B6200 Tractor Mid PTO Drive Conversion

[morganthegreat]

Hello,
I’ve got this Kubota B6200 rocking a 60RC-72H mid mower deck, but guess what? I totally got the wrong mid PTO drive! I ended up with a 60RC-72H mid PTO drive that’s actually meant for a front PTO.

Has anyone out there tried to make this work, or do you know if it’s even possible?
Any tips would be super appreciated! Thanks!

I recall working on a B6200 back in the early 2000s and I've seen a few setups similar to yours. The RC60-72H deck was built to be mid-mounted but depending on the tractor model, it could be driven from either the front or mid PTO. If you have the version intended for front PTO, you may be able to rotate the gearbox 180 degrees and remount it to align with the mid PTO shaft. A few guys have done that with success but you'll need to check the clearance and belt alignment once it's flipped. Did you ever get the mower mounted and running or are you still working out the drive connection? If you've already resolved it, I'd be interested to hear how it turned out.
