So the front axle drives the rear axles at the exact same speed via the chain drive. Do that on one or both sides. This would work on either a hydro or gear drive rear end.
I saw something similar to what you are talking on a large truck (early semi) at an antique show. It ran a belt between the axles on each side. May have been a Mack?
