Need Help identify the wiring on an older GE 5KH45DR92X 115vac Motor

Yes it is, it's just like a capacitor start motor without the cap. Having the run windings share a terminal must mean it has 2 speeds like you said. Not sure what terminal 5 does, it must be a switch contact which would help explain the short.
Looks like the conventional Furnas "hockey stick" drum switch would work here, or we could use one of the import switches with at least 6 contacts (12 terminals)
I'll post some links, give me a sec
OK, here are two that would work for this application, one delux model and one budget model. Both would work fine I believe
Let me know which you pick and I'll post a hookup diagram

Thank you!

The Mfg plate only shows one speed of 1725 rpm...

Going to go with the RS-1A.

Here you go: be sure your power cord has a green ground wire and run it to both the switch case and a screw on the motor case
Swap the motor wires 2 and 4 if necessary for proper rotation w/respect to the switch handle
