      @Okie Scrapper I can understand small town living. Ebay or some other online sales for used appliances parts are hot sellers, but online sales are not everyone cup of tea. 👍👍

      ​@@gulfcoastacrscrapper6523You have to be joking! I have several 30 year old Kenmore appliances. No repair person is going to order parts from the 1990s fixing up a 1990s appliance. They are going to recommend 2020s newer appliances today!!

    Hello from northern Sweden again,, scrapping still good here and I got a "new client" that does ac/heater units so a steady supply of those.
    I also do pickups at a whitegoods supply and repair shop so those motors I get regurlary but I never thought about the yellow lines.
    Thank you for the tip and I will use it.

    Not much breaks on those , one of the best washers ever made, $200. Easily used sale the 3 main things that break are the drive coupler between the motor and transmission, the lid switch, and the agitator dogs all cheap parts it wouldn't take long to get a name as being the go to guy also the matching dryer the one with the lint filter on the top right is also the best dryer made in the last 50 years and really easy to fix $200. Each on those too

    Hey Okie great vid, I wanted to ask what CFM do you need for the air compressor for your air chisel? Looking into it the compressor is more expensive than the tool.

    • @Okiescrapper
      @Okiescrapper  2 года назад

      when looking at a compressor it will tell or show you what it can run, but I used to use a small compressor with a 1-gallon tank, but I spent a lot of time waiting for it to build up pressure. chisel a little wait and chisel some more, I have a husky 27 gallon the cost is about $500 it is 5.1 CFM @ 90 lbs. but a smaller one would work just fine. this one will get the job done it will run the chisel www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-8G-150-PSI-Hotdog-Air-Compressor-0300816/302862402#overlay I don't think I would want to go any smaller

    I just scrapped a washer and the motor had green lines on the side . It was copper. But I really don't believe the manufacturer was labeling the motors for that purpose.
