Parts are available from any motor repair /rewind shop
capacitors are only specific for capacitance and voltage and can be obtained from the same shops or from e-bay
the pressure switch only switches the motor on and lets run until the full pressure is reached
it then switches off but switches back on when the pressure drops around 10 psi
If it was doing that there will be nothing wrong with the switch
if all else fails and it is a belt driven compressor get a new motor
The brand on the motor is immaterial as long as it is 5 hp or bigger and has the same voltage rating requirement

SOURCE: change from 220v to 110v on air compressor

I can't blame you for askig, but here's my response. 5 HP is 3750 running watts. or about 35 amps at 110 volts and it would take somewhere around 50 amps to start it provided the motor could even be wired for 110 which I don't believe it can and for that exact reason. I'm sorry, but it's just not practical.
