I had to replace the starter motor on my truck. I ended up just cutting off some of the copper bolt with bolt cutters. It seemed like a greasy solid fortress to get into, so I got motor price for it. Thanks for showing what’s actually in it! An angle grinder would be a nice tool to get for fathers’ day...🤔

Great video Ian. I’ve been stripping cable ,motors etc for years I spent full four Day’s recently just stripping piles of cable loads of motors etc and yes I made £398 but this doesn’t even take into account my labour so it’s not cost effective but I look at it as I would have thrown it all away and made nothing. So happy days. I also made in those four days a awesome cable stripping machine motorised by a running machine I bought on ebay for £30 stripping cable is minutes instead of hours of work now. Keep up the great vids.

Don't waste cutting discs on halving the motor lengthways- stand it on it's end, get a narrow wood chisel and chop the copper through at the top. Cut the joiners between each coil, prise the coils open where you chiselled them then upend it. Using a medium flat screwdriver, lever the cut loops out from the uncut ends. As for the solenoid, where the end is rolled over to close it, cut away only the rolled end to allow entire insides to slide out without having chopped wire to bits like you did. I dismantled a Valiant slant six starter this way- the windings in the motor looked identical, but the solenoid wire was much heavier gauge and a fair bit more. Unfortunately never weighed it. It's 10 30 pm here in Wallaroo- I'm going out to the shed cause I just realised I have a couple old XJ40 alternators I could strip!

a good question Kim, but one with many answers, I personally as a hobbyist scrapper have the time to strip even the smallest ones IF. they look easy to strip. even some of the big ones are so intermixed with paper and lacquer, that i weigh em in as is
I have a thousand semi truck starters and alternators to take apart. I have a refer trailer full of starters, solenoids, and copper battery cable and another refer trailer full of alternators and smaller copper cable.

Like a lot of things it's a balance of time verses money. Never sure where the the tipping point is. Often do it once to see how it's made. Like the method if it doesn't come apart hit; still no joy get a bigger hammer! Lol.

Awe cmon the electric is negligible, even todays shocking price of 17p a kw, ( 6p or less back then ). I can put a 1kw electric fire on for one hour and it would cost 17p, Labour. Well that’s down to how much you value your time. As a hobbyist my time is free. But yes there are costs, the cutting discs cost as well. But I do appreciate the comment. It does raise the point of hidden costs.
