Reversing tractor involves about a half day of shop activity with a good hoist and knowing what you are doing, plus a transmission cover that will allow putting the shifting forks on the opposite side of the pinion shaft. Some tractors came with a three cornered plate on the cover in addition to the shifter lever. Lever will work, but shifter rails with forks are different. They probably could be cut, turned and rewelded if a permanent conversion. Once you get the cover off the tractor, slide axles out, remove brake pinions and housings on each side, remove the ring gear and differential and swap to the other side of the pinion gear. Be sure to check gear shimming before/during reassembly. I have done this job in the past; if you have questions, email or call. Pretty sure I can find part numbers and pictures. I may have a cotton picker transmission cover off an "M" but not a "400". If you are looking, a low drum picker tractor was reversed in this way. High drum picker tractors had a bull gear housing bolted onto different axle housings, similar to an "MV" tractor, but different.
