We'r having too much fun to listen to common sense.
You could install a front-type locking hub in the rear by machining splines
into the existing flange. You need to find a machine shop with a solid
carbide hobbing (?) tool since the flange is hardened.
Don't road tractors have locking interaxle differentials?
