I admit I am not familiar with the KOP drive train, but it might be easier to figure out how to mount them on the outer live axles instead of to the transmission? For the method I described above all you really need is a 1/4" hole at the center of one of the other live axles.
The only live axles are the center wheel/gearbox output. The outer wheels are on dead axles.
