We totally eliminate the front half of the trans assembly. We use the the planetary section to shift gears, then attach the trans to a custom "shell" that houses the planetary ring which is inside the stock housing. We mount the 4 planetary gears on a custom outshaft and use roller bearings to support the shaft instead of the bushing and loose ball system the stock unit uses. I have the system modeled in Autocad 14 both in 3D and in 2D. Last year we used the stock bearings and I stiil have the drawings for that system as well. Last years machine worked flawlessly with this setup, this years should work the same with the added ability to shift and added torque from the addition of the Atwood motor to the hole shooters.
