I finally found a new 3/4hp electric motor for my old 54in. Atlas metal lathe, but the new Dayton motor is wired different than the old Hoover motor. I am trying to use the original drum switch that has 6 contacts 3 on each side with a seperate 110 cord coming into the drum to power up. There was 4 wires going to the Hoover motor and the Dayton has 7 that are P1-P2-T2-T3-T4-T5 and T8 and I need to know which motor leads connect to which terminal on the drum switch. I just don't want to let the smoke out of a new 250 dollar motor and my research so far dosen't show which terminals to use in the drum switch although I saw that T5 and T8 are the reversing wires. Please help if you can I am electrically challenged.--Leonard
 
Please be careful

Would have helped if you posted the motor wiring schematic from the motor such as the one I posted that I found on the web.I had to go look at my motor to verify the terminals you posted I couldn't remember from memory.And not sure what kind of drum switch also you have.
So I posted a picture of a 120 volt reversible motor diagram as it should be.
I think I should ad if your not 100% sure what your doing have a electrician assist you.Would hate for you to damage your investment.
Good luck and be safe
