Steve it should be possible but you will need to change the Motor to a
3 Phase Motor which while you are doing this you may wish to increase
the Power from the 1/3rd HP upto say a 1/2HP.

I notice that 1/3rd HP Motors come in Frame Size 63 and 71 whereas
1/2HP Motors are generally available as Frame Size 71, this refers to
the height to the centre of the Shaft in mm.

Also Frame 63 Motors have a 11mm Dia. shaft whereas Frame 71 are with a
14mm shaft.

So there are a number of issues to take into consideration.

Any larger and you may also have to think about the Pulley Bore and
Motor Fixing/Mounting.

I did an upgrade on my Hegner and have included the process in the
Hints & Tips Section of my WEB Site.
