If you're doing it for the challenge of the project, go for it. If you're doing it for practical purposes, spend the money on a used zero-turn.

On the Mishubitshi built Case-IH chassis they did offer a front 60" mount mower. We might still have one or two if not still mounted on one.

Here's some links to a few pictures of a homemade front drive on an AC tractor:

I have a few more pictures that the owner sent me if that would help. If I recall this was converted from a rear drive unit.

FWIW. Andrew.
