took out many of my small electric motors on my stationary tools.  Can anyone recommend a source by freight shipping to Texas or in Texas?  I tried Granger, none I needed.

Check Amazon.  

I've had good luck with Leeson motors, 3/4 to 2 hp on a table saw, jointer and bandsaw.  My son bought a 3 phase bandsaw motor on Amazon, it's been fine.

Have you tried drying them out and running them? I've rescued many motors that have been wet or outside for years. Dry em out and see how they run. Most got new bearings which is a pretty easy job and bearings don't cost much.

I have bought a few motors from Surplus Center motors  They sell brand new, surplus, and close outs. Been a few years but I can recommend them as they had good prices and service.

Most electrics and even electronics aren't directly affected by water, It's either shorts (because they are powered on and current tracks to the wrong place), or corrosion because they remain wet (with dirty water). 

So it's worth seeing if the better motors can be dried out and cleaned up.

Computer gear often dies after a liquid spill because it's got some standby power from the battery even when "off". That either shorts something out, or speeds up any corrosion.
