    Scrapping old bulldozer

    I need some help with seperation i am scrapping an old cletrac AG bulldozer. i know the radiator is brass but are there any other parts that i should seperate out? the scrap yards here usually just say Long steel or Short Steel they don't go in to grading to much. I don't know if there are past pieces and if they are worth more or not. Any advise would be helpful. It was in a fire and then sat outside for 20 years so it is only good for scrap now.

    I'm assuming that was a typo, and you meant "cast" pieces?

    I would do a google search and see if anyone around is looking for parts such as the tracks, sprockets, etc... might be able to make a couple extra bucks above scrap value

    Those hydraulics may be worth something to someone that rebuilds them.

    cletracs are very collectible I also think you should do some checking around it might make a bigger payday. I know the farther south you go they get a lot more scarce.

    Yea that was a typo i meant Cast. i have been on the cletrac forum and a few cletrac sites and nobody was interested. I have seen parts on ebay there was tracks on there for $300 and it was relisted probably 3 times in a 20 day auction.
