I love that motor!
Now that is a motor that I would keep on a machine. I like the vintage look! I like to toss the motors, but this motor has to stay even if it doesn't work. Way cool!
As to the rust, try Oxy Clean.
The only problem is it is missing critical parts...like the plug and foot pedal! There is a plug coming off the motor that is supposed to plug into the foot pedal attatchment. That is missing. I saw what it should look like on a Westinghouse machine online. The motor on the Westinghouse looks just like mine, but the label says Westinghouse. I will try to find that link and post it.
