From what I understand, there is a stamp on the case that provides the ratio. Haven't checked it personally.

You can always verify it by rotation of the axle.

Hold one axle flange, or wheel, stationary.

Turn the other wheel 10 full revolutions and watch the drive shaft or the input flange.

Count the rotations of the drive shaft or input flange. Divide the rotations of the drive shaft, or input flange by 20. That's your ratio.
