Cooperino.....
Buddy, I've got the same background as you. Heavy equipment and fabrication. If I wanted to put a John Deere deck on a Cub, it would be done. But I would not come on this board looking for advice. As a long time member, I'm well aware of the abilities of the membership, and the desire of most of us to keep things as original as possible. There are exceptions though, and and members who can put a JD deck (example only) on a Cub and make it look like it came that way. Rescue11 is one of those guys. But, since you seem so adamant that our advice is bad, and no one is answering your questions, then show us how good you are. Again, as an experienced fabricator and mechanic on large equipment, I don't need help.... you shouldn't either. But if you want to argue about who's helpful, and when someone should or shouldn't post, I'd be glad to engage. I don't think the thread would make it very far though, as I'm willing to bet it is about to be closed. I assure you, the only person on this board who has done what you are asking and posted about it, is Rescue11. If anyone else has, they've kept quiet about it.
One more thing..... even if I had done it, I wouldn't give any advice on how to do it. I make a living working on equipment. I assume anyone who has the ability to fabricate can figure it out for themselves. If you need to ask questions.... I assume either you are lazy, or not able. Like Roland says, there is more than one way to make a fabrication like this work.... my way and your way might differ. But I'm not going to post up info, measurements and advice on a custom build that I put hard work and money into, without compensation. I know Rescue11 feels the same way, as someone wanted his plans for a 3pt, hydraulic dump rear bucket.... and he wouldn't give the info out. So, I think you're on your own.
By the way, I have no idea what you keep calling a "bull gear".
