Awesome episode brother. Trying to make a ball mill out of a propane bottle. I have got a motor, bottle and an awesome chain. On the look out for some big cogs. Your motor rip down reminds me I need to get a move on. Stay safe brother
Hey SIA! Cool video, you found the by me added sawsust too! 🤣🤣🤣 @6.00 I thaought: Good thing i always watch your videos with safety glasses on 😎- thank you for your work, have a great time mate and - until we meet again!
It was so awesome! Unfortunately I don’t have a melting furnace yet. That’s how I’m going to do that. Put the armature in a crucible and melt the copper away from the steel. I saw BigstackD do that. He’s got a really cool channel if you haven’t heard of him before. Thank you so much for watching.
I love your style! Your methods are that of an expert. And I do indeed do things differently with motors. Thub as his way, E-waste Ben had his way.

Also I've noticed you always give thanks to God, which is a very admirable quality! Bless you brother

That big ole electric motor buddy! Glad you found your saw dust 😂😂 gotta love that copper copper gold! That pice flew right off! Hate when my back hurts buddy nothing helps mine when it does that was good tear down buddy! Another awesome video!
Just stumbled on your channel sir and it was great and I have subscribed and hit the bell. I am 71 and well retired. I have done tons of scrap since I was 5 years old in London. I started with newspapers and rags. When we moved to the country side I got into metal. I had tons of motors and amateurs and just weighed them in as they were. If I had my time again I would have stripped them down. Thanks again. Take care and stay safe. Tom.
You always make it look easy, seems like there's always a hiccup for me to finish one off, so i go for what's easiest and usually worry about the rest. Enjoyed the video and take care of that back!
This motor breakdown reminds me of bigstackd when he breaks the bigger ones down to melt the copper andother metals down in em. Ive only got 1 motor around the size of that and i loved it. Motors are 1 of or my absolute favorite to scrap. Nice video
@@classifiedsnake3947 thank you so much. I’m a big fan of BigstackD, he makes great videos. Me too, motors are awesome to scrap. Thank you for watching.
I feel your pain with your back. I can't scrap too much any more, I've had 3 major back surgeries in the past 2 1/2 years. I was told I have the spine of a person in their 70's but I'm only 49.
Do you have a video where you melt the copper off that armature? That would be cool to see. I’ve thought about doing it myself but not sure how it would go or if it’s worth it.
@@wghead I don’t have a video, I still haven’t bought a furnace, but hopefully soon. Basically I’ll put the armature in a crucible and the copper will melt and I’ll pull the chunk of steel out and I’ll have molten copper. Will it be worth it financially? That’s a great question and I’ll have to keep that in mind when i finally do get to melting.
I just picked up 2 washers and 3 dryers from 1 house. So I did a little research and came across a few channels and found yours to be the best! Thats for the absolute great information on the disassembly and pricing info. Just curious but whats the price difference between just taking in the copper motor vs removing all the copper?
@scrapitall200 i will check in the morning. Its not much at all. I remember thinking if it was worth it but i do enough mircowaves that I do turn them in.. i wanna say 31 cents or somethinf
Thank you! This motor I had to do over a 3 day period (kept getting distracted) but I’d say that motors can be done anywhere from 10-30 minutes, depending on the size and if there is anything rusty. Thank you for watching.
Good evening my friend Do you recommend creating a project with a small workshop to sort and separate metals from electric motors?? Please what is the price per ton of electric motors? Note that I plan to use modern machines to sort and separate minerals
There is good money in scrapping, especially motors. Each yard has their own prices, so the best thing you can do is check with your local scrap yard and ask them how much they’ll pay for motors and how much they pay for #2 copper. The prices I used in this video are average prices in the USA. Thank you for watching.
New guy here, never done scrapping/recycling. Is it really better doing it this way rather than just selling the complete motor as scrap? I am considering this to earn extra income after i retire from my job.
Hello! You will make more money scrapping them, but selling them as they are requires no work, so I guess it depends on if you have the time and desire to scrap. I scrap as a hobby and it’s a lot of fun so the time I put into scrapping doesn’t matter to me. Thank you for watching.
I don’t know lol. I recorded this over a 3 day period because of interruptions and other things distracting me. Typically motors can be scrapped in 10-30 minutes, depending on the size and the condition of the motor (rusty bolts and such) Thank you so much.
The prices I use are average prices I get from the IScrap app. My prices aren’t very good either, but I too just scrap as a hobby. Thank you for watching.

