    Monster radiator estimate scrap price

    I have a radiator that I have to push around in a wheel barrow to move. It came out of a old deere 544 loader. I mean this thing is outrageously heavy for a aluminum radiator. What do yall think im looking at as far as scrap price

    Yep copper brass would pay way better.
    Better than the dump!

    Machine that size an Al radiator will top out at about 100lbs if it has the cast Al ends. Maybe 150lbs with the mounting bracket attached. Usually less though. If brass though that size can easily be 200lbs.

    If you only need a wheelbarrow to move it, it's not that large.
