One good place to get real "Stump Pullers" is high speed printers. Dot
matrix ones are likely to have two in them (although they are likely to be
different) one for paper feed, and one for carriage movement. Line printers
will also likely have them for paper feed.

I used to like the ones used in Dataproducts printers. The L300, L600,
L900/1000 printers used a hefty motor for paper feed, and there are
thousands of these printers out there, many marketed by OEM's under there
own name/model number. The motors were almost indestructible.
