My point entirely 90 truck cab, you do things sometimes that are not quite ideal, owning a well worn 30 year old landy is a risk all on its own, well more than one risk, a risk to your health, a risk to your wallet and a risk to your marriage to name a few.
Welding a 300tdi to a knacked out 109 is a whole bag of dangers.
Oh yeah, I've fabbed a few brackets to fit a bottle jack to mi crane and it works really well, the hydraulic people have got back to me and said they can get me a new seal for the old cylinder for nowt, thats not bad, its gonna take a while to get the seal from finland so I'll use the bottle to get me by next week whilst I'm off to mess with mi landy.

talkin of jacks , i just picked up a 30 tonne air / hydraulic bottle jack to make a press out of, watch this space !
can't do it with 3 ph hoists, only low amperage running but the startup amperage spikes and blows the fuse and when they first turn a single phase through a rectifier takes off the electro magnetic brake.
easiest way to do it is fit capacators and convert to 110v but for what it's worth it aint worth it, the other month aldi or lidl were doing 240v scaffold winches for £20. bag o ****e but ok for light occasional use

Capacitors will work but not so good for a winch starting under full load, 3 phase from a single phase inverter is a better way and easier on the motors, I've done it many times not on winches but pumps, lathes etc it works.
Your rightt the brake is an issue, you'd have to wire that diffo somehow, depending on its voltage, maybe direct to the 240 supply via the rectifier, as on smaller motors the brake is 240 and is connected from a phase to the star point therefore getting 240, though I suspect a drive would handle the brake load no problem, most drives will give 500% current on startup, drives are my thing I mess with them every day.
The argument about the hassle is very valid though, your right it probably isnt worth the trouble.
