Hi, my name is James and I love scrapping metal for money. I scrap it all, copper, brass, aluminum etc...
Come join me on my scrapping adventures where I share how I scrap items for easy money. I sometimes will go street scrapping or dumpster diving looking for scrap metal.
Please have a look at my scrapping videos and I hope I earn your subscription to my channel.

Here is the link to my first paper shredder video. I’m going to make some improvements, add a second shredder, add some safety features and a few other things to make this more effective and productive. Please consider subscribing to my channel. Thank you and God bless y’all!

I would like to thank you for simplifying my methods of disassembling and retrieving precious metals from various machines.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I'm truly impressed with your method of showing the way you micro-scrap an item! Keep up the good work! God Bless You along with your videos! 🎉

The dirty brass you pushed out were the diodes. They are used to rectify the AC current to DC current. I enjoy your videos.

Awesome video. I was always wondering about how to take them apart. God please bless Scrapitall. Take care of him and give him a wonderful evening and week. Thank you for his heart and honesty In Your name amen

I have found alternators already torn apart, but I saved them for future winter work. Good job tearing that down, my friend.

Thanks for the shout out! As always, great video! I haven't come across an alternator yet, but hope to some day.

There goes the wife's steak knife !😮

Hey man great video nice and informative. One tip I can mention towards your issue with the machete is instead of using a bench vice I use a chain vice or I have even used a ratchet strap and ratchet it to my ball hitch so that way it can separate to give room for your machete ( or I personally prefer an axe). Anyways happy scrapping keep those vids coming 🎉

Awesome tear down .thank for showing us how to scrap

Those are always tough to get apart. I go the copper motor route with those. That had a great yield of good to bad - might have to reconsider. Thanks

4:03 believe it or not Ive never had to cut these I’ve always been able to either pry it hammer these apart

Greetings scrapitall! I just want to say that it's not virtually impossible to separate the 2 halves you mentioned without a grinder.. I usually throw that part in the copper motor bin but i wanted to give it a go.I hammer the shaft out first. There's a snap ring which is recessed looking at the long end of shaft, remove that and the shaft will come straight out by use of a hammer. Use the hammer again to separate the 2 halves. No grinder was needed my came apart quite easy like a hot knife through butter. The shaft and 2 halves are fine splined. Then again no 2 alternators are built the same which makes some easier than others I guess you could say beginners luck 😂

Nice break down video, I have always wanted to see how it's done. I have a core buyer for my starters and alternators and other things that he will buy.

[richavic]

You might try to cut the wires on one side of the stator, then pry them through from the other side.
Or use your vice to flatten the whole ring, allowing you to push what wire you can to the inside, giving you fewer cuts.
I appreciate you asking for a blessing.

Great video my friend like always keep making them awesome videos!

Hello sir nice to see you again although I haven't scratched an alternator but I mean it's a motor I've accidentally bought a set of cut-off discs that are actually designed for masonry once and used them for steel and I've used the steel ones as well the masonry ones actually last longer than the steel ones do I also got a tip from somebody that does masonry and he also scrapped a little bit I was at the harbor freight and he said grab the grinding wheel design for cutting Masonry

[CandSMINING]

Never done a alternator before. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. Good job brother. Stay safe and blessed. 😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

Hi, great video. Just an FYI .The components you pulled out from inside and called dirty brass were silicon diodes. An alternator makes AC power, the diodes rectify it to DC to charge the battery.
