    Why obviously not going to be scrapped. I hope you find a buyer, but I've scrapped many many working motors in those sizes and more up to 100 horse. The problem with motors is they can be specific to certain applications and even the electric motor shops don't like to buy unless they have a customer lined up for them. I actually scrapped over 50 7.5 HP motors that I had to take out of their boxes new and load into gaylords after checking with several motor shops and other potential customers for months with not one sale. Maybe you'll get lucky, hope you do, but I wouldn't count on over scrap price.

    As was said above...and not just everyone needs a 30 horse motor. I've never really had any luck with selling used motors. I keep some around to tinker with and make home creations, but the rest just go to the scrap pile
