Glenn, Yes, the seat was turned around and on a separate (raised) platform. My grandfather had four of these machines on the farm southeast of Bakersfield, CA. Two were on M chassis and two were on Super M chassis. Only one time did he remove the basket and platform to use it as a row-crop tractor. It was just too much hassle to change back and forth. I'm not certain how travel direction reversal was accomplished but I do know when it was changed over there were 5 speeds in the direction the seat faced. The belly pump operated two hydraulic circuits through a selector valve. One circuit raised the drum and the other dumped the basket.

As a kid it sure was neat to spit over the side from that height...until I got caught one time. It was the first piece of machinery I ever 'steered.' He told me to keep the row going between those "pointy things" in front. We quit growing cotton by the time I got to first grade. There is a good picture of one on the back cover of Red Power magazine a couple of issues back.

That was 10 years before I was born, so I grew up thinking that 8N was the world's best tractor. Grandpa had greenhouses, with over half an acre under glass, and that 8N did almost everything.
