Check out my thread below on mower deck repair. It shows what was a pto driven 60 inch from a 5000 series Cub Cadet adapted to my 1872. It can be done if you have a mule drive and suitable undercarriage to use. I had a rusted out 46 in GT deck that I got the mounting brackets and jack shaft pulleys from to do the conversion. Since I modified a Haban 60 in undercarriage to hang it, it works very well. One thing, you need to make sure that you get the blade speed correct for the deck. I had to do some calculations and did change one pulley on the jackshaft to correct it. Good luck.
