Also don't forget what happens when u make assumptions. I never had a reason to think anything was illegal. I was just stating observations with no basis for judgement of either. I guess I get the...

I thought it was ignorance is bliss lol you just have to remember, it may seem common knowledge to you or any other experienced scrapper but I've never encountered the subject or needed it til now. ...

In retrospect I wish I hadn't taken anything apart since it turned out to be so clean inside. It being curbside I figured it had to be worthless but I'm quickly finding out ppl throw out lots of...

Also I wasn't asking if it was ok :p just stating the difference in my observations of one scrapper and what I'd been reading so I can do it right. When I type for instance " why can't I break a tv...

Yeah you guys are pretty much reiterating what I've read. And I'm sure the guy I scrapped w was an idiot. HE just needed some help and I needed money. I'm surprised the yard took them without...

The guy I spoke to told me it's usually between 10-20c a pound but I'd get more if I drained it and what not which I've already done. I also have some breakage from a smaller tiller motor that seems...

How do I decide if it's capable of producing energy as said and what exactly are they used for? Maybe it can be incorporated into somethjng for myself

Thanks for that tip! I don't have any grinders or at least havent taken to using it yet. I probably have a few metal cutting blades somewhere.

I have a few motors, one from a treadmill and others from sweepers. Should I just keep these in a pile and scrap them as bulk motors of some sort or is there anything besides copper winding to be...

When I used to scrap with a guy years ago he would just bust out the screens and the yard would take them as whatever they consider the bulk metal when you just empty out your truck. Not sure if all...

I definitely need a sledge hammer! I was able to break some off with a hammer but certain parts are a little thicker. Hopefully I'll have a pile to show a picture of in the next few days!

So j started breaking this down and a few bolts inside I can't undo leaving very little non cast aluminum inside but still a little bit of odds and end components. It looked so clean inside j wonder...

I finished stripping all the wire and it wasn't as much as it seemed but I have 6.5 lbs of copper wire, .5 lbs of the ground wire, and 26lbs I believe it was of the casing which I take to be steel...

The 2 insulated wires are definitely copper but the ground is silver, very light and has no insulation. I'm almost done takin off the insulation off the copper. Next time I may just try leaving it...

I have it stripped down to insulated copper wire and man there went all the weight! Lol I'm guessing the casing is going to be just bulk metal or whatever it is called and then there is the ground...

That's what I figured I may have to do is take off the pan for instance. I don't yet have a yard and I plan on calling around when I go to scrap everything I've been working on. I just want to make...

http://i.imgur.com/PTeHGnz.jpg I have this transmission with no gears or anything, at least I think as Automotive has always been a weak area for me. I used the magnet test and it sticks to the pan...

When calling around to check prices for this wire hole and stripped I would ask for #1 price stripped and then what would the as is be called for pricing reasons?

I have 14 legnths of 10 ft or so and have no idea what to even ask for on c/l. Just for knowing what would this be graded as is and for stripped?

First off, you guys are awesome! I expected to wait around a few days before getting very much feedback. This is exactly what I have. It is in i'd say between 10-20 ft legnths at the moment. It...

I have somewhere between 50-100lbs of this wiring. It has 2 coated copper wires inside then what might be a wire of aluminum that has no encasing. No magnet will stick to this part. Then it also...