If that is heroin not sawdust, you are looking at about 400 dollars for that on top so, I would look into where that motor came from. Just take a tiny bit and mix it into a cup of tea, and if you feel dizzy and puke, that might be heroin. Not sure if the scrap yard takes that stuff, you should ask before taking it.
Please don't bring any bare bright to the scrap yard unless you need to eat or feed your family. It will help all of us scrappers to drive up the prices + you can sell them as bars on eBay for 20x the scrap yard ridiculous prices. You can melt in a scrap microwave with a silica carbide crucible.
Watch my one video Build one thank me later that 10-20 mins getting copper out Can do in a few seconds To maybe a few mins on bigger tougher motors. Was built. Bec this way suked 🤣 i do lotta ac motors
@@dennisburd8252 a motor like that would take about 30 minutes, not sure where you came up with two hours. Yes, motors can be rebuilt if you have a market for them in your area.
@@scrapitall200 Just a guess on the 2 hours. Acquiring it, the footage time, the prep time for making the video, and then driving to sell the scrap and back home. Did you make more on the video views than the motor? Where as if you could somehow repair them instead, you get to preserve all the added value of the work that went into making the motor. I imagine like most things, older motors like that were built better than the new ones made today. Hell, even with shipping costs a repaired one should be cheaper than buying new.
@ oh ok I understand now. Yes on this video I made a fair amount of money. Where I live it’s a very small community and it’s really hard to resell anything. Not sure what it would cost to have a motor this size rebuilt, but I’d rather have the fun of scrapping it even if that gives less money.
NICE! Brother Scrapital, have you ever came across electric servo motors? I was given a few, aluminum housing, but never really torn one apart. Just wondering if it would be worth tearing apart.
Thank you for watching and all of the support you’ve given me!

If that is heroin not sawdust, you are looking at about 400 dollars for that on top so, I would look into where that motor came from. Just take a tiny bit and mix it into a cup of tea, and if you feel dizzy and puke, that might be heroin. Not sure if the scrap yard takes that stuff, you should ask before taking it.
It’s sawdust, it tasted like when I was a kid and would chew on sticks 🤣
@@scrapitall200 OMG he tasted it !!!
@@artstrology 😂
Please don't bring any bare bright to the scrap yard unless you need to eat or feed your family. It will help all of us scrappers to drive up the prices + you can sell them as bars on eBay for 20x the scrap yard ridiculous prices. You can melt in a scrap microwave with a silica carbide crucible.

Thank you for watching.
Watch my one video Build one thank me later that 10-20 mins getting copper out Can do in a few seconds To maybe a few mins on bigger tougher motors. Was built. Bec this way suked 🤣 i do lotta ac motors
@@jaimenardo no thank you
So... 2 hours for $20? Is it possible to repair these instead? Seems like it'd be much more profitable.
@@dennisburd8252 a motor like that would take about 30 minutes, not sure where you came up with two hours.
Yes, motors can be rebuilt if you have a market for them in your area.
@@scrapitall200 Just a guess on the 2 hours. Acquiring it, the footage time, the prep time for making the video, and then driving to sell the scrap and back home. Did you make more on the video views than the motor?
Where as if you could somehow repair them instead, you get to preserve all the added value of the work that went into making the motor. I imagine like most things, older motors like that were built better than the new ones made today. Hell, even with shipping costs a repaired one should be cheaper than buying new.
@ oh ok I understand now.
Yes on this video I made a fair amount of money.
Where I live it’s a very small community and it’s really hard to resell anything.
Not sure what it would cost to have a motor this size rebuilt, but I’d rather have the fun of scrapping it even if that gives less money.
2 hours of work for an additional 12 dollars and 24 cents not so great
Takes less than 30 minutes.
Why not ask instead of assuming?
NICE! Brother Scrapital, have you ever came across electric servo motors? I was given a few, aluminum housing, but never really torn one apart.
Just wondering if it would be worth tearing apart.
No I’m not sure I have. I bet it would be fun to scrap. Thank you for watching brother!
