Yup that'll work, I have done it. I didn't mention it because I didn't want anyone to possible get hurt doing it. You CANNNOOOOTTTTT tie the rope to the motor PERIOD, you have to overlay your windings and be able to completely pull the the whole line in one pull to get the motor rotating sometimes difficult with a variable speed belt set up. You also have to wind the line on in the proper direction for the right rotation. 3 phase motors will in either clockwise or counter clockwise depending on how the leads are installed. Like I said this could be dangerous if the line doesn't clear with the pull and the motor engages, itg will pull the operator into the cabinet ans the line winds in the shaft. I say dangerous in the context of my 39 years of marriage, the house is still not finished, and I'm building rods upstairs, telling my wife I doing a stock list for the kitchen it all relative, come to think of it that pull line doesn't seem so bad.
