Questions about my belly mower on 4100, maybe customize it?

Hi guys. when using my 60" belly mower I cant use my rear 3pt as they both go up and down at the same time. I thought I heard of a kit to pin the belly mower up when I want to use the rear 3pt? The other thing Im considering is converting my belly to rear mount. Has anyone done this? Any pics to share? thanks!!

It's called a 'latch kit' I believe. It is basically just two brackets that bolt to the frame, and two turnbuckles attached to a short length of chain. It keeps the brackets that ride on top of the 3ph in the up position.

Converting it to a rear mount would involve a lot of fab work as well as changing the rpm and possibly rotation of the pto.

I would get the hydraulic lift kit, then it just uses the rear hyd. remotes for the deck and keeps the 3 point independent.
