Rear PTO installation, pros and cons?
My cub 100 does not have a rear pto drive, but I know of a guy that would be willing to sell the rear end off of one that does. The reason I'm thinking of installing this is because I'm fairly sure I can ground up build a pull behind rotary mower, and I think it would be easier to build it for use with a rear pto than the front pto drive. What are the cons, if any, of installing a rear pto?

Conventional wisdom and the prevailing attitude of a rear pto is that they are as useful as tits on a boar hog. If you decide to install one anyway... that is what you should do. BUT I would not switch rear ends. Your serial number is on the rear end. Just add the parts. But again, tits on a boar hog.

PERSONALLY,
I think your Idea is great. Not only is the rear pto just a neat item to have it would be even better to have something that could be used by it!!! IF your able to build,desighn,engineer an rear rotary mower that would be awesome.Do you mean a reel mower?? that would be cool along with a standard mower. Again, personally, if your gonna ground up build a rear pull behind mower, I dont see any reason you couldnt use the rear pto Besides RPM.and It would be a whole lot easier to drive of the pto than the front pto by belts Jason

Several draw backs to the rear pto are:
Only turns 515 rpm as 67hydro posted The direction the pto turns is backwards to most pto run equipment The pto is not a live power take off. for those who don't know what I am talking about....the clutch between the motor and tranmission must be engage for the rear pto to work. The attachment must be at a standstill/not rotating so the operator can change gears. This rear mounted mower runs off the tiller drive.   This mower does a poor job mowing on uneven lawns. This mower would be great with a 515rpm/rear pto:  rear view:  It gets it's power from a tiller drive. You can't run the motor much over half throttle. It will shake the mower apart. A Haban mower doesn't require high rpm.

there is a special (upper) shaft (so I'm told) required for this conversion to add rear pto that is very hard to get. There was a gentleman at cub a arama telling me he can make this shaft, but I forget his name. Maybe he will join in here

The mower I'm planning to build would be similar to the rear rotary mower above, but I need something that will cut tall grass, cockaburrs, etc, not just mow. If I could find one that would do that, I'd buy it, but it doesn't really seem like it would be that hard to hit up theisens, break out the welder, and make one.

Stitch,
I'm just curious, how are you planning to increase the rpm from 515 to 3600+/- so the mower will cut grass/weeds?

Not sure I'll be able to get that much out of it, but I had planned to use a gearbox.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
