I'd be looking for a used tractor WITH a deck, then sell the tractor and keep the deck.

Yea that sounds like a good plan. I have an opportunity to get a 782 that has a good 48", but I know I'll end up keeping the tractor, and spending more money than intended.
That's a real good piece of info on the mule drive. I would have been really upset trying to mount it to the old style and realizing this. This is what makes these forums great, people coming together to help out.
Thanks!
