Do you think I could drive it in, over the scale, have them drain and shear it, and then just run the axles back across the scale and get out of there?

Since you are a new member of the forum, I assume you are not a regular scrapper and do not have a relationship with a yard. I could get it done because of history. If you can drive it to the yard, this strategy would leave a lot of money on the table. Your idea of parting it out would be financially beneficial for a person like myself. Having the knowledge, tools, and network would make this type of job easy and profitable.

If it is mechanically sound, I would use it or sell it as is and look for another set of axles for my mud truck. If I drove the 6 x 6 in and asked them to shear it they would think I was loosing my mind. I know one of the yard hands or the yard itself would buy it immediately for more than scrap value.
