You have a 3 phase Delta wound motor typically see it on  foreign
equipment   most USA motors are Y wound and have 9 leads depending how
you wire it it works on 230 or 480  vac etc. leads should be T1 thru
T6 yes you can ring out the coils I had some paper work that gave
instruction will see if i can find it for you
the 2 wires coming out back might be for stepper control or a overload
or remote switch application  can you send me picture.
