Two questions on Maytag wringer washers?

I stripped old May last night. I pulled the tub (Alum) after some persuasion with a grinder and a splitting maul. My question is the bolts look like brass and the heads are splined these hold the cast alum plate to the tub what is best way to get them off to save the brass? These bolts also hold the agitater motor on I know it sound like a dumb question but trying to max as much money from it all . Any one ever dealt with one. Second ? is the shaft that goes up to the ringer is steel but the out side is cast alum would it be worth it to bust it up and separate it from the shaft of just leave it as is there is alot of grease in it.
Thanks drewan

Olddude is right. Just the wash tubs can be worth up to $150.
I bet you just scrapped a $200 - $300.
If there was a Maytag motor on it that is worth over $100 dollars as well.

You already missed your opportunity, the horse people love these old wringer washers to wash their horse blankets, and the shop guys want them to wash coveralls. A buddy of mine uses one to wash freshly dug carrots and pickling cukes.

I have to check with a woman by my folks house she is cleaning out her camp and has a bunch of scrap by an old shed and one is another ringer the one I had didn't work and up here they are pretty common to see a lot of folks still use them. I will remember this for next time.

Pieces and parts on some models could be worth a lot more than scrap. It all comes down to what we as scrappers are willing to do to market the products we collect.

I use ebay to sell stuff that I find at rummage sales and have sold lots of stuff for other people in the past 13 years. The scrapping stuff I get for free or next to nothing at the sales usually covers most of the things I buy. Like it or hate it ebay can be a good avenue to sell stuff. But like scrapping you make out of it what you want if you want to got that route. I use turbolister with my own auction formats saves a lot of time typing the same info or clicking the same boxes when you sell something. There are lots of free or low cost software options out there for those that want to pursue it to a different level.

If you were referring to the 50 old ones, that was posted back in Sept. 2012. I don't know that he's been back since.
