Some of the PTO's can be torn down and have the guts swapped in so that it drives the other way pretty simply. I 've done this already. The PTO I have on my transmission is a big military unit that is actually like a three speed transmission. It has a low, high, and reverse all in the PTO. It can't be changed to drive out the other direction. The only thing a guy could do with a big deuce tranny is to find a double output PTO from a wrecker or dump truck with a front winch. New, over $700 for the double out. I have the drive on the driver's side for both of my winches. The front drives though the front crossmember, via bearing housings, then chain drives up, and over to the winch drive. I did this so that the winch could be mounted higher and deeper into the truck. On my rear winch, it would be like taking a front winch straigh back the chassis and mounting it. The drive is still on the driver's side only I dissasembled the drive side and flipped the worm drive so that it could be driven from what was originally it's front side via a PTO and shaft from the NP205. It worked out great as you drive the rear PTO from the T-case through the tranny. My rear PTO is a Muncie unit with a reduction in it...which was perfect!! I've got 5 speeds pulling and 1 power out speed if needed. You pick up a deuce winch and you will not need to look any further. The drive parts in them are really beefy too!!
