Hi Gigabit878,
In a three phase induction motor, reversing any two of the three wires will change the rotation direction.
In a single phase induction motor, the direction is controlled by a starting capacitor. Change the pole on which it it placed will reverse the direction it starts and then runs in.
For synchronous motors, a shading ring (often copper) is placed on one of the armatures - swap the ring location to the opposite armature..
For universal motors, swap the wiring of the brushes.

@blakeklein I have an old motor that’s labeled “Split Phase A.C. Motor.” Here’s a photo of the wiring. Any idea what I should switch to reverse the rotation of this motor?
