what would the weight be? its a single axle machine. And would it be worth $350/ton scrap price? the engine has the head off and is major stuck, the cab is getting rusted up but the rest is fair.

I show a shipping weight of 10,100 lbs.
Used to be it had to run to be worth $1,000 but that's all out the window now where local scrap prices set the minimum.
