Hi Kit,
I assume that this motor does not have a centrifugal switch and that it has a single capacitor.
Like this diagram. Assuming that the motor is symmetrical, simply moving the live wire from the left side of the capacitor to the right side will cause the motor to run the other way. Since your motor is dual voltage it maybe that one winding is a different value to the other. In which case it might be why the wires have been cut, ie to prevent damage to the motor.
If you know how to use a multimeter on the low ohms range you could discover if the windings are the same.
