Got it all wired up and running.
The ball of wire splice will be fixed when I find the male plug I need to make up another cord.
The reversing switch is in the back of the machine mounted in a box and it is all properly grounded.
There isn't one place on the machine that doesn't go to ground.
The original wasn't grounded and at that time it was common not to have grounded outlets.
Now I am ready to get this thing out of my way.
