I have a 5 HP, 1989 Craftsman Air Compressor (Model NO. 919.176851).
It's a 240 Voltage Single Phase motor made by General Electric. My
question is: can I convert this to a 110v use by changing the
plug-cord assembly only? Will this motor run on 110v without damage
to it? Or am I stuck with having to stay with the 220v configuration.

Halving the volts will double the amps. You will need a special circuit to
handle the load as it will pull far more than normal house circuits can
handle. . There is no benefit to change it over and many reasons to leave
it at 220.

The motor may or may not be capable of running on 120V. You have to check
the nameplate for specifications and the wiring that has to be changed
internally.
