Been doing a little research and found that Swisher used to make a front mounted mower for ATV's. Was able to download the manual from Northern Tool. This is the drawing of it. I just happen to have 2 of these but they are the tow behind but they look the same except that the tow behinds have rear wheels. I see no reason why I can't just fab up a mount to attach it to a mule drive and remove the rear wheels.

I remember that!
But, when I was a young'un one of the four wheeler companies was offering a 4-wheeler with rear three point and maybe even a PTO... But I remember the ad's also showing that front mount mower. Can't find any pics, sorry. I'll keep lookin.

I'll admit that I haven't thought the whole thing through...YET. But installing a front deck (ie 50") is just in front of the tractor. Instead of the belt routing backwards....it goes forward. Blade rotation should be un-effected..???

It will be a while. I have a 1782 to go through first then an O that needs a little TLC. No heat in the shop and it's 20 degrees here at the moment.

Correct me if Im wrong but mule pulley tension and rotation direction will be reversed and forward deck will end up spinning backwards unless belt gets crossed somehow to maintain the same direction as it would have being mid mount.

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.
