Ol Ron, if you could use these motors,I guess they were not defective ,why would they do that,to feed the furnaces with them ? tell us more, thanks Harold, Ca.
 
Millions of cars are scrapped every year and back in the early dany of manufacturing in America, we melted these down to make new things.A Cupola furnace needs to be fed with raw cast iron. It was an inexpensive method of casting cast iron pieces for the machine too industry, because of the available scrap iron. Back in the early 60's 10 year old cars were being scrapped and their engines stripped for their cast iron. You could find any kind you wanted. Labor costs and environmental issues ended this process and sent it to China.
