Reversed tractors were very common in the Nebraska sand hills during the late 40's on into the 70's. They were primarily used to push hay sweeps for harvesting prairie hay. The hay was generally put up in small stacks and used to winter cattle. There were no big round or big square bailers in those days. The most efficient method of harvesting prairie hay in the sand hills was, and in some areas still is to make small stacks that can be moved to sheltered areas with hay sleds for wintering your herd. AC & IHC models were mostly used because the ring gears were probably the easiest to reverse by simply turning them over. I have never seen a reversed Case, but Case rear ends were often used to build hay sled winches. The chain drives were robust and it was easy to increase pulling power by reversing the sprockets.
