Can do no harm to price a rewind or similar motor. Or maybe Clarke will sell them too ?
At least new, yes you know exactly what you have.
If you think you're electrical supply is up to handling the 4HP motor, then replace like for like.
But as already mentioned, unless you are sure you have a substantial power supply available, I wouldnt do it on single phase.
