    Breaking down a 90lb motor

    I buy and break down mtrs. I pay $0.20lb for the mtrs mostly from my next door neighbor. Here's the numbers and photos of a single 90lb mtr I broke down. This is the single largest mtr I have done. Mike.



    90lb @ $0.20 = $18.00

    Break down results:

    80lb #1 steel @ $0.14 = 11.20
    9.28lb #2Cu @ $3.00 = 27.84

    $27.84 + 11.20 = $39.04

    $39.04 - 18.00 = $21.04

    About 1/2 hr to dismantel although I didn't time it.

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
