Yeah Mat these tutorials have saved me so much time learning on my own, Ever since this Internet thing took off its incredible almost unbelievable,, Thanks again Matt, best wishes.
That is one giant motor. That was one tough bugger to remove. At least the back was easier. That was very interesting to see, though I will never come across a 700 pound motor.
That was great, thank you! When you say "short steel". is that the same as saying "prepared", as in number 1 prepared or number 2 prepared? Also, when you scrap the copper from the stator, do you have to cut off those binding wires that hold the ends together, or it can still go as #2 copper with those attached? Do you have to take the plastic pieces off the copper, or from inside the grooves in the steel part to get #2 copper price, and also #1 prepared for the stator steel? I mean the plastic channels that line the grooves in the stator....do those have to come off/out? I really appreciate your time, thank you!!!
Yes I call prepared steel short steel or foundry steel.....so many different names for the same stuff.....i do not remove the binding twine from the "crowns" and yes u have too remove the plastic insulators. Thank you so much for watching. And i appreciate the comment i hope i could help
hey brother nice job on that motor! I couldn't hear you very well I think maybe because the camera mic was a bit far from where you were working... Anyways keep up the good work and thank you for sharing!
I highly recommend that you have a 5 gallon bucket by you so you can put all small steel pieces in it. That way your video looks more professional and less amateur hour. To many recyclables get thrown out when just tossed on floor willy nilly. But then if not worried about the $$$ thrown out I guess it no would matter.
Watching you tear these huge motors down make the scrapping I do seem so insignificant. Good video!
No matter what your scrapping big or small its still scrapping! Keep it up bud!
That was one hell of a motor. Big one did all right. Looking forward to the next one. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Im doing a giant copper transformer next!

@24:03 - You should be wearing protective gloves! At least the ones you were wearing earlier in the video.
I am bad about not wearing gloves. Thank you for watching
That was one BIG beast of a motor.
It was a challenge for sure but I enjoy the challenge. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching
It definitely looked challenging.

@@midwestsmelters190 You did help a lot! Thanks for answering! I really appreciate it! I enjoy your channel, just subscribed!
Is the outside casing aluminum or steel , and are you going to scrap it out or melt it down
These are a cast steel. They will be sold as prepared steel.
@@midwestsmelters190 will you be melting the copper?
Can you make a video on how you remove the copper from the stator ?
When i get a few built up I will do one.....If u want too look back in older videos i have several on several ways too remove the copper
How many hp was that bad boy , new subscriber btw
This one is a 50hp
I am amazed by that cutting disc, what brand is that ? :O ... I would spent like 10 discs on that :O
Hercules from harbor freight 6 inch wheel.
@@midwestsmelters190 Well that i cannot buy here in Czech republic :D
Channel lock type pliers are directional which is why they are so effective.
One of my favorite tools.....next to my hammer that is
@midwestsmelters190 you are using them backwards ,not good ,try them correctly and let me know if you recognize .
Your scrap yard is that technical 1" ? That's a rotor and stator. Armature have windings in them

Thank you for watching. I need to get a mic.

Every bolt and scrap piece gets put in a bucket and recycled.
So how do you get the copper out now
I cut the end of the stator heat it untill all the resin melts off and just pluck it out.
Where are you getting these big ass motors???
I buy them from where I work usually
Well that was fun Now the real fun starts getting the copper out
Its hard work for sure but that reward is awesome
Is it worth all the trouble?
Yes definitely i will get 150 to 180 us dollars out of just the copper.
Zu hoher Zeitaufwand zu hohe Kosten/ Arbeitsstunden usw
Its a hobby i dont mind it. Thank you for watching
be careful when cut using grind, your finger is not available in hardware store
Thats very true . Accidents can happen at anytime
