Moparfanforever 912 #176 Posted yesterday at 12:43 AM You won't have to change the lift handle and the electric clutch will work with a newer deck/mule drive. I think your tractor already has the lift rod like the one pictured?? That will work, or you can use the ferrel thing, can't remember the correct name, with an eyebolt and some chain just like the newer tractors. WH decks are floating decks, the lift handle just raises and lowers the deck. As far as mounting the mule drive, Wheel Horse made adaptors that I think bolted to the frame to mount a newer mule drive on that style tractor. May be kinda htf,but I have seen them on here for sale. Or @daveoman1966 has pictures and explains how to mount the newer mule drive bracket on the older tractors. Pretty simple to do. Finding the mid mount part of the attach a matic shouldn't be a problem, and I believe it is a bolt on. Really enjoy your YT video's !! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moparfanforever 912 #180 Posted yesterday at 01:07 AM Scroll to right on the second link, there are pics of the adapter. You would probably be better off mounting the newer style front attach a matic. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
