The motor that is a scrap contains significant amounts of metals that can be easily recycled for money. The most valuable item in scrap motors is the copper winding. Motors are often torn apart to retrieve the copper inside them. According to estimates, fractional electric motors contain approximately 9%-10% copper by weight, on an average.
Remember that the copper wire inside is No. 2 copper wire, which will not fetch you high price. Moreover, removing the case and unwinding all the wire inside will require considerable amount of effort and time. Hence, the weight of the copper wire inside must be the criterion to decide upon whether to tear apart the motor or sell it as a whole unit.
