Kubota B6100E with mid mount mower, OPTIONS?

[Hiltu]

My B6100E came with a rather beat RC48 mid mount mower. Its the version with the front facing gearbox/ shaft. This leads to the front PTO drive box with electric clutch. Im looking for a 60" cut mid mount mower but the flavor i come across most often has a rear pointing gearbox/ shaft. Ive seen mention that these were on a B6100. I'm wondering if someone can show me a pic or describe how one would go about that. I'm a bit clueless. Thanks

The rear facing PTO box was for the B6100HST models as they had mid PTO output.

Thanks, that clarifies it for me. With the front rear-facing PTO being offcenter, can I safely run a mid mount mower with the centered gearbox? Are the u-joints and shaft going to be alright? Seems most of them are centered that ive come across

Probably not, and you would be very lucky if, One: It turns the proper direction and, Two: if it will turn at the proper speed.
