Default Minor gloat: A REAL 5 hp 1ph motor

The other day I scored a new, surplus Leeson 3600 RPM, 230V 1ph 24amp(!)
capacitor-start motor. This is a really impressive motor, probably circa
$800 new. Sadly, it's just too big (184 frame) for the air compressor
application I was going to use it on, so I now plan on machining down its
shaft (currently a very long special pump shaft) to a simple 1 1/8" standard
keyed shaft and reselling it. Anyone interested in a real 5 hp single phase
motor? Pedestal and/or C-mount.
