    If your not going to pull the copper out why whould you take the motor apart? That part still sells as an electric motor or as they call it "copper bearing matieral"

    ^^Happyscrapper - I'm assuming the OP is new to the biz and thats why he is asking. Those would still go as electric motor. When I run across a motor with those in them like that I no longer break them down, I leave the stator in and get the full price for the motor weight with the extra metal.

    Ranger, ask your yard if they require the stator pulled out or if they accept the full motor at the same price.
