Thank you all who responded to my request for help. 

With guidance from several and in particular Oliver Viitamaki I have managed to figure out the wiring and the machine is running beautifully.

Michael:  I haven’t gotten much response on the shop talk list, but this seems helpful:

 

“I'm not familiar with your application but a typical reversable AC motor is controlled by a SPST center-off switch.  The motor has three leads.  One is connected to neutral directly.  The other tow wires have a run capacitor connected between them.  Applying power to one of these two leads will make the motor run in one direction and applying power to the other lead will make the motor run in the opposite direction.  There should be a label on the motor somewhere indicating which wire is which.”

Posting for a friend:

 

I have purchased an old machine named a Kemsway Tire Conditioner. 

I'm overhauling it to hopefully use to shave tires on wire wheels.

I have all the mechanical issues resolved but am stumped when it comes to rewiring the 110 volt single phase reversable cutter motor.

Anyone out there who is knowledgeable on AC motor wiring who would be prepared to offer some assistance.

All the best,
