The auctions are online by people that have never seen the things, mostly , this is why you go in person to get the advantage., Also the people that categorise things are lazy

Don't give out all your secrets‼️😉🤣

That Chevy was the winner.

That there Chevy would get the job done too!

If I lived anywhere near the auction, I would pick it up myself

with 3/4 of a tank of diesel in it, you bet it is

@@jordancarroll9397 got a vortec badge on the side. Bets it’s got a 6.0

That great attitude is why you have been married so long. Rusty junk is a much healthier addiction than drugs, alcohol or other women.

You’re obviously a good wife! They don’t make ‘em like you anymore.

@@alanj7306 they do,, just in very limited numbers...

@@alanj7306 They do, but I blame the education system nowadays. It's not just women, but the people in general are taught that "life is pointless, don't live it to your best" or something along those lines. Why not live life to your best? Life's too short not to! Cheers!

Do you have any sisters?

Good point!

Plus LED's pretty much last for ever.

@@DieselCreek Before you get carried away on the lighting tower, check the output Hz, sometimes dedicated towers run at high Hz to “Enhance” lighting effect. Great vids Matt, look out for low flying missiles when you tell the missus what you’ve bought.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks just Thanks.

buy the service truck

tell westen champlain about the army truck lol

Mike, you could pick up some projects here! Lol

Lol, me too. Thats why end up with multiples of stuff....i guess at least i have parts when something breaks lol

It’s most fun buying something you don’t need and it’s easier to start a new project than finish an old one.

I have stuff for others. They call me when they need stuff for they know somewhere I have it. I love helping others and it’s nice when they call needing help.

Yep, that TL250 has his name on it.

Agreed!

In CA where new houses have 4' side yards, they dig pools with those!

🤣🤣

@Camaro 68 You are a very lucky man, hope you understand that. Some women doesn't even seem to allow their man to have a hobby at all. Most will make a fuss when we spend "too much" on our hobbies, even if it is less than she spends on her areas of interest.

Thanks 👍

Glad you enjoyed it!

Oh that is too, it’s right across the steer as well!!

Should get both... When the wife starts up, point out that one is for her.

Most of the time I can't come back from Harbor Freight without some kind of crap from the Commandant.

I bought a 410D at auction for $25,000 several years ago. It was one of the best purchases I ever made. I would not want the 410C as it is an older design. Lots of hours on that one in the video. I think the 410D was one of the best backhoe/loaders John Deere ever made. Don't get one without 4 wheel drive though.

Agreed! I got to drive one for a while on a volunteer VFD, GOOD memories Actually it was an A-3

Ya, looks like his had the ejection seat! Glad he takes care of himself so we can joke about it!

You made my wife laugh out loud. That never happens.

Totally agree!

🤣🤣

What if you need it the moment it's sold? :) Gotta hoard for the future ;)

Thanks a ton! Means a lot!

He did say it went forward and back.

Easiest to get parts for around here.

Are you kidding me ??? I had a little 27 excavator for 10 years of absolutely trouble-free service, then sold it for 1/2 what I paid for it new. What's not to like ?

That’s the kinda deal I’m looking for!!

@@DieselCreek I still reckon the two(ish) best auction/clearing sale deals we ever got were: 1) A dead ute with 3 way tipper tray for $1200 (tipper tray was worth $3k); then (18 months later) by chance found the ute only needed a $100 part to make it run again. By which time the plain tray I had put on it when I swapped the tipper tray onto mine had been swapped again -- for a service body! Just filled the drawers with spare odds and sods tools, and she's still puttering around today. 2a) Dad and pa went to an auction to buy some land from a neighbouring property that was being broken up. Discovered that the bit they wanted to buy included the house. A lick of paint and a little TLC had it looking schmick. 2b) Also included with that block were a few old farm sheds (most of which were barely standing, and were swiftly demolished). In the one decent shed, we found....a 10 cubic metre dump truck! Ended up getting that thrown in for free, because the estate they bought the land from wasn't interested in a 45 y.o. truck that had been up on blocks for 20+ years. Took me a couple of days' work to get the old girl going again, and she still gets a run occasionally.
