EDIT: I have added a PDF for a 1 1/8 HP G.E. Motor Model 5KC37PN186A after the 3/4hp motor on 7/19/2021
Bill Mayo showed a couple pictures of reversing a G E Motor in an Emerson motor thread in 2014. viewtopic.php?t=14341
My question is where did he hook the leads in from the power cord. I have my 3/4 hp G E motor back together after separating the run and start wires and am waiting on a DPDT switch.
I reversed an A. O. Smith 1 1/8 hp and that turned out great. Thanks to joshh for the AO Smith thread viewtopic.php?f=10&t=12664 and benmcn for the pdf version viewtopic.php?p=266179#p266179

Re: G E Motor Reversing
This may add to the confusion, but the power attaches at term 5 junction and the run winding/capacitor junction.
This illustrates dual voltage wiring.╔═══╗

Re: G E Motor Reversing
Thanks JPG for getting me headed in the right direction. The 5 was under the metal strap that holds the coil and the relay to the motor. Confused I guess!
Some other pictures along the way. [/attachment] I will be changing the length of the way and bench tubes as soon as I get a chance. I bought this Shopsmith because I needed the legs and casters for another unit. When I found out it had a G E motor I decided to try the reverse setup. The sanding disk and grinder don't need the reverse just had to put something on it.
It does run forward and reverse.Some other pictures along the way. [/attachment] I will be changing the length of the way and bench tubes as soon as I get a chance.
