Hooked up my drum switch today!

Installed a Furnas J2 reversing drum switch to my 1919 South Bend 13" lathe today. Hooking it up wasn't bad. Took about an hour to do start to finish. It is fully wired single phase 230v going by this diagram. Power is turned on and off via a switch so there are no live leads going to the motor.

I just didn't fully understand what you were talking about with your diagram. I just wanted to make sure I got the motor wired up as per what the tag shows about t5 and t8 needing to be switched to reverse direction. I don't know much about wiring a/c motors, I just don't want to burn something out testing things I'm unsure of.

Waste not want not. After your success you could wipe off the greasy fingerprints with the towel drawing!
