[AT] Scrap iron

[Mike Sloane]

Good point, Richard. I should have thought of that when I worked for the 
tractor dealership - we used to have drums full of bad hydraulic 
cylinders, bent PTO shafts, broken pins/bolts, bad hydraulic pumps, and 
other heavy stuff. The owner used to have to beg to get "gypsies" to 
come and take the stuff away. He also had regular used weight boxes out 
back with hunks of old railroad track in them (now THAT if heavy 
stuff!), but he wanted real money for them, and I wouldn't pay his 
prices. :-)
