So would a setup like this work:

At the moment I can't say what isn't working since I stupidly didn't torque my blades down when I resharpened them so I lost two blades during a mowing run and had to track them down. I've only had the 149 for the last 3 years but the cub sat for the last year. I figured this mowing season the 149 needed to run instead of us mowing with just our new mower. And thus I'm trying to reduce the number of times I pull the deck from under the tractor by doing a rebuild ahead of time.
We are different than the rest of our rural HOA, mowing with "tractors" and not zero-turns. Sometimes there is joy in riding mowers that others don't see.
