Restoring an old bandsaw



I've got a 1951 Craftsman 3-wheel bandsaw that I'd like to get up and running again. Job one is finding a motor for it. I need a 1725 rpm enclosed 110v motor anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 hp -- with a 3-inch pulley on it, if possible.

I don't care about authenticity nearly much as I do about saving money. I've been wondering if there's a motor commonly used in a dishwasher or furnace that might work for this application.

Anyone got any ideas?
