I'm curious how you plan to deal with the 3 phase issue.  Are you going
to use just one phase of the generator?

Uncertain.  You can wire it Zig-Zag, and get 50% of rated out of it as a
one-phase generator, which is still a big step up from the 5kW rope-pull
that I'm using now. Or I can rewire the fuse box so that I can distribute
the big 220V loads around the three phases and leave it Wye, gaining its
full rating. (The big furnace has five heating elements in it.) Neither
approach is particularly attractive.  Or I could trade it in on one more
to my needs.

I figured I'd worry about that after (if ever) I got it working.
