why they would want them... there hasn't been anyone working in that barn for many many years...be safe, God Bless
My understanding was that the Nova was to be used for parts, and the wagon for a demolition derby. So, eventually the scrap yard, with detours before that...
At 351 Cleveland In the Ford Torino is worth quite a bit of money it's a good engine I would grab that and maybe the front clip Somebody might want it for a restoration!
I BUILD HOUSES FOR A TENTH OF WHAT REGULAR PEOPLE PAY.......I RESTORE OLD HOUSES THAT ARE DECLARED TEAR DOWNS.. FOR PRACTICLY NOTHING.. MY MOM USED TO BUY OLD HOUSES EVEN CRAWLING UNDER THEM AND RELEVELING THEM HERSELF.......YAH THATS WHERE I GOT IT FROM DAD BUILT PLANES AT LOCKHEED
Another good trip, I enjoy the videos and riding along, maybe you can make a driver out of the old Plymouth, be something special to putter around in. Saving old iron is the best thing to do if at all possible !
Mr. Goodpliers, I am just guessing that your probably in the forties age group. I am in my seventies and this man was in his nineties... Or as I see it, you make youtube videos to be seen on a computer. So look at my age group and I came late of age kinda when the computer came about and I remember the hype about a computer would rule the world some day and of my age many were of fear of a machine ruling this world. The man who's home you just visited was way before computers and books were his computer. I have done some horrible things in life when I look back and think... I learned to read at forty seven years of age and shortly was able to play some games on a computer and get a little comfortable with them as well as it was my legs at the early age of fifty six and I got busted up in a accident that left me in beds for many years so I reached out to the banking accounts on my financial status. I also seen stuff that I never even had a clue about due to a very limited education. I found youtube at a time when tv had priced itself right out of the front room or even bedroom. I have most of my education from the school of hard knocks and a computer. Those books we regard with respect are just trash to this generation except for some who have a curiosity about yesteryears events. I can remember many years ago taking down a old school house and it was chocked full of books and blackboards. We turned that slate into pool tables and the books were being burnt. Only not the german destroy thing, so I had a wood chipper and a piece of ground that was mostly a gravel and sand base so couldn't grow a garden that I did take a lot of pride in those times..... Dang, I hope this is not too long or boring you.... so my garden needed mulch and those old paperbacks were ground up.. about four dump truck loads and the making of one of the very best gardens I could ever wish for. I think that now is a bad way of "getting something out of words in a magazine"..... but as it was, I had some really fine cucumbers and squash... radishes and carrots fresh from a home garden when that was what most people ate out of. Canning is almost a lost art. I went from a few little flower beds and weeds to a garden that covered a half acre and fed a lot of people aside from myself. I remember the Saturday Evening Post with the beautiful pictures right on the front of their magazine... and most us guys also discovered another magazine called "Playboy" and it took my imagination for a bit till it made me feel very sick knowing one of my girls might just wind up in those girly books an that was the very absolute end of that crap but even those had the famous "Vargus" pictures in them. So I can see a value in ways in most all trash mags too. When I saw all the fine tools for making chairs.... not from amazon, and then those large tables we used to eat at as a family. Not many families take time to break bread with their own family now. Cars, trucks, planes, and computers have changed this world dynamics completely. Its not all bad but it does take some doing for me to accept. I'm twenty three years younger than the man who left this horde of stuff that turned into junk cause it was not taken care of and he couldn't either as we were taught not to throw anything away cause we would find a use for it somehow. Were a man to screen the dirt in the old buildings, you might just find another horde of tools an special size bolts meant for specific jobs an other like money from our pockets as we carried change quite poorly. I found a half dollar from the early eighteen hundreds in a outhouse floor pear accident as we pushed stuff out and then kicked up dirt and found some shiny metal that turned out to be a small horde in a leather bag in its corner where his stash from his wife was. I was dumb and sold to a gold buyer an found out he made a few thousand dollars out of that twenty some dollars I got for it. I think that place had stuff all over the area that say forty years ago would of been the find of a lifetime. I had better stop here as its a book now
I noticed mr. Good pliers you say you're floating along a lot? And I'm curious I live up here in Oregon and a lot of oregonians are floating along especially at 4:20 if you know what I mean? So I'm curious because you partake in God's gift or are you just very happy?
The US UNITED STATES CRUISE SHIP ON THAT ONE MAGAZINE IS STILL AROUND ITS DOCKED IN PHILLY. AT ONE TIME SAY 1955ISH IT WAS THE FASTEST CRUISE SHIP IN THE WORLD
@@auteurfiddler8706 if your into full custom you'll end up doing what I did anyways. Tear the factory parts out and put new motor new buckets seats and sheet metal interior panels. 💪💪
Why does this listing show posted 2 days ago, when the auction has already passed, and us viewers, can't even find out when or how to go to one to bid on anything that we saw on one of these types of channels. Y'all are nothing but click bait channels.
all that junk and clutter, who has THAT much time to pack rat all stuff... my gosh... it gives me a headache thinking about how disorganized this trash heap property is.. something mentally wrong with that old guy. you gotta love the auctioneer.. begging for a dollar bid... give the crap away, just make it disappear.
