If you know anyone who does appliance repairs or a heating contractor, you could ask them if they have any used ones. Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

It's a bit undersized as I can only tumble four really big coons at a time but the point is motor size will most likely not be a problem for the size of your drum and the size of your coons.
