Any use of a burnt out motor?

[eyekode]

I have a ~3/4 HP Grizzly motor that doesn't work anymore. I opened the back and the windings look like they may have shorted. But I hate taking things to the dump.

If anyone has a use for this motor you are welcome to have it!

It's good for the scrap metal pile. I normally salvage capacitors and switches before taking them to the recycling yard.

Sully, by "recycling yard" do you mean dump? Just wondering if there is anyplace that would want it....

I didn't mean the dump. There's probably a metal scrap yard near you that would take it. It would keep it out of the landfill and could be melted down for the metal.

I tend to keep stuff like that in a pile and when it gets big enough it goes off to the scrap yard. They buy it by the pound.

The Wake County Convenience Center closest to you that takes scrap metal is at 6025 Old Smithfields Rd, Apex NC 27539.
They send scrap metal to be recycled.

You can get good money for copper... take it to the scrap yard that advertises "We buy junk cars"

you might get enough money to pay for gas.

They work great for getting tailgaters off your behind.

Well, you could bludgeon....on second thought, I won't complete the first thought.
