Street sweeper

[landmine]

Hey guys i need help with BIG things.
I would like to find someone who has the ability to move large items.

The first one would be a 1963 elgin street sweeper, I would like to reach a deal with someone who can move it,

This will lead to another job if it goes sucessfully. I have a 60's bus. It is complete with the engine and trans. Due to the size i would guess it would take a lowboy to move it.
If i cannot move them whole, i think i will buy torches and start cutting. Or i could get a pipe saw.
I appreciate any help and insight i could get here. Local yard are not interested/ equipped.



Here is a cl posting of it, but i would rather start working with a forum member.

ETA: These things are mine already, i have "ownership" of them and need to move them.

Are you considering paying this guy that much? Seems to me 8000lbs X $0.12 = $960 - $700 = $260 not counting expenses is far too much to the owner of this thing. If I had the eqipement I would offer $200 and demand a bill of sale so he could not back out. Mike.

You want put me up in a room fpr a night and cut me a %, I will come and help torch it up on the weekend. Your only a few hours from me. WHat part you in? I can either bring the plasma or torches...just need to get my o2 filled is all. Torch probaly quicker. Yes Im dead serious. Need a break from life lol.

Woah that sounds sweet, This weekend i will be repairing my truck so that is priority, maybe next weekend 5/26
I am in Bedford MA and I have torches and acetylene/oxygen, no air compressor though for a plasma
Also i might bring a generator with me instead of running 100+ feet of extension cord.

Sounds like it might work, as long as i dont do it all by then. Will see how this week goes.

Well if you need me holler. Will be around. Just busy all this week or I would come now. Your only 5 hours away and honestly, used to make that run daily when driving truck. So no big deal. I dont have the greatest torch set in the world, harbor freight, but it has a #3 tip and I been burning since I was 18...almost 15 years. So can do it quick. Let me know. Plus while Im up there, maybe I will run up to NH to the beach...make it a vacation..lol.

Waiting to get a concrete cutter to do the bulk of the body cutting,
Wont have it till next week

Dont think torching through the roof and sides will be cost effective?

[ozzy214]

Yes it is. I have cut up whole dump trucks including cabs with one o2 tank.
