The Mott Hammerknife mower was a belly-mount flail mower. As I said, it does a really good job on a lawn...probably better than the Woods 59 or the International 3-blade 5-foot belly mower.

Just remember that the Cub doesn't have a standardized 540-rpm PTO...the Cub PTO runs at engine speed, usually 1800 rpm. So the Cub PTO would overspeed a regular rear-mount flail mower...UNLESS you can find the gear-reduction unit that IH also sold for the Cub--which, BTW, also reverses the direction of PTO rotation to correspond with the standard used by the rest of the ag world.
