[@mamanzanares]

12:35 oooooo! Could you please tell me where you take them to and how to micro scrap it. Thanks for the awesome videos, Jimbo!!

[@scrappingonthefly77]

Nice little bit of copper under the cap on the gas valve

[@JimboScrapper]

Hell yeah

[@scrappingonthefly77]

Done several of them in my life, some of them aren't easy, depending on how easy the shaft comes out of the swirl cage !! Good job jimbo !! #3 sheet copper here. My local yard sucks

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Glad to rewatch. I have a few to do

[@SilverScorpion]

Wow Sheet copper for free! That is nice! Im going to try your way of taking those blowers apart! Thanks for the tip!

[@JimboScrapper]

There normally alot easier than that, that would be good copper to make a skeleton key

Its always a daymaker when its gold color inside and a sad day when its majority all silver color insides why do they use aluminum and other times copper ?

[@SMKay]

Silver Scorpion sent me, nice to meet you Jimbo!

[@JimboScrapper]

Nice to meet you my new friend.

[@cuscrapping]

#1 for sheet copper?!?! WOW!! Sheet copper is #3 over here! Congrats!!

[@JimboScrapper]

Yes sir #1 my yard is really good to me with certain items.

I cut the blower fins with sheet metal cutters, then cut the shaft with a Sawzall. Works a lot better.

[@tomitstube]

those blower motors... some are easy as pie, others a real pain. recently had one that was a pain in the ass, then the motor windings turned out to be al. 35 lbs of sheet copper, nice, that's a lot of stripped wire... i'll find some nice copper tubing once in a while, usually all green and dirty, i'm guessing they don't know it's copper and toss it, but the trained eye one day i saw a bunch of copper tubing sticking out of a garbage can... it was a copper colored garden hose. one night i saw what looked like a couple pieces of plywood leaning on a garbage can, checked anyway, it was two thick metal plates, about 200 lbs of clean steal.

[@JimboScrapper]

That's awesome, thank you for watching

[@mikeburke8656]

I did one and treated the shaft with penetrating oil and it allowed it to slide off.

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

it works for me that way also

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Nice

[@Wade-LS1]

Spray some lubricant on that motor shaft then use sand paper to remove the rust then rotate the shaft to break it free

[@louisrichards3702]

i dont even try to get the shaft out,, i remove the 4 long bolts, usually a impact will do it while u hold onto nut with other hand,, if not angle grind the top of bolt off, real quick ,, hammer the AL end off,remove the 3 bolts holding motor to blower and remove motor, it usually slides right off leaving armature in side,, the AL end is easy to clean up, i use a 20 inch long flat screwdriver to pry off inside steel cap ,then a piece of rebar sliding through to knock off the dirty end cap, and a 10mm socket to hammer out sintered bearing, then u have clean AL casting.if you must remove shaft they make 8 point sockets for square headed bolts, or use a open end of a combination wrench of the right size,i save oil from ac compressors, u can use that to lube up shaft let it sit , then use a 5 pound sledge to slam against end of shaft , i should fly right out , but i would remove AL end cap opposite shaft first.

👊👍

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

I learned from the best

[@JimboScrapper]

Lol thanks buddy

[@DeanG55]

Dang Jimbo, you gettin' old or something? It sure took a long time to bust out the copper in that squirrel cage!! 😉

[@JimboScrapper]

Lol

[@scrappingonthefly77]

🤣

[@markb2007]

For stubborn nuts a 90 degree long reach needle nose works great.

[@JimboScrapper]

I'll have to try that, thank you.

[@gulfcoastacrscrapper6523]

Stainless steel pole I would list it for sale or make flag pole and resale. Sheet copper WOW!

[@JimboScrapper]

I don't know how much the stainless is worth

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

I’m getting ready to do one now off camera and then if it turns out OK I’ll try it on camera lol I’m cheating.

[@JimboScrapper]

There pretty easy my friend

[@StevePaul-b7q]
