Are b and c belly mowers the same? If not, how hard is it to mount a b mower under a c? ------------- Can't fix stupid |

| If you mean sickle bar mowers, there is no difference. Rotary mowers are something else entirely. Woods brackets are different between the B and the C/CA to allow for the different distance between final drives. |

Some of the Woods belly rotary mowers have an adjustable pipe on the frame that allows you to put the mower on a B or a C/CA and some do not. I have had both.

Yes, the only difference is the cross tube push bar that bolts to the final drives. Mine is a 3 piece that will fit B,C, or CA.

When the CA came out the number 5 mower was developed. It was basically a B-C mower that was adapted to fit either the B-C or the CA. Only thing needed to make the changes was the kit for the B-C lift arrangement and the kit for the CA lift arrangement. Since the final drives on the CA were angled to the rear it made it a little longer so there was a two position for bolting the mounting brackets on the mower frame. The B-C sickle bar mower was the same for both. I sure mounted enough of them. In fact, when we sold the B and C for quite some time it was the only mower available. Rotaries were yet to come. Sorry I got a little windy but the question brings back some very good memories. Good Luck! Bill Long |

If you have a B or a C mount, you could do it with a torch or cut-off saw and some new pipe. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

I've got all the stuff with a 72" Woods deck that came off of a C... unfortunately, I have two Bs and no C (the mount is non-adjustable). I don't really approve of using these tractors for yard mowing anyway... there's real work to be done with them. ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |
