115V Single phase motor to drum switch wiring

[fiskkus]

Hello, iIm restoring an old Logan lathe and need to wire a new motor. I have the motor and drum switch, however the proper wiring isn't obvious. Looking for some advice on what to do.

The motor is single phase 115V reversible
I've created the wiring to a three prong outlet(The other end of the the cord with the loops) and have a section cut to go from the drum switch to the motor right now i only have BWG wire, but it seems like I'll need more than 3 wire from the motor?

Images below, thanks in advance.

Your motor, like some Daytons might be trickier to reverse- let me study it for a bit and I'll post again

This should work:
If motor direction opposite from switch handle, swap connections @ drum switch 3 and 4
Connect green ground wire from power cord to motor case (splice and extend as necessary)

Here is a helpful factory sheet that shows the internal arrangement:
Took a bit of digging to find it
At 1 HP your motor is pushing the limit for a residential house outlet at 15 amps, although some garage outlets are fused for 20.
You might experience occasional circuit breaker trips when running on 120 volts.
I usually recommend running at 240 volts for 1 HP and above. If you want a diagram for that, let me know. Only slight wiring differences.

Thanks for your help!
What are you referring to with Stud1 and 2?
With this setup I'll be running 5 wires from the motor to the drum?

Stud 1= upper
Stud 2= lower
Green ground screw also shown
The yellow and white can be considered 1 wire, so 5 wires to motor including ground

The factory sheet shows it a little better I think, last page
