I've done some research since yesterday, it appears that there aren't many TEFC motors below 1/4 hp - not affordable ones anyway. I found a 1/4 hp Grizzly TEFC motors on Amazon.com and you can also order them direct through Grizzly.com. Its $65 new through both. Seems like Grizzly designs or sources them for woodworking applications but, far as I can tell TEFC is TEFC.
