[AT] Melting it all down.

[John Hall]

 Had a guy stop in work today wanting to buy scrap. I just cleared out 
everything about a month ago. This fellow wanted to even buy the metal 
chips. The scrapyard he sellls to told him he could fill cars with mixed 
metal as it had to go to a shredder anyway. Trying to save and sell chips 
can cost more than they are worth unless you are running a lot of copper or 
stainless. However, if we can mix them and not have to sort them, thats 
another story.

 To keep this tractor related, we cleaned up the farm here about 15 years 
ago. We gave it all away to anyone who would haul it. I wish it were all 
here now, if so we would do the hauling. We sent away a grain binder, Case 
thresher, hay loader, Farmall C carcass, IH 50T baler, grain dryer, and more 
"scrap iron" than could be loaded by 3 men in 2 days.
