for the mower or for the tractor? for the mower the motor out of a tape reel from a computer from the 1960's or 70's works well and is about the right size, for the drive motor on a tractor a 2-3hp golf cart motor that has a support bearing on both ends would work well, altho they tend to be hard to find, a pump motor from an electric forklift could work well too, depending on the forklift it might even have some smaller motors in there that would work for the mower deck.
