Wiring metropolitan vickers motor to run in reverse?

[Shaun BelcherParticipant @shaunbelcher81617]

I've got a bandsaw that had a dead motor and have a spare vickers motor here to swap it with but it turns In the opposite direction.

Any ideas on how to wire these in reverse?

I'm pretty sure it's possible but the original cover is missing which would have had the wiring instructions.

I also forgot add that there is no capacitor on this motor like is sometimes seen on these.

Lots of previous posts about reversing single phase motors.

Do a search for "reverse" or "reverse motor"

Swap the black and the brown, plug it into an RCD, press the on switch

I've been reading several threads, but none make any sense to me. Every motor is different and I have no idea what each terminal goes where without the wiring diagram.
