Scrap Life... You get what you get and you deal with it...... words of wisdom.

I just found you, that was the easiest way I have seen to stip out a motor yet. yes I subed

Good morning 🌞 Ian Matthews, I really enjoyed watching you take the motor apart and how you got the copper wires and the tool that was stuck out of the motor.

That is a serious big motor! I would love to get my hands on one of those! Lots of aluminium, copper and steel! I love it! You scrapped that very well!

Hi Ian. Just sitting here enjoying a Gin and tonic and watching your videos. Thanks for the great content

I did same size motor this week first time doing it. I found a lenght of angle iron fitter nicely into the inner slots and i could hammer the copper all the way out the other side.

One of the better videos on this subject. Good camera work

Marry Christmas ian good info thanks.

Finally a Scrapper who has TOOLS ! FGSakes and works like a Pro !

I've watched folk smash these motor housings with a sledge hammer, quick work mate

I just finished a motor, not quite as big as yours, but did it differently, I cut all the strings on one side, and then started to pry the copper up from the other side, took me about 20 minutes to pull it all out, but thinking your way may be faster, going to try it... I've got lots of motors to practice on...

i have access to a bunch of various size scrap irrigation motors, tried getting the windings out and spent HOURS of fiddling. i knew there was a correct way to do it lol

That was a good chunk of everything. Look at how tidy everything was 4 years ago.

WELL DONE .. £25 / £30 in copper nice bonus plus all the ofther bits ..plus starter motors more copper ..good work uncle ian😁

New Supporter from Pusa Studios and very cool channel! We look forward to getting to know your channel better and watch more vids. Wow this was amazing! Never knew of this Cheers!

i once worked for a week in a rewiring factory, they had massive motors there, with loads of copper removed, they must have made more money out of scrap then re wiring

Great video ian keep scrapping

Good video!

GREAT VIDEO!! :) HUGE TRANSFORMER!!! I'm alittle jealous! LOL Glad I met you my friend, you are awesome! :)

like your videos .. my kids think i am nuts stripping stuff . but i keep all the bolts nuts . and when i cash it there hands are out looking for some ..lol .

Well done! Yeah, if you don't have a pile of them, this is a very clean and efficient way to get the copper. I like it. Good job!

I could watch your videos all day! Good job! "waste not want not"

awesome Ian

nice work, man.

Very interesting video👍🏻

Very Great Copper Score out of that WOW Very Awesome

Ian, I like your gloves.

If you leave the one side of the coil on and use it to pull the strand out it helps a lot.

15 lbs is nothing to sneeze at. I'd take that all day long :-) Another great video Ian.

Hey Ian, new sub here. Lovely video mate, you have a very good way on camera think it’s the Yorkshire accent it’s very likeable. You made easy work of that motor I have been scraping mine is as motor weight because could never figure how to get the copper out but after watching that will start extracting the copper as been loosing a fortune in copper I think. Now off to watch you plug soup video, I have a plasters bucket full of plugs in my scrap cave I need to get through.

Nice job. Greetings my friend and have a good Thursday. Like61.

Nice one budy I think it worth the work. Hope you are well God bless.

The box is cool with the warning symbol.

nice work Buddy

Great video

That was intriguing

Not all motor are easy to pull out because some time when motor overheated the plastic wrap inside fused. That why I cut only one side and use crowbar with claw to pull it out. Just clamp in big vise. Quicker.

Hey Ian, I'm new to your videos, very enjoyable and informative.

Hello Ian great video again hehehehheh

7:28 Instead of an ankle grinder you can use a hammer and a chisel, the aluminium / cast iron will break. Greetings from germany

Hi Ian,Weighed some dry bright wire in last week at EMR price was £4,16 a kilo,

Easy peasy lemon squeezy is my fav saying deff awesome to hear other people use it to lol

I would like to have this guy join the cartel

Stunning! You are considering both copper and box. And you will also sell a box weight that weighs about 450 grams +/- ?

GREAT SCRAP VIDEO

At three minutes in, he says, "Less talk, more strippin'."

Each car have an alternator that contains copper windings. On Scrap Yards you can a lot of that parts.

Very nice! Time to make a copper ingot!

