On this front, I just got off the phone with Chelsea and they said it's a clearance issue, the reverse idler support rib is too close to the output shaft to mount anything to the output shaft. Apparently they made a PTO with a longer shaft specifically for this application but have discontinued it.

I'm going to take some measurements, but since my PTO is the smaller (7/8") output shaft I think it might possibly be doable - maybe a little grinding needed?
