(Bi-directional) TV 140-145 Engine upgrade

Has anyone replaced the engine with someting in the 180-200 Hp range? Are the Front and rear PTO's of these machines seperated? Running each off the front and rear of the engine. If I ran a front disc mower (60 Hp required) and twins in the rear (120Hp required) with a replaced 180-200 Hp engine would I tear out the PTO?

FYI: I've since been in contact with a dealer, they've indicated independent PTO's with a 75 Hp limit on the front PTO. (Yopu'd be power short running a bat wing Mower conditioner or 15' plus hydro swing in this fashion. Still ran in the conventional direction, replacing a blown engine with something in the 180-220 Hp range would be far cheaper than a new front PTO tractor!

Still not sure exactly what engine I would replace this with or whether I would need an exact front to back fit. i've put this on hold at the moment and am thinking of ROR import from Europe WITH MUCH FASTER ROAD SPEEDS!
