I have a friend that built a side mower, from an old cub cadet L & G
tractor. Made a deck about 60", and uses the motor from th original
cub cadet, (still mountyed in the tractor itself to set on top of the
deck he made. Tractor is complete wioth just the wheels removed.
Deck looks just like any L & G garden tractor deck would look like.
THis entire assembly is then mounted with sway braces, and pulled
alongside a larger tractor with a belly mower. Cuts approx 11 feet
wide at a clip. The original Cub Cadet can be readly removed and
converted back to its original configuration without spending a lot of
time doing it.
