wiring a reversing switch

i'm switching the motor on a Delta light duty shaper. It currently has a Craftsman 115 serial number motor on it (cap start, 1/2 hp) with shorted windings. I have a Craftsman 113.19053 emerson built motor to put on it (3/4hp cap start). I assumed i could reverse engineer it after i had the motors open, tracing each wire to make sure i connect them correctly, but the newer motor is a bit different on the inside - same basic parts, but the overload switch is wired differently, and none of the wires are numbered. They do have color coding. I'm looking for information on how to identify the wires and connect the reversing switch.
Thanks in advance,
Paul Hubbman
