Followup on the giant maching
A couple of weeks ago, I posted a message about a huge machine that I
bought for scrap. http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/Snyder-Machine/ 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. i |

What did it cost, how many hours did it take, and what did you make from the scrap? (If I may ask.) -- Silence is more musical than any song. -- Christina Rossetti |

Did you ever figure out what is used to manufacture? Jon |

Another night, when I was worried that my forklifts were not enough. |
