Subject: Looking for an AC Motor

I'm looking for a free (or low cost) AC motor for a project to motorize a
grain mill.  Here is an article that shows what I'm trying to do - - -

1/3 - 1/2 HP, 1750 RPM, with a clockwise rotating shaft (or one that can
easily be reversed if necessary).  I'm a homebrewer and this mill would
used to crush my brewing grains on brew day.  I live right down the street
from the Makerspace location and I've been interested in what you guys do,
but my brewing really consumes all my free time.

I thought this group might have a motor you'd be willing to part with or
could at least give me some advice on where I can pick one up cheap.  I've
looked on Craigslist and eBay, but I can't find what I'm looking for, or
they are asking more than I want to spend.

I'd be willing to exchange a couple bombers of expertly crafted homebrew
for the motor.  I'd also be willing to teach anyone interested how to brew.
 I brew on a 15 gallon all grain RIMS (Recirculating Infusion Mash System)
system and brew all kinds of styles.  I've won multiple awards for my brew,
so you can be assured anything I give you will not be swill.  I take pride
in my brewing and wouldn't give away anything sub-standard.

Looking forward to seeing your responses.  Cheers!  Ken
