Adding a MMM to a B6100E....Anyone done it? Suggestions?

[Conn]

After mowing today with Dad's B7200HST equipped with a 60" belly mower, I forgot how nice a mid mount mower is!

It looks as though my B6100E was equipped with a MMM at one point. There are several brackets and rods on the bottom, a large bracket in the rear that sits between the two rear tires, and a switch on the console to engage the front PTO.

From what I understand, the B6100Es weren't equipped with a mid mount PTO, but rather a splined output on the crankshaft that I assume was engaged by a magnetic clutch of some sort, since it's an electrical switch that engages it.

How universal are the mid mount mowers offered by Kubota? would a later model mower fit on my machine?

I have seen several units with a Woods brand MMM. I wouldn't mind converting this little tractor to a mid-mount, but I'm afraid I'd end up with more money in it than it's worth. I would imagine most of the parts for the front PTO are obsolete or out of production.


Has anyone sucessfully added a MMM to one of these little tractors with the PTO shaft coming off the front crank pulley???

You don't mention if you have a FEL. My B6100 also had a MMM at some point but not when I got it. I've read that the FEL needs to be the C version to allow a MMM while the loader is attached. The older versions like mine would need the subframe removed. I'd love to add one to mine but the FEL issue is not worth it to me. Do some searching on here and you'll find more info. I saw a post on here today listing someone with a 60inch for his 7100 which is close to identical to the 6100.

My B6100E has a mid PTO, it may be a later version than yours.

I added a mmm to my b6100dt. It is a woods brand, I bought it from my Kubota dealer. Bought it new in box and assembled it piece by piece. It works beautiful, only thing is I can't use my ag. tires with it only the turfs.

No. My B6100E doesn't have a FEL. Just a stripped down little tractor with a wore out finish mower on the back.

I've looked through the owners manual and parts manuals and can't find any breakdowns of what parts are involved with the front PTO clutch and belts.
