Easiest way i could think of is take the trans apart, super clean the pinion gears and weld em together - only drawback is it could break if its not a clean strong weld.

Other thing would be to take the trans to a machine shop and have a straight rear axle installed- defintely 1 1/4" or larger.

Might be more cost freindly wise to buy a spare trans, and have it modded or see if a lockable trans could be found- i know some older bolens tractors use a manual engagement lockable trans ( twist the knob on the axle end).

Only drawback is it wont turn worth a darn with a locked rear end .
