I've got a NFE WD that I'd like to cram a belly mower on. I've run across a Woods 60" that came off a B. Here's the Craigslist link. https://huntsville.craigslist.org/grd/d/reduced-woods-belly-mower-60/6246211409.html%20" rel="nofollow - https://huntsville.craigslist.org/grd/d/reduced-woods-belly-mower-60/6246211409.html

any idea how to make this work?

You might want to go to the Woods web site. They may have made a mounting kit for the WD and might still have some available.
Frankly, I do not recall any mountings made for the WD however, it is worth a look. They may have pictures of a mounting that may help you.
Good Luck!

I would look for one that was made to have the drive pulley on the PTO shaft instead of a B/C type that runs off the belt pulley due to the idlers for the belt being different. The B/C type are left hand rotation while the PTO shaft type are right hand,, must be a reason for it.

The woods mounting kit for a WD includes a v-belt pulley that goes on the PTO shaft. ive only seen a L306 mounted on a WD. A 60" mower is to narrow for a WD. A finish mower is one place where more power dosent make it better. itll only clear discharge so fast more power just means your going to break it before it stalls and those long belts a expensive.
