I'm also confused by the wcp 3 cim pto design. It's much thicker than it needs to be. To begin with, the distance the shifting dog travels is about twice what it needs to be. A quick reconfigure of the design let me slim the gearbox down by 1.25". There's a ton of wasted space. Also, the outer plate needs to hold 3 bearings, 4 standoff mounts, and 4 cylinder mounts, yet it has spots for mounting the CIMS. Again, this could be make significantly smaller.
I'll post a picture of what i'm talking about in an hour or so.

If I'm not mistaken, the distance between the gear and the PTO is probably to allow versatility in adding Versahubs/Versapulleys; ie, you're not restricted to using pulleys of a certain thickness/can use multiple pulleys/sprockets.
