If you've got the means, that bucket is something you cut off and leave on CL and fbmp for a year until somebody pays you your $1k ask because they have to have it

I was thinking about cutting the bucket and arms off to make it easier to move. I think the 2 flat tires will take air which will help moving it

What are you "moving" it with?

Depends on the weight. Plan a is my Ram Dually and my equipment trailer. Pintle hitch with tandem duals. Good for maybe 20k lbs. I've moved my backhoe which is 17.5k or so.
Plan b is not made up yet. That's why I'm trying to find the weight. Probably involves a lowboy, which won't be cheap, but probably worth it.

The hydraulic cylinders are more likely to sell because they can be repurposed for a much wider variety of shit. But neither will sell if you "know what you got".

You gotta price it cheap enough that people choose it over something that "just works".
 
This was todays second load.
If I can get the picture to work again.

I told my buddy that the loader may be too heavy for my trailer and he said " let's flat tow it". It's about 13 miles to the scrapyard and right through the middle of town. But if the tires hold air it might option. But not a good option. LOL

Plan b or c. One of the tires is off the bead
 
Always amazes me how non-industrious and non forward thinking people in the desert are. Even the most stereotypical lazy southerner would keep something like that kicking around until the forest claims it in case he needs some parts for a project or perhaps give it to someone who does and be owed the favor in return.

Fair. The owner probably let one sit with the cover off outside for a couple decades because "things don't rust in the desert". Still, if not fucked with and left open it's exceedingly rare for axles to have any problems if they weren't parked with problems.
 
Just so all the east coast and rust belt guys donr freak out about us desert dwellers throwing everything away. I saved the trailer. It was loaded up already, I just had to clean off the loose stuff and bind it down. It's the remains of a street sweeper. And a crap ton of heavy tube on the back.
