Id like to find a mower for the 3 point hitch but don't even know where to start.

Because of the higher RPM speed, the Wheel Horse / Woods 60" finish mower is about all that is compatible to attach to the 3 point.

The guy that painted it green ought to be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.At least he didn't paint the wheels yellow.Nice well accessorized D-160.Nice big tractor to play with.Have fun with your new toy.

Not to hijack but what are teh front wheels on the deck.  Not factory.  Incidentally the spindles bearings and seals are all from woods and used on lots of their mowers I have some cross references to standard numbers if you need them

The extra wheels were added by the old owner @pfrederi

Lookin' good @Mattd160!  I would love to have one of these beasts.  I almost bought one at the Charlottesville auction, but with the scarcity of parts and not knowing the running condition of any of them, I backed down.  That will be one nice machine when you are done!
