Got this yesterday. I'm guessing a part of a small tractor engine since I picked up the tractor parts - mostly sheet metal.

This weighs 261 pounds.
Looks a lot more like a big transformer!
I just scraped the windings. The top seems to be aluminum and the bottom is copper.
I would agree with FJ Mick......Don't know if it's possible for you to cut the windings out, but it looks like a lot of cutting and hard pulling.
It's a Mahrinda tractor, with some big rusty thing hanging from the loader. ;)
You know you can always count on me, Mick. :D
Neighbor ID'd it as a transformer from the electric company. That thing on the poles and submerged in oil. What you see in the picture came to:
Iron: 246 pounds
Aluminum windings: 4 pounds
Copper windings: 11 pounds
Some of the copper is coated, so it'll probably be #2. Most of it is thick enough to be #1.
very true at that. And it definitely needs to happen.
Given that, any concerns about PCBs? (Polychlorinated biphenyl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)Quote:
