I recognized the Cat #3k787 as coming from Grainger:
Motor, 2 HP, 60 Hz - Air Compressor Motors - Definite Purpose Motors - Motors : Grainger Industrial Supply (http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/MARATHON-ELECTRIC-Air-Compressor-3K787)

Contact Grainger customer support for the wiring diagram.

The GE number will be unique as being manufactuered for Grainger.

Do the wires have very small numbers on them and what are they?
