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

People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

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.

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.

Born to think, destine to succeed.

At least it'd thin the appropriate genetic pool.

Given that, any concerns about PCBs? (Polychlorinated biphenyl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)Neighbor ID'd it as a transformer from the electric company. That thing on the poles and submerged in oil.

Not with this one. There wasn't even any residue of liquid. It looked like it had been sitting around for several years.
