Someone I know offered me this first choice finish mower for 75.00. I know zero about finish mowers.

I know it needs wheels, at least a pulley and belts. Don't know what else.

He knows nothing supposedly about it. He traded it for some paint work.

Deck width is 5 foot. I dont even know if its missing parts to hook it up to my small kubota B series 2 wd tractor.

Looked underneath it and deck is fairly clean with minimal rust. Blades seem to turn freely, possibly smoothly..

Can you guys look at the 2 pictures and tell me if my tractor is big enough to work it.

Thanks

For that price you can’t go wrong but I don’t think your tractor is big enough.

The PTO shaft alone is worth $75. It is large for your tractor, but might work if you drive slooowly. I would buy it, use it, look for a 4 foot model, and then sell this one.

12hp & 60" is 12" too far.
You can get away with a 48" mower but 60"?
Your tractor doesn't have the hp to turn the gear box and spindles with any sort of efficiency.
Like airbiscuit says:
Buy this and sell it. The profit will buy a nice 48" for you to use.

Can someone confirm by looking at pics that nothing major is missing/ that I can hook it up to my B series or my L series without having to buy a shitton of parts.

I really dont have the money right now to get involved with something that's gonna require alot of cash outlay just to hook up to my tractor

I don’t see the second half of the pto shaft in the picture.
