Refrigerator Compressor Break Down!

[Filthy]

now i will break them down. the dozen or so i have been sitting on seem to be worth the time. got a stack of cutoff wheels just till i get the feel for it.
someone else suggested to take your time cutting off the top below the weld. dont go too deep the first pass, but instead, make a shallow groove all the way around it first and make multiple passes until its cut through. that saves on blade wear. thanks

you can cut above the weld and you will have plenty of room to get the motor out. only 4 screws and you can pull the motor straight out with no problem. Also, the total profit was over and above the .15 cents/pound that I can sell them at my scrap yard. You could put an ad on craigslist, and call the scrap people and let them know you buy compressors at .20 cent/ pound and still make a decent profit.
