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.

Should have a label on it 540/1000 or 720 depending . Middle being neutral or disengaged. Some may have a separate lever for disengaging .

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!

On my 2006 504 it's a chrome lever on the forward side of the left rear fender well.
In other words, left of the driver. Push more or less up and down. Low is 540 rpm. Can't remember if it's labeled 540/1000 but I think it is.
Hard to find diagrams for these things. I have a bunch but you have to read between the lines for everything.
My experience so far, there's not much similar to a Jinma. I had a wiring problem I was chasing and someone
provided me a jinma diagram but not the same at all.

I have seen a t-handle rod sticking up on both right and left side floor but it was in an 85hp.
Mine has an unlabeled t-handle at my left heel which I eventually found out was to engage 4wd.
A small pedal at my right heels is for temporary diff lock.
Hope I'm helping and not just yammering.
My 254 had a lever on left of seat. It is the 540/1000 selector. I can’t find anything that shuts the pto off. My neighbor says it may be live, idk.

By can't shut it off do you men the pto shaft turns when there are no implements attached?
The stub shaft always turns on mine and I never worried about it, but I suspect if I had a safe way to hold it, while disengaged,
I could stop it from turning.
I've never got out and checked with an implement on, but the few inches of drive chain I can see on my snow blower stops with
the pto off, but again, the stub shaft turns with no implement.

It does turn with no implement. Maybe this is the way it’s supposed to be. Thank you sir

My theory is there is just enough drag through the clutch/gears that it turns a bit.
I guess one of us could jam a stick beside the pto output shaft and see if anything still turns??
