Scrap axles

[cfherrman]

I might be buying a set of tandems that are like my rig, it's on a old truck that will be cut up for scrap, trying to figure out a price how much would you get for a set at a scrap yard? I might get the twin steer front too

Whatever they weigh if it’s headed for the torch anyway.

Pulled on the scale, by the lb, price is unprepared.

 

[cfherrman]

Yeah that's why I'd like to know how much a set weighs, so I can give him a fair price

Here, id be happy if they didn't charge me to take them for scrap!

Average weight front drive with axles, drums and brake hardware--For a SQ series 1,350,
rear 1,225 lbs--- with suspension figure the whole mess at 4,000.

Most used cut offs are around $2,000- 2,500.

Most used cut offs are around $2,000- 2,500.

Depends on several things--model, suspension, ratio, and now days type of brakes, a useable
wanted set goes for $3,500 and up out here. Old junk won't even bring scrap price. A set of
SQHD's doesn't matter ratio, maybe-a big maybe $ 1,000 for both.

I sold old set of Rockwell's for $1000, and they could be made into a good set.

This set might be able to be used and they look newer than mine, but they are still old. Hopefully they are close to the right ratio for a top speed in the 40's

I'd like to have a rear unimount hub and single piece drive axle for it. No need for anything else.

I threw out a center section with power divider that had an oil filter on it? Anyone ever see that before? Was under a cover, looked like a regular spin on oil filter.

SQ100 some had a pump, some didn't.

 

[cfherrman]

Yeah I've seen the oil filter before, some axles have a pump in them

Already addressed.

Here's a really bad screen shot of the rears

If you notice, everything is junk

Wow, you weren't kidding they are old. Don't think those are worth a dollar more than whatever the scale says times 100 per ton.

 

[cfherrman]

I don't think they are as old as what's above them, which is from the 50's

I think my axles are older
