Drum switch to Motor with board If I eliminate the board?

Here's another diagram that may be helpful: (disregard the colors) (centrifugal misspelled)

I'm thinking black and yellow are the start winding ends...
 
Your motor must be the strangest color scheme I've seen yet LOL
 
Green from cap, goes to the back of the term board, which connects to white (which is the thermal overload protection) , then thermal O/L goes to black which attaches to blue which goes to the start (cent switch)
 
So if the blue and yellow are the ends of the start winding then your drawing should work.
blue and yellow to 3 and 4.
power to 1 and 5 (or 2 and 6)
remaining two wire groups to opposite corners of drum.

Do you have a continuity tester or an ohmmeter? I would ring out the windings to be sure. You may have to open the start switch with a piece of cardboard to get valid readings on the cap and the start winding.

so if yellow and blue need to be switched to reverse the motors, is it safe to say that yellow and blue are the start winding?
 
No because you said the blue only goes (or comes from) the cap. Does it go anywhere else? I'm not clear on:
A) which colors are the run windings
B) which colors are the start winding- if yellow is one end where is the other?
Until we know for sure you're gonna have fireworks. or a tripped circuit breaker.

You don't want to have your centrifugal switch or the cap directly across the line inadvertently, that's why I'm stressing caution here. That's a possibility we want to avoid.

ps I'll check back on this in a few hours... ciao

I never said blue goes/comes from cap. Blue goes to the centrifigul switch, which then goes to the cap.
So here's what I have continuity wise:
Blue - Yellow
Red - Green
Blk - Brwn

If you look at the pics you can see how the brown and green are on the backside of the terminal block.
