Hi,

I don't think it's possible to just mount the reduction box backwards.
You can probably replace the gears, but than you will have to figure out how many teeth each gear will have to have
to increase the speed.
If you do intend to do this, I am very curious about your ideas.
Best regards,
Pascal

Fordson's don't leak oil, they are just marking their territory.
