Hello from minnesota.

Just thought I would get off on the right foot by introducing my self.

My names Sal and I'm a baby scrapper. I just recently noticed it after hauling a load of breakage (randoms chunks of steel and a old sbc) too the local scrap yard that this could be an interesting use of my extra time. Was surprised that was nearly $500 worth of scrap, lol.

Well I might as well list my current equipment,

2002 ex-cab F150 FX4, it has the 5.4 and the factory tow package

Homemade 6x14 utility trailer (actually if is 8x16 if you want too count the the fenders and tongue) Its a heavy duty trailer, I have hauled 4.5k of hay on it before and a massive load of class 5 (more then 6,000 lbs, the tires were nearly flat at 50 psi)

Plus just about every tool but a chop saw.

Just some Q's, is it worth taking microwaves and freezers for scrap, I mean its a lot of work for such a little return (well it is when you try not too break it into a lot of sharp pieces)

well thats all I can think of too say for now, best regards,

Sal

Welcome to the forum. I won't go out of my way to get a microwave but don't pass them up if they are there for the taking. Besides the metal you can harvest wire, transformer and a motor or two. Freezer are good but you have the freon to deal with.

Welcome to the forum. Go back and the old post on microwaves and refirgerators/freezers and all your questions will be answered.

Welcome from another MN scrapper

i find that even though the microwaves don't have much metal, they are still good. I always take them when I can. most of the time they are small enough. You can take it apart on your lap while in a recliner if you wanted. just little things to keep your self busy in the crappy weather or when your bored.

Greetings from a west central MN scrapper.

Welcome from south of Chicago. Yes, break down microwaves but dont break down freezers unless ur certifed to recover the freon.
