I have a 2000 E825. I have enjoyed it, but I don’t have time to constantly tinker to keep it running.  
I am snow bird inTucson and there is no one willing to work on it. It was running really well at the beginning of the season, after battery maintenance, it charged and turned on but no click to engage ( if that makes sense) Either way, I am done and moved on to an an evolution with lithium batteries. A working E825, in better overall condition is on craigslist for$1500.  
My question is, are there a few parts I can pull and offer on the forum that will be worth my time, before I sell it for scrap?  
Any thoughts appreciated.  
Pete

What a golden opportunity!

Rpund up a bunch of friends…one whom has access to heavy machinery.  
Drag the gem out to the desert.  
Invite all said friends, tell them to bring their guns. Heavy machinery friend should also bring a Cat D7N or equivalent. Bigga da mo bettah .

As for the oo’ gem…

Shoot the shyt out of it.  
Light it on fire  
Crush it with the bulldozer  
Scrape up the pieces and shoot them into a decaying orbit around the sun
