You can easily swap the control plate to the opposite side on the right side hydro. You could raise the axle combo up then run the tracks over the idlers at each end for a genuine Hi-Drive. That leaves you free to use a conventional track tension system as well.
With the axle mounted higher than the drive shaft from the engine, you can have three pulleys in an inverted triangle with the hydro inputs on top.
Sawdustdad, I don't think you can maneuverer your way out of building something now. You dangled the trailers in front of us, now we want the movie!

An intriguing concept, for sure. It would increase the track width by a foot or so.
I'm planning to build something.
