Most of the older gear-drive Peerless/Tecumseh transaxles were this way. They are kind of heavy for a pedal tractor, though.

A multiple-sprocket and derailleur system like on a ten-speed bike should work.

You might look into the Shimano Nexus hub. Seven speeds, internal gear.

If I'm understand right,in effect you are looking for a "differential" version of a "live axle"? Or do you need selectable gears?
If the former,one of the most common,would be a Peerless 100/100A series(-----[]-----)used on millions of pre-transaxle mid&rear engine riders,along with a separate F/R or 2-4 speed gearbox.I've built 3 adult bicycle trikes with these.As to transaxles,many of the older Murray lawn tractors had horizontal input 3-4 spd TAs.
