A couple of weeks ago, I posted a message about a huge machine that I
bought for scrap.

I thought that I would follow up.

It took 2x as long as I expected, to disassemble it, load on the truck
and take t scrap yard. However, despite dire warnings, everything went
smoothly with no accidents or big troubles. We used up about six fire
extinguishers.

After I got all the weights, the machine weighed 53 tons, out of which
50 tons was steel/cast iron, and 3 tons were motors and copper wire
and miscellaneous parts to be sold as usable.


Did you ever figure out what is used to manufacture?
