Dad used to have a couple Cockshutt 40s. Guy from up by Pocahontas did exactly that, bought the 40s for the rear-ends, and built an articulated arrangement like the white 4-150. Won hands down for years in its weight class at the tractor pull.

It's not the bull gear you want to reverse. It's something like reversing the crown gear relative to the bevel pinion shaft, if I recall the terms correctly. But I'm told that depending on how the casting is done, it's not possible to do it to some tractors without grinding down the casting; not a trivial task. That's one of the still-future steps to my Cockshutt 30 homemade HoneyBee-like retrofit (likely one of the very last steps.) After the crops are out I'll probably have time to get back to it, I'm thinking/hoping.
