The main problem is that there are no internal sprockets inside the gearbox to provide power to the front and back wheels.
I feel like you could just run a sprocket off of the shaft, then chain the front and back axles to it, then direct drive the middle wheel. As long as the sprockets have the same number of teeth, I do not think that there would be a problem with this.
