Robbing parts from washing machine?

[bell0347]

My old washer just gave up the ghost and I had to break down and by a new washer/dryer set. Now, the washer works just fine, that is if you don't mind flooding the wash room out. I was wondering if I can salvage the motor to use for a malt mill? Will this work, have others done it? Also is there any use for any other parts in there?

schmidling.com has some stuff on this, I think. maybe not, but I know someone does. I saw it recently.
