I've got a big industrial gas powered one to tear down. I'll have to post the breakdown when I get to it.

Hey tackleberry great breakdown, but just wondering was there no cast Al in there also? I've broken a few and got some.

Yes there is cast aluminum that is a part of pump/electric motor. When doing the tear down I went at it for a bit to see how easy it was going to be to seperate it and get clean aluminum, it was a stubborn SOB so I gave up. The price difference between elec motor and cast Al just isn't large enough for me to justify putting in the time.Originally Posted by iScrap
