So I got 350 lbs plus of these...don't think I'm guna break em down...wondering what they need to look like to be considered motors...Ive done a bunch of cbms but have never taken motors to my yard..how far do I need to break em down...some have quite a bit of steel on them n even have parts going in a vertical direction from the motor....steel of course...so is anything w a motor considered motor price or what must I do to qualify it as a motor..will get sum pics up tomorrow ..thx to all
Yards by me generally dont like buying AL motors as electric motors. They give a discounted price. Call your yard, that's the only way too know. Good luck.
I usually take any excessive steel off motors before turning them in. The way I look at it is the better your product looks when selling to the yard the more forgiving they are if there is a little snag on something.
Yards by me take all elect motors alum or copper and are paying .30 a pound for them
Yea for alum motors with some steel on them I have been paid for dirty alum .25-.30 lb or been paid tranmissions price of .15 lb so as stated best to call and find out!
So, why do they call them motorcycles? ;)Quote:

Some people Mistake Motors For Engines there is a Difference Motors = Electric.
Engines = Gas,Diesel ect
Maybe the English started it!
Maybe because some of the earliest (1860s) were electric (battery powered). Actually, they were motorized bicycles.Quote:

My yard doesn't say much about motors. They just want any excesss (I say that loosely) iron removed first. Basically if the metal is part of the housing then it is ok. If it is part of the bracket or mounting base, they like them removed. My yard is paying $0.30 a pound.
Kris Kringle...they r definitely motors..I've looked at 6 of these..one has copper..good deal..thx all for ur replies...I'll post sum pics as soon as I can use my gfs computer..some of them have like an extra section which could hold another motor....don't know much about these...they r old n came off of barrels at our metal finishing plant..sry cant figure out how to post pics from my phone..thx every1
At my yard I get motor price no matter what the windings are made of. The entire motor assembly is generally fine but it has to be removed from any brackets that hold the motor to whatever contraption that it powered. The only exception is excessive plastic such as nebulizers. The plastic has to be removed or they will only give me tin price which is .11c/lb. vs. motor price which is .27c/lb.
The yard I go to dosn't care, if it's an eletric motor they take it. I've even seen them buy whole ceiling fans blades and all even electric tools. .26 centa a lb.
