Gutting the machine took two skid steers, one to keep it from being pushed off the trailer and the other to lift out the revolving panel, safe, and brains.
In summary, no precious metals, the shell can be sold at auto body prices.
The shell is worth $ 30.00 as auto scrap, electronics about $ 5.00. It cost $ 24.00 in fuel and about eight hours of prep. Not a money maker in these markets, but it was worth it for me.
1. Education in how things work and additional experience hauling a unique load as if I really needed the second one.
2. I have a great garden shed, tool box for traveling between SD and WY., a play house that would be the envy of any kid, or the start for a tiny home/cabin.
3. A large safe complete with a combination.
Unless you have my perspective on life, the tools and equipment, and time to kill I would not recommend this type of challenge. For me it was a great experience with possible contacts down the road.
And a special thank you to Dakotarog for the lead. Keep them coming. I love the challenge.
