Please Help...GE tri-clad motor wiring 8 Wires

I have a vintage South Bend Vertical mill i have been trying everywere to find help and no one around here has any knowledge about this type of wiring,Been searching forums here and other places but seems like i have a ODDBALL Motor or something LOL.,
I have all the specs,Pictures and try to supply any information i can BUT,I know nothing about Motor wiring language,I am A Wrench head so i am not scared to try things and get hands dirty thou HEHE
Now to the basics::::
I am new hear so i will get this site figured out also cause i do know my PUTERS also
South Bend Vertical Mill
Tag Says::::
GE Tri-Clad motor (Model 5KC18oDJ208)
PH)1 HP)1 No. PW
Volts 115/230 Amps 13/6.5
Cycles 60 Rpm 1725 service factor 1.25
Time rating Cont. FRAME 180x Type KC
Code K Conn. Diag. 732A640

No wiring diagram on motor or under any plates this is all i can come up with. I will post pictures now,
I want to let you know I have paired up the wires with tape as i checked them with OHMs meter. Wires are all marked with metal tab with only a# on them 2-8 and there is one wire not labeled which i assume is # 1
I want to wire this up as 220
line in will be 2 hots and a ground

Here's a couple diagrams from standard NEMA motor connections, with labeling.

I think what you may need to do is take off the rear end bell to see if the motor has a centrifugal starting switch inside, like the diagrams show.

That external relay, with its exposed terminals, looks like an add on unit. The caps are enclosed and have the proper covers and mounting clips.

The relay may have been added externally because the internal switch has a problem. There are other starting relays today that could be substituted if need be.

Any Luck Yet?

I'm refurbishing a South Bend milling machine and am having the same issue as you. Have you found the correct wiring for your motor or at least something that will work?

Thanks!
