Thanks Bo, lots of stuff to look at both places! Might be fun to try and build a gear box with right angle or worm gears.

I see on the second site they list the worm gears as right or left. Does that mean I should NOT try to turn them backwards for reverse gear motion of the dozer? I don't understand exactly how they work? I could probably use right angle gears. Is there a reason to use one vs the other is a setup like I'm planning?

You turn motor clockwise / right : if you want the result to be opposite use left turn and so on. If you use worm gears you got brake for free.
