Okay, I have a 220v single phase motor that I'd like to wire a forward/stop/reverse switch to.

I've come across this wiring diagram.

I don't have a T2 or T3, will this wiring diagram still work?
 
Where did you get the hand written drawings? Interchanging 5 and 8 reverses the motor I am missing something. Where did T2 and T3 come into this. Your drawings seem to be a complete motor. A 4 pole double throw, center off switch will do the trick.

Yep, 5 and 8 if reversed will reverse the motor.

T2 and T3 only exist on motors with 2 voltages, yours presumably has only one voltage. Ignore them, wire as shown.
 
I'm new here and thought this thread already has some info on wiring a 220 motor in reverse so I'm putting my problem here.

The motor is a king Canada 2 hp 115/230 volt single phase 3460 rpm.
It may not be the original motor in my king shaper but I'm not really sure.

It's wired to only go in one direction and doesn't have it's original switch.

It is 1 to L1 , j2, 5, j3 joined together, 4 , 8 to L2.

Would I just need to change the 5 and 8 and how would I set it up to be ready for a reversing switch.

setting up a breter switch with my shaper

I did get reverse to work by switching 5 and 8.

I have a breter switch which I got from the same persons estate sale but it was not on the shaper. after testing it for continuity I came up with this..
can I run my L1 straight to the plug? I found diagrams that suggest a shutoff switch after the reversing switch. Would what I show in my first image work safely or not work?
