I missed out on a huge motor a couple of years ago, the demolition crew wanted £500 for it, I stood my ground at £250 but they declined and took it in as scrap, it turned out it had aluminium windings and they only got £125 for it! Learnt something that day.
With that being said, you've made a good decision to don't buy it. You didn't lose any money, but you gained something more important, wisdom ! I've also learned something, bigger the motor, less copper inside. Thank you 👍😉🚀
You did much better than I thought you would. I thought your buy price was pricey, but you were savvy enough to find a motor with really fat windings. I am completely surprised you got $230 for the steel. That's a stunner. I also think your gantry was at peak capacity, just be careful, that much weight can fracture a leg or foot without even breathing hard. I don't mean to be overly critical, bro. Congrats overall!
When I buy big motors like this I try to pick the oldest, tend to have a better copper yield. And about gantry you are right unfortunately it is at peak capacity, I'm working on It to do some upgrades 👍. And "overall" your comment made my day brother, thank you very much 🙏. Feel free to stay around so we can change opinions from time to time 👍😉🚀
😂😂 me too buddy 😉 coffee lover here. Thank you and feel free to stay around, we are enjoying happy people like you...as they say "Birds of a feather flock together" Thank you very much.
I'm an old customer of this scrap yard, I've provided them with good scrap for this reason I could negotiate a better price. Thank you and welcome in the community 👍😉🚀
Awesome buddy, I'm glad that you liked the content and yes copper it's the 👑 and I believe it will rise in value in the near future. Feel free to stay around and we learn together 👍😉🚀
I'm sorry about this buddy, English is not my maternal language but I promise you I can speak and write fluently in English. From a small kid I was attracted by these language. The main reason I use ai voice it's because is much faster to add it when I do the editing. Thank you for understanding 👍😉🚀
M8 time stamp 07:00 using a speed wrench did make a lot of difference , because using a grinder on cast iron would not have worked . I like to use diablo blades ; they're a bit expensive , but I get more than 1 use out of them. Cheers on your success . Keep up the good work. God bless y'all and Merry Christmas to you and all your loved ones
Score the length of the cast case with gas power concrete saw (metal cutting blade) score deep on one edge, use splitting wedge and case will pop open, less shrapnel 7:59
Good job thanks for the video,In Florida for 96.20 pounds of copper($4.12 a pound) you get $397.3 plus $230 for the steel total $627- $500 cost of the motor $127 menos gas, lunch, beer 🍺 lol😂 better to repair the motor you can get more profit but more work.
Oooo I like your point of view, you value time more than money, ok! I always try to do that, to extract the most value with the lowest amount of time. $430 profit ÷ 10 hours of work= $43 approx Thank you and please consider staying around 👍😉🚀

é muito gostoso ver quando vc termina,aquela quantidade de cobre ,grana certa
Totally agree with you that copper donuts are a very nice view 👍😉🚀
That is ghetto gold.. excellent !
Thank you good friend 👍😉🚀
you was lucky to pick one that had 10% copper in it most only have 8% then more luck that you could cut it in half that easey
Indeed this was an easy one, I've tried to pick an old one from the scrap yard.
Thank you and feel free to join our community 👍😉🚀

My scale is in kg, so the weight of the copper is 96.20 kg.That means 212 pounds of copper 👍 . I'm glad that you liked it 👍😉🚀
thats not 230 worth steel. steel is 100 for 1 ton. silicon steel? not sure.
My scrap yard pays me 0.25 cents per kg and the total weight of the steel is 890 Kg.
hi . sometimes motor repair is difficult. those plastic winding decay.
@@ElectronicWasteExplorers woah. 2000lbs of steel. amazing!!!!!! good work!
Do they take the motors apart at the scrap yard?
I'm sure they do not, they fill containers and sell them as is.
Why not. Larger scale
How long did it take you from picking it up then weighing it just wondering
From the time of pick up until full dismantle and full copper recovery approx 10 hours.👍😉🚀
2 Question, what have you pay for this Motor, and what have you became after
I paid 0.50 cents per kg and the total weight of the motor was 986 Kg. I recovered resalable metals worth approx 930 $.
Thank you 👍😉🚀
@@ElectronicWasteExplorers oh, thats good

Sub you as I do the sae melting copper into ingots on my channel , wow this would be the biggest motor pull down I have seen !

This means 2 things, you are right and you have experience.

Break that profit down to an hourly wage. Then we can tell if it was worth the work.
Oooo I like your point of view, you value time more than money, ok! I always try to do that, to extract the most value with the lowest amount of time.
$430 profit ÷ 10 hours of work= $43 approx
Thank you and please consider staying around 👍😉🚀
