Ac to dc

If it is just a simple dc motor and rectifier with no other controls, then you hook the incoming switched ac line to the two terminals on the rectifier marked with a sine wave. The two wires from the motor go to the two remaining terminals on the rectifier. The positive terminal on the rectifier will be marked with a symbol and goes to the positive lead of the motor.

You can put a choke on the load side of the capacitor circuit--this will knock the voltage back down to what you need---if you can, check out the control circuit on those treadmill motors everybody talks about--they have the choke in there for the same reason.
 
Ok I finally got my motor hooked up I had to purchase a new bridge rectifier I got it wired to go forward and reverse with a drum switch. Not being an electrician and knowing nothing about electric motors I was able to do this with help from the members here thanks
 
I am glad it worked out for you.
