Front Load Washer Total Carnage - Washer goes Chain Chomp on me

Oww... I made a mess!. Concrete counter weights were removed from outer drum unit, and a few other mods applied to keep it together long enough. Machine was a Whirlpool made unit, donated by one of Dad&friends, who happens to be a fan of the channel and wanted to see it die again, it was a power surge victim with a leaky drum unit, so its not a waste to scrap it. new ones are about $400, so its not big deal.
