I also don't see a second pancake piston; are you assuming it's below the CIMs coaxial with the 60-tooth gear?

What 2 PTO gears?
ohhhh I see now. What I assumed to be a gear for the PTO, the thing right behind the front plate, is the carrier plate (answers one of my questions). What I assumed was "gear teeth" now look like the geometry that locks the carrier plate when the piston pushed down. Everything I said earlier is nonsense then . My revised guess is that the PTO is the piece of metal connected to the ring gear with a 1.875'' bolt circle on it, connected to nothing yet.

Yes, I'm assuming that there is a second piston there based on ABS-111, the closest iteration of this I can find online, plus I can't think of a way that the top piston can possibly reach and engage the sun gear even with a third state. Edit: Also, the holes in the gearbox plate near the output, assuming identical gearbox plates, suggest a mount for the Vexpro pancake piston.
