I still have to dig out my old computer, but from what I see, you are trying to switch from one style switch, to another.
Going by Mutts diagram, the switches do the following:
Direction 1 7 and 5 are connected.
Off, 4 and 5 are connected.
Direction 2 4 and 6 are connected.
And of course the green is ground.
Maybe someone can decipher the right connections to get the drum switch to do the same things. When I get to the house, I'll check back in on here.
Is there more to this switch? where does the orange wire in the back go?
The square end of the shaft that used to turn the motor on and off, had a plastic cam pressed onto the end of it. When ya raised or lowered the handle, it pushed the cam towards the switch, which would connect one set of contacts and the plastic cam would turn to close one or the other sets of contacts
