I Run a Harley Davidson Service Department and the motor on my Tire Changer has gone out. The original motor is obsolete I need help wiring in the replacement motor. The Top pic is of the original motor (Century) and the bottom is the replacement (Marathon). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

The diagram on the new motor seems pretty self-explanatory. I am assuming a 120 Vac mains voltage. Use the connections shown for "Lo Volt" wiring. Swap the indicated leads if the motor rotation is backwards from what you need.
For 115v operation -
You should have a pair of wires going to the existing motor. Connect one of the wires to a terminal with the black, white and yellow wires. Connect the other to a terminal with the blue orange and red wires.
If the motor rotates in the wrong direction, this can be corrected by swapping the red and black wires over.
