I don't have money to just buy it. If none else wants it, and you are thinking of crushing it, would you be willing to donate? I'm located in Antlers, Oklahoma, United States.
If you were local, I would let you pick it up.

I wish we could get this across the border somehow but that’s problemstic at moment. I don’t think it’s driveable right now either.
