Most motors will turn either direction. A motor is stupid; it sits and hums until something gives it a push one way or t'other.
You wire a single phase motor to give it a start cw or ccw by changing a couple wires under the plate which makes the starter windings give an initial push.
I have only one motor on the farm that is not reversable and it must be 60 years old.