O,yes I love stripping big motor,s,,,u did it as I do them,,,wel done Ean,,,🤠👍👍

Very good. From Brazil

About 47$ Canadian. We get $2.50 a pound for copper here in BC Canada.

a new meaning for the term "ring around the collar"

I feel like you can cut off one side of the copper and then use the weight of the casing plus a hammer to get the rest out in tact. I've done that on a lot smaller of a motor.

Today I was given 2 older dead solar inverters- probably 5kw models. I stripped them out, aluminium lids, large ally heat sinks on the sides, that's ok, but the heavy gauge copper windings once cut off the steel cores netted me 15.5kg for the two inverters. Here in South Aussie that roughly equals AU$140- $150 if the price is still up. I'm working towards a 1 tonne payday so if the price is low now it wont matter to me. The newer inverters are made harder to scrap as the copper windings are set in a rubbery compound inside a cast ally case. You'd have to melt the ally off in a fire and burn away the rubbery stuff leaving the copper a lower grade.

I lad thou did good, young sparrow me lad.

I used to collected giant soild iron / Steel chunks. I don't see them no more. None around my area.

Boy it would be nice to get 2or 3 of those motors per month .I work for the Harris county water district out side Houston Texas and we send those back for reman exchange .

So your like Ray from star wars a scavenger you may be a little older but y'all both have the accent 😁👍

What a good job and a job well done

NICE video

Nice brother

2:55 That's what we tell the dancers

This just popped up after simple man's video so I'd better see what a younger Ian was like.

I got exact same motor hopefully mine is as easy as this one

That’s a nice size motor

"Nice box" 🤣

Oi Ian, nice motor you got.

대박이네요 한가지 배우고 갑니다 감사합니다

I bet the fuckin neighbor's love you dude! I guess they just think the loony next door is off again lmfao

Stripping is hard work. A lot of people just don't understand how hard it is. But it is absolutely NECESSARY. Go ahead and like if you cracked a grin.

What did that little stator do to you? Bully! :)

now I'm beginning to look back.

Hang onto your copper boys, it's going through the roof in a few years.

Cut the wired butt end of the coils off like you did, leave the clean side intact. With the stator vertical, slip a rod through opposite winding loops. Locate a bit of heavy timber twice the length of the stator, now you're going to drop the stator like a pile driver onto the timber which is propped vertical. Work your way around the winding nest changing the rod location, it will all come off rather easily and neatly with not much effort. ☺

45.oo dollors of copper here. good haul

Instead of thinking in £s Ian, think what it'll buy for the mill......or the lathe.....seem much more valuable then.

Hes good... informative...the right answers

GET TO THE COPPER!

Where can you get this kind of motor?

Put that brass in a bucket. You have a drawer missing in your little storage box. lol. Do you breakdown your starter motors? Awesome job my friend.

Looks like my garage

that motor is BIIIIIIG :D

Nice sir , you have recovered 7.2 kg copper wire but do you have an idea about the whole weight of the 15 hp motor?

Sweet!!!

Just out of curiosity how long did it take you to do

I wonder what the scrap price for just the motor core by itself is? Do they have a irony copper price similar to irony brass?

Where did you nick that from Ian lol 😂 nice bit of copper there 👍

Its not much , but is free , good job

Well you made short work of that Ian.

Keep the aluminum dust; mix it with iron oxide (rust) adding heat and you have thermite ;)

Good video. Wash that coat before it walks away by itself!

hi i liked your video ,,where a live this would be close to $50 canadian ..for the cooper ... thx Ed Loretto Ontario Canada

Does it really pay for your time to disassemble those motors? Around here it seems they have the prices fairly well figured out and it's not usually worth your time.

Do you find it easier to cut both sides? Have you tried one side and hammer out other side?

Would that be # 1 or # 2 copper ?

what i found easier when doing these is, just cut one end of the coil off and use a pry bar on the other end and it pulls the other coil and all the legs out in one go

What bout copper filings dust when you cut the ends off. Cant be anygood for lungs

I stack my motor cores up like chimneys and burn the coating and string off ......cut one end of the winding's and pull them out the other end ......and i have "clean copper"

copper coating wire is what i'gotten out of them ac condensers ,fans starters .what motors do i look for with actual copper wire?
