As for the flipable plates, we kept the section in the bottom corner so we had the ability to add a power takeoff if we wanted to later. It is an inconvenient spot for a power takeoff as it is on the bottom of the gearbox but we thought is was better than nothing.

Here is a link to a step file of the gearbox.

What about other mechanisms, what were their power draws?
