Be careful with some of those big old motors. I found one that contained PCB. There was this thick black crap seeping out of the sides of it. The funny thing is that it was at one point in time being used as a water pump for a well. The disposal of the motor was rather pricey (100$) and I had to drive 3 counties away (90 miles one way) to find a landfill which accepted that kind of hazardous waste. They were originally going to charge me 275$ but they lowered the price.
