Can anyone advise me on putting a finish belly mower on my 1947 John Deere tractor?
The tractor has the wide front end...
Has this been done before? Please advise
Thank you,
Mike

I have a L59 Woods Deck on a 1950 B, with a narrow front. It does a great job, but if you mow in 4th gear the front wheels leave a track. With a wide front, it ought to make a pretty good mower. It's a helluva lot cheaper than a new JD Rider with a 60" Deck. If you really want to go uptown throw a aftermarket power steering unit on it.

i just sold one that came on a JDM that i bought. It was a Woods Rotary Mower model L59 and the manual says it will fit on M,MS,40S,320S.330S,420S,430S, 40U, 40W, 320U, 330U,420U,430U,440U,1010RS &U. The one i had would not fit on my MT. Where it bolts to the final drive is different on the MT. Woods is a division of Hesston Corporation. Good Luck

I have a 48 model M with wide front and have a belly mower on it. It's the Woods model L-59. It does an excellent job, have had it on for many years now. My grandfather bought the mower and kit from a Woods dealer and we installed it ourselves. Unsure of the cost now but it was over $1,000 when we did it probably 15 years ago. You have to remove the drawbar and use the lift. Chains hook to the lift and route around to the front of the mower deck for lift. It has 2 bars running from the back of the tractor that assist the lift. It is a flexble deck so it works well on un-even terrain. Look at the woods website or other woods sites. I've seen pictures of these on-line before and it gives models and what decks they can take.
