    Conclusion of project.

    Drained and pulled hydo pump, tank, and pluming. Pulled lift chains and secondary mast out of main mast assembly. Pulled lift ram and all hoses. Dropped drive assembly out the bottom for disassembly at a later time. I plan on taking the hydro pump motor and drive motor in once I get them tore down. Chassis and main mast is all heavy welded and my company doesn't own gas torches, so I needed to just try to unbolt as much as I could to make it as light as possible. Stuffed it in the shop van and across town I went.

    Chassis was around 2200#s
    Drive motor assembly is around 150#s
    Mast assembly not sure yet, probably around 250 or 300#s
    Battery came in at 1200#s



    Total so far ~$450

    Overall it was a cool project. Most likely will never do one again but I would if I needed to.

    heavy duty breakers with large silver tab points


    Internals


    Hydro pump and assembly


    internal mast assembly


    Doors wouldn't close. Looked a bit sketchy but it got there.



    Thanks for looking guys
