Rc60-25 mmm on b7100?

[afonz18]

So I picked up a rc60-25 mid mount mower to use on my b7100hst. I am missing any tractor side brackets so I found a rc60-20 bracket. I figured I can modify to make it work but I don't know how it's supposed to work. Any suggestions or pictures of the mounting is greatly appreciated

The factory MMMs for that tractor are the RC60-71B and the RC54-71B. The manual for those can be downloaded from Kubotabooks.com, and includes diagrams that may help you figure out what you need to modify on yours.

Thanks Torch.
That is helpful.
Has anyone attempted to mount an rc60-25 to a b7100 or similar modification.

By the looks of it I need to cut the mount I have and mount it to the clutch housing. - how far out do these mounts stick out?
How does the deck lift and lower?
Do I need a mount on the front bumper? Some seem to have it, others don't?
Also my deck doesn't seem to have a place for it to mount.

Thanks for any help. Much appreciated

Page 5 of that manual shows how it hangs from the sides of the front bumper. Page 7 shows the linkage from the lift arms to the 3 point hitch arms. Once all the hangars are in place, one drives over the deck and hooks it up to the hangars and forward facing PTO. Page 14 shows how the mower can be locked in the raised position, allowing use of the 3ph with another implement temporarily.

Honestly, I tried mine when I got the tractor and was not impressed. The lift travel is very limited and the weight of the tractor made the deck dig in pretty hard on moderate swales. I took it off and use the lawn tractor for mowing.
