I am replacing the old attic fan motor with a slightly less used one

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?

If it has a capacitor to start/run then yes it can be reversed. But you
have to know what you are doing. Find an electrician/AC friend to do it
for you, or take the motor to a rebuilding service. They should do it
for a coupla bucks. It only involves moving a spade lug over.
