Have you considered a VFD? It would allow you to run the 3 phase motor on single phase 220, and even give you a bit more RPM range. They can be purchased for as little as $100.
The VFD is my preffered option, the difficulty is finding a replacement motor. I did a VFD conversion for a lathe (Hardinge HLV), it was quite easy, (lots of room in the cabinet for an adapter plate, a pulley can easily be turned, etc). For this mill it will be more challenging, il will most likely need a working mill to make the adapter.
