    Usually the larger the motor, the harder it is to strip from what i learned. Also, if its burnt out its alot harder to remove the windings. The copper gets brittle and breaks when you try to pull it out or some times the copper melts into the plastic inserts and they wont even come out with a punch, it just mashes into the copper. i say sell as is, that's a lot of cast iron weight so i would say its better to get paid motor price for it for all that cast.
