Why not use a phase convertor?

Probably $$, you could do the old give it a kick start and run it.

Id rather just throw a motor on and go but a converter might be a possibility

I think I have an extra single phase 5hp compressor motor. I tried it on the drill press to find out that it's a 3450 rpm instead of the 1725 that I needed.

Of course his is a 1800 rpm motor also. I guess he could change the pulleys to drop the speed down.
