One thing I do is buy motors from a fellow scrapper. Here the current price at the salvage yard is about $0.23/lb. Thats what I pay them.



Now some motors have Al(aluminum) wiring which is not worth breaking down. I just take the ones with Al wiring an put them in a pile and sell them to the yard for motor price so I don't loose any money.

Take the time to read through the old threads here and you will learn a lot. Best of luck, Mike.
