<div>Good point, Tom. Seems a tough way to do it (unless a patent was involved). Wouldn't it be easier to run the shaft a little longer on one side (drive or driven, pick one) to put the bevel gear on the far side rather than the near side to get that reversal? (hopefully that makes sense). <br clear="none"></div>

<div>I seem to recall Dad talking about guys making hayrakes from trucks and flipping the axle over to reverse the drive direction so they had 4 reverse gears instead. <br clear="none"></div>
