Thanks!
It wouldn't be a very good gearbox if it couldn't....

but seriously, if you factor in the losses at each stage due to gears the gearbox is probably in the 60-70% efficiency range (overall) which means that the gearbox would have a stall torque of approximately 261.18 N/m or 192.63 ft/lbs (depending on the actual efficiency)
