I have fully reassembled it and raised it so that it stands about
where it is supposed to. I used a chain hoist to stand it up.

The next step will be installing a VFD to run it. I have decided to
install a 115v VFD and avoid making a 220v circuit in the basement
shop.

Be sure to over size the VFD..if the motor is 1hp..be sure to use a 1.25
or 1.5 hp VFD.

That is is rated for single phase input and 1 HP output. It is also
rated for 50% overcurrent for 1 minute.

Else starting problems may not show up..but if you get stuck in a
hole...under load...thats when the problem shows up........

I hope that I will be fine. We';ll see. I will also install a
reversing switch on it and, possibly, also a foot switch in series,
for kids' safety.
