 Topic: Scrapping heavy AC parts?
Posted: 23 Sep 2018 at 3:49pm |
Getting ready to get rid of accumulated AC iron. Hate to see it all go as Scrap. There is a complete tractor somewhere in my pile. Remember the BUILD A B PROJECT? ?? are the internal parts of a C and CA narrow front interchangeable? Somebody not long ago needed to get the wobble out of his CA narrow front

Be ready when hit the scrapyard on pricing. Our local scrappers are no longer giving 'Clean' price for large castings even if stripped bare. The large yards that process the scrap are only paying Tin price for the large blocks, trans cases and final drive housings.

China might want the scrap in Canada, doubt they will want any from the USA.

China isn't buying ANY scrap right now. Apparently they have enough to last for 20 years or so.

The Chinese are probably going to shoot it all back at us during WWIII like the Japs did with all the scrap metal they bought from the US in the 1930s during WWII.

they won't have to fire a shot, simply turn on a hidden program in all the smart phones Americans have bought over the years. Zap, no cellphones, twothumbers will surrender no problems. China probably owns 1/4 of the USA, on paper, so why mess it up with rockets or bombs ? easier to attack from within.
