Default Reversing Attic Fan Motor Direction Possible?

I am replacing the old attic fan motor with a slightly less used one
from another house. The motor is a a two speed motor, but this house
is only a one speed wiring and switch.
After installing it, using only the high speed terminal, the fan is
going in the wrong direction. I tried reversing the wires in the box
to see if that'd reverse the direction but no joy.
Does this indicate that this motor cannot reverse direction?


Is there a belt you can cross?

Sure you aren't using the wrong pitch blade from the old fan with the 'new'
motor?
