Default 2:1 gear box ?

I have a right angle gear box with 1" shafts which I am using to make a
firewood saw bench which will run off the PTO of my tractor. The gear box is
a 2:1 ration. 2 pinion turns = 1 ring gear turn. Can I use this the opposite
way and put power into the ring gear shaft and run my saw pulleys off of the
pinion gear shaft. Can these gearboxes be used either way or does the power
have to enter through the pinion gear? Thanks
