WANTED!!!!

I'm trying to gather the parts I'll need for my automatic chicken plucker that I'm going to build.  Two items I'm looking for now are:

1. A plastic barrel

• needs to be 50 or 55 gallon capacity
• needs to be new and unused or only contained non toxic substances such as food items
• does not need to have a lid
• free or cheap (remember this is a low budget project)

      2. An electric motor

•  3/4 horsepower
• single phase power
• around 1725 RPM
• capacitor start
• TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled)
• needs to work

I've been searching the internet (ebay, Craigslist, etc.) I might have an option for the barrels from a guy out in Rocky River, but would appreciate any help you guys may have locating cheap parts for my plucker.  These seem to be the two parts that are likely to cost the most.  Thanks in advance for keeping your eyes for me.
