    I didn't notice anyone mentioning a HMS#2 bucket. Any steel 1/8" or thicker goes in there. Things like strators, tranformer cases, thick nuts and bolts go in there. When the bucket is full I take it to my storage area where it is dumped into an empty refrigerator carcass until I decide to sell.
    If it wasn't for the $ in $crap, it would just be.....

    But if you fill it up the yard will pay you "white goods or appliance" price for the heavy stuff.

    You're right Mech, I should explain a little more. I fill the frig carcasses up with prep steel because they make storing and hauling on my trailer so much easier. When I go to the yard they suck the metal out with their big magnet and I bring the carcasses back home to be refilled. Works really good for me. When the carcasses start to get in too bad of shape I fill them with shred for their last use and the yard uses the claw to unload them.
