I have a Holmes Products Window Fan Model HAWF 2085T
This model has two fans, two motors.  
These fans run 2 speeds, and are reversible for exauhst and intake.
 
My question is how can wire one motor separate from the other, to just run at a single speed.  I can control on/off with plug... 
 
These motors have 5 wires

How are they wired now?  Two of the wires are for the speeds, two for the directions, one is common.  I have no idea which is which without looking at it.

I'll snap some pics tonight, but I've mangled the original state it was in.  There were two switches(one for each fan) for direction, and one common switch for Off, Lo, Hi.  I think I can find another one like it and show the original setup.  Somewhere in the testing of wires, I found a 60 volt reading?  But then there were also 2 (relay?)green little boxes which said 240 on them, and the grey wire was hooked to these.  Complicated I know, Ill try to get the pics up... 
Do you think this can be run without added components? (relays resistors etc.)

Ok, I was thinking they were double-wound shaded pole motors.  Looks like they are PCS motors.  If you wire it as it was originally, it should be very easy to add a second two speed switch to control each motor independently.

Thanks for speedy reply sir, my problem is I need to use a motor seperatly out of the casing for a project, which creates my problem :-)
 
Appears this motor is a "Raider Motor"  How would I find this manufacturer, not listing on Google..

I don't see why that's a problem.  You wire it the same way outside of the casing that you would in.
 
It will require the little green box that goes to it and equivalent switches.
