Hi guys I'm new to scrapping and I have an older craftsman snow blower and it has rust on it so I know that a lot of it isn't good metals, should I bother seperating the engine and other parts to scrap it or just scrap it for weight as iron?

how old ?
Bring it to sears and get a new one. Unless its just there tools that have a lifetime warranty. I thought of this with a craftsman weed wacker. But i scrapped it
Try and fix it up and sell it. Depending on the shape its in you could make a lot more money this way as opposed to scrapping it. Heck, try selling it "as is" on Craigslist or ebay and see what happens. There's a buyer for everything.
Resurrecting an old thread to provide good info. I've worked at Sears for 2 years in the home improvement department. Only the Craftsman hand tools are lifetime warranty. If you want to take the time to break the snow-thrower (mowers too) down into parts, you can make some money with sales on CL or eBay, because lots of people find that the shipping cost for even a very small part is $7 minimum. You can get parts diagrams and manuals (Craftsman and other brands) for free on searspartsdirect.com (and prices!). If you can find a way to scale up, and learn how they work, it could be profitable to sell parts from these kinds of things. If you live in a warm climate, focus on mowers; cold climate, snow-throwers. You can even give cards to the Sears employees, because they want to help the customers fix their mowers ASAP.. A happy customer is a repeat customer.
