It is probably down low on the right side of the transmission near your right foot. It moves up and down. Down is engaged, up is free. It does not move very far. I don't have pictured to post but can take one if needed.
Also you might look at the online parts catalog for your tractor. You can find these at dealers like Affordable Tractor or Circle G Tractor.

Loader bracing to rear axle
How many of you have tied the bell housing loader bracket to the rear axle? The first year I had my Jinma I learned on CTOA that some were breaking the bells and breaking the tractor in half. Some speculated that it was abuse/backhoe etc. but I didn't take any chances and modded mine. Welded a...

Oops sorry wrong thread
That’s quite alright. I haven’t found where it disengages yet. I’ll try to look again today. Thanks for everyone’s help.

For some reason there aren't any diagrams for the Foton on the Circle G site. However taking a leap of faith that it is the same as the Jinma 254 you can find diagrams for that. If you look under Drive Gearbox there are two images. The main engage lever is shown on the first image and the two speed selector is on the second image.
At one time the two speed (540/1000 RPM) was an option so your tractor may not have that lever if it only has a single speed PTO. The speed select lever does have a neutral position but that does NOT disengage the main PTO shaft that is driven by the clutch (2nd stage if you have that).
IF the clutch is out of adjustment you may have trouble getting the PTO to engage without grinding the gears a little but you should always be able to dis-engage just by pulling on the lever.
I'll try to get some photos of my Jinma 284 and get them posted later today.

I have a rod sticking up through the floorboard on the right side. I thought it was differential but I may be mistaken. I’ll check it out in the morning. Thank you very much sir!
