I would think that if you're considering a swap like that you would by now be nose deep into the service manuals and parts books.
1. You need to determine if the two wheel drive tractor has or can be adapted to accept a transfer case. I'm more familiar with Fords, but back in their day they had different housings. There wasn't an arpeture for the transfer case on the two wheel drive.... So figure that out first.
2. Next thing to figure out is whether or not the MFWD axle and front bolster will fit. It might. It might not... Again, dig in the parts book.
3. Assuming all else is a go, then you'd look at the ratios. you'd need to compare the transmission output ratio, transfer case ratio and rear axle ratios of the two tractors to see that they are compatiable. There are often several transfer cases and ratios used to adapt according to rear tire size. There are also different transmission output ratios that are sometimes used for the same reason. You need to make sure that you get the correct lead on the front axle which is generally between 1% and 5%.
It's probably easier to just trade tractors and get the MFWD inthe size you need rather than go thorough all that work...

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
