The engine is mounted in the same fashion as it is in all other Cub Cadets, but it drives a right-angle gearbox that drives a belt that drives the rear. The rear is much smaller and lighter than the normal Cub rear, and it's not as strong. It probably works alright for mowing, but any ground-engaging equipment would probably destroy it. I remember being at a plow day once where someone was plowing with one of these and broke it. I also believe that some of the gear drive green tractors had that rear.
