I have gotten a food grinder/juicer for a few years. Recently, the
juice that I'm getting out of the machine has gotten coarser. I'm not
sure if it's the grinding stone that has become dull, or whether it's
time to get a replacement motor. The picture shows the motor that the
machine is using (http://imagebin.org/31524). I basically would like
some information on how to read the label so that I can find a
suitable replacement motor.

Thanks.

That's a capacitor, not a motor.

The label is for the capacitor, not the motor?

Yes. Its capacitance is 12uF.

Here's an example of a motor capacitor:http://www.capacitor-manufacturer.com/CBB61-6.htm

Basically, what specifications would I need to obtain in order to get
a replacement motor?

Does the motor sound like it's not running at the normal speed?
With a capacitor, it means the motor is an induction motor. They
are basically single speed motors tied to the AC line frequency.sg
