You're correct that this, or any similar installation, is way over-powering the drive train. However....as long as the tractor isn't weighted enough to put all that horsepower to the ground, the rear end will take it. That doesn't mean you could put a plow behind it and plow 10mph and expect the bearings to last, but it you stay even close to reasonable ground speed and ballast on the rear, it'll last a long, long time. A bigger danger than cooking the rear end with a conversion of this type is having all that extra power/speed flip the tractor due to the operator losing control.
