You could change the linkage to move the control the same direction for forward then. The Cub rears can have the ring gear on either side. It makes no difference. In tractor pulling some guys run their tractors off the pto side of the engine instead of off the flywheel. When they to that they change the ring gear to the opposite side.

I swapped the charge pump around on my "test" rear end and voila! The rear end works backwards with the input spinning clockwise. No need to swap the ring gear or change the swash plate.
I need to start another thread now.
