Hi!, I just brought back to life a 160 hour B6200 that had been sitting in the original owners garage. Any advise on finding a under belly mower attachment?
I love this thing!
Thanks!

Either you got a buy of the century needing little nothing to restore a pristine tractor..... or you did one hell of a restore. (or both)
Looks AMAZING. Got any pics / story of the restoration process?
As to what mower... others will chime in some assistance on that. Out of my league there.

Its all original! My good friends dad bought it in either 1983 - 1984. I was about 13 or 14 at the time and remember playing on it with his son. it has 160 hours on it. I bought 10 acres in Pasco county, Fl and remembered they had it. Sure enough, it was sitting on the same trailer in the same spot in the garage when we were kids. The father had passed away about 10 years ago. I asked his wife if I got it running could I use it. Her reply was "go for it". Fresh fuel, changed the coolant and engine oil, new alt belt and battery and it started up. The Bush Hog on the back is just as new. They had a Bush Hog finish mower attachment but it sat outside and is in poor shape. I would love to find a belly deck for it. The tires are dry rotted but still hold air. My friend and I just turned 45 this year and we just look at it and start laughing that its the same tractor his dad would yell at us to get off of! I sent the same picture that I posted to the daughter in the family and her first response was it reminded her of her dad.
So that's what my machine would look like when new huh!.....Very nice machine ya got there.
There was a deck for sale recently in the classified section......I think it should be a RC-60-72H http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20618
Take care of her!
