Best way to dispose of an old 360

[Jack Russell]

We have an old Ackerman 14t 360. It’s Just blown one of the main rams and is looking at being over a grand to fix. It really isn’t worth much. Electrics are shot. Quite a few leaks. So we are thinking of getting rid and just hiring in when we need a machine. Is it best just to dismantle it and scrap it or are there breakers for these kinds of things?

Give Jim at United Parts kirton Lindsey a call ,,he sells parts for older machines all over the world ,,it might be of use to him as spares

I think it’s in good order. Tracks are very good. A few of the rollers are a bit worn.

There’s a fair bit of damage. 2 seperate firms have looked. Cheapest is £1200

Not really got that far. Depends a little now on what united parts turn up.
