Take the lid off first and bring a big appliance dolly!
I wish a had one. Need to get one. I hope there is a basement door.
If I recall correct if you remove the inside plastic there's a big sheet of thick alluminum wraped around it. Might be worth stripping it down...BUT NOT IN THEIR BASEMENT! As far as getting it out I strap it to my dolly and tie a rope around to wheel base and loop the rope around my back using a pillow for confort and muscle it up. Good luck and be safe
If you plan to do alot of these basement jobs get yourself a climbing belt with the loops in it. That way you can then use the above method without using a pillow. Dont do it solo either because once your strapped in if you loose the load your going with it.
tip on how to get it out .. idk the space you have or if theres an outside entrance to the basement but when i had to take out a cast iron boiler i strapped a big rope to it and tied it to my vans back axle and pulled it up with a piece of plywood under worked real well
This reminds me of Laurel and hardy!Quote:

That looks like an older unit, and there may be some weight to it. Hopefully there is outside access to the basement to get it out, bring a helper if the owner cant help you.
If you are going to have to take it thru their home, I would suggest you just leave it. If you scratch a wall or break something while going thru their house they have the right to demand money for damages and could sue you, just a FYI.
I would suggest you get a hand cart or a dolly what ever they call them, it will come in handy for more than this job so it would be a very good investment, I picked mine up for $50 and have used it hard for 7 years now.

Remember to lift with your legs, your back will thank you later. :)
That would be a good candidate to put near your scrap tear down station and fill up with the shred you tear off of other appliances. Just make sure you don't make it to heavy that you cannot load it onto your trailer or truck.
Good luck :)

Thanks injunjoe, that was really helpful. I've edited my post so people can see the video without leaving the forum. I'll remember that cool feature next time.
Almost as bad as the one here local, no one is biting on this one either.

Here's the listing they put with it on C.L.

I have a huge old 1960's chest deep freeze in my basement taking up space. Its behind that yellow dresser. I think they build the house after lowering it into the basement, its the only way I can figure how it got there!
I am not promising that it hasn't had road kill or any number of hitch hikers hidden in it over the years. I think it even works, but probably costs $5,000 a year to run.
Bring a rec saw, a fiber blade, a grinder, whatever you want! Hack it up and carry it out and its yours for the scrap metal! And if you find a drifter in there, well he's yours to keep as well.
LOL, I actually like that CL ad, the guy is honest and isn't really trying to bull sh1t anybody.
I picked up a couple of them old deep freezers this summer. Them fricken things are HEAVY. Took four guys to get one on my car trailer. Thank god they were both already outside. I wish you luck getting it out of the basement.
I'd think twice about doing this. Wait. No I wouldn't even think once about doing this. You could get busted up pretty bad. There is nothing safe about this.Quote:
