Replacing RC 60-F20 mower deck

[napnative29]

I have a F2100 tractor with a RC 60-F20 mower deck. The mower deck is quite rusty so much so the belt will not stay on. Will some newer mower deck work with the F2100?
Looking on E-Bay I noticed A RCK 60-F30 deck that may work with a change of the Mower Links, is this something that would work?
I am new to this site.

I cannot answer your question but have a caution from researching a mower deck swap for another member.

The direction of rotation of the gear box input shaft needs to be checked.

In the previous case, the two mower's input shafts rotated in opposite directions so the newer deck would not work.

It is possible there are changes that coould be made to the gearbox to reverse the rotation but this was not explored.

Dave, Thanks for mentioning checking the rotation, I will verify that.

The image below is one I saved from a much earlier forum issue.

It shows how easy it can be to change the direction of rotation of some gearboxes.

For what is worth, looking from the tractor side , my turns clock wise.
