By shredded I guess you mean totally torn apart? I'd start with some better pictures so we can see the damage, and post the model number so it's easier to find the info you need.

Yes, better pics, the exact model number would be helpful. How many parts are we talking about? Like did they take the motor / stator apart, bearings out, etc... ? Or just pulled all the wiring apart?

Shredded by people or by critters?

^^ Yes, there maybe something there related to that model.
There is a PB SlideShow of wiring diagrams I put together here. --> http://s786.photobucket.com/user/torqueman2002/slideshow/CM%20009%20Wiring%20Schematics
But I didn't see an exact match.
Post your question(s) on the main Block grinder thread, too. "let's see your craftsman block grinders"

On the bottom plate is usually the wiring diagram... I guess it is too damaged or missing?
You might want to try googling that model # and see if you can find an old PDF manual. I found mine and it had the same wiring diagram as the bottom plate in the manual.

KT,
Just so you know what you have, that is a 1962 "pre block" grinder. A 1/2 hp with the heavy duty base/quench tray is a nice machine and desirable. The lamp alone is worth $50. If you have the tools rests, even better. Please don't get frustrated and throw it in the trash. At the very least, you have some valuable parts.
