Nice fab work there. Got a C here and an international belly mower. Might have to snag a few idea's????
Farmall Super C - Continental belly mower
Sold my 6 foot shredder a couple months ago. It worked fine, but with it being a pull type instead of 3 point it was just a bit difficult to use in the small pasture behind my house. Woods makes a 60" and a 72" belly mower specific to this tractor, but they're kind of hard to come by. So I picked up this 3 point mount Continental Belton KTR-60 60" belly mower. Since my Super C doesn't have a 3 point, I had to build a bracket setup to make it work.
The front is lifted by the touch control just like the woods mower. The rear is adjusted via the 3 point top link. The slots in the top link bracket allow the rear of the mower to lift if I pass over an obstruction or through a ditch.
Still needs a few things and then paint.

Now, that shows you're thinking. Beautiful work! 
Thanks yall. Finished up a few things last night and mowed some today. Our yard is so grown over I thought I was going to have to borrow the neighbor's shredder for the first cut, but the mower actually handled it pretty well. Now just need to pull everything back apart and paint.
Couple more pics:
Driveshaft angle is fairly steep, but doesn't seem to bind. This is with the mower set at about 5" cutting height.

The tensioner pulley was bad, so I replaced it with a spring loaded one off a john deere LT deck. Seems to work ok so far, I had to cut and reweld the arm to get better tension.

The mower is offset to the right to get close to the outside edge of the tire. This also makes it so I can raise the mower up all the way to the draw bar frame for clearance when loading it on a trailer.

Thanks for the compliments and advice.
Got the brackets all painted up. I'm tempted to go take them to the beach and leave them in the surf for a while so they match the tractor better.
