    If they were made in the 1990s I would scrap , sell the parts, or repurpose them. Build quality then terrible, like they were made to break and be unrepairable. So a few part would be replaceable then the transmission would grenade. If they are older keep them running and they willlast someone as long as they want to use them. Its worth the experience to repair them once even if its for little or no money in return... At least in my opinion.

    They were made in the 80's I believe,but low end units,so disposable.I just can figure out what to do with them.I hate scraping stuff that could be returned to service.I am cleaning out an old mobile home I use for storage,and they will need to go.I may stip them and save the motors,pumps,drums,and cases.I thought about stacking the cases and making a powder coat oven.
