Basically, the PTO output is a "dead axle" sprocket, not a shaft (which I dislike but is hard to work around).
So that thing that looks in the render like a round disk between the ring gear and the 64-tooth gear is actually a #25 sprocket? This would certainly be convenient in that PTO could be geared up or down by a factor of about 2 through selection of a PTO receptor sprocket.
