Second hand motors are probably obtainable when new heating and cooling equipment is installed or when buildings are torn down. Such motors are also used for industrial machinery. Sellers of second hand motors of that size are probably known to heating and cooling contractors, Industrial motor repair shops and industrial equipment repair shops. It may be difficult for an individual person or someone starting out in a small business to get in contact with the right people, but second hand motors of all sizes are available.

The motors you are looking for are available in thousands of electrical stores but as the HP goes up, the price goes up following a log curve.
