Leeson 220 single phase how to wire to square D 2601 drum switch????

You may have to swap T5 and T8 if the motor rotation doesn't match the switch handle label
I connect motor leads 2,3,5 together, run motor lead T1 to drum switch number 1 along with one leg of the 220, the other leg goes to drum switch number 5, Motor lead T8 goes to drum 3, and Motor T4 goes to drum 4 with a jumper to 6.

Did I state that correctly
 
Yep that's correct
There's a thermal protector in the motor but I didn't show it to keep things simple
FYI: motor needs to come to a full stop before reversing, and this is why I'm not a big fan of drum switches: if you wanted to cut the power and slammed the switch in the reversed direction by mistake, the motor would continue running in the previous direction
Contactor setups are better and safer in that regard
