My B2150 is not a lot different in capacity than yours. A 5ft bush hog for mowing weeds/grass works very well. I am sure a 5ft finish mower would work well for you.

I am concerned with correct drive shafts lengths, splines ,proper speeds, three point hitch compatible

4' and not too heavy for rough cut mower. 42" if conditions are especially tough.

Regardless of brand, you will need to verify that PTO shaft is not too long so as to damage your tractor. Shortening PTO shaft is often necessary with small tractors.

anybody recognize this mower deck, would it go through heavier stuff?

That's a finish mower. You don't want a FM for rough cutting. That's basically your lawn mower.

And a piece of junk anyway...

Most any common brand of cutter should suffice. Used 48" cutters are not common but do become available from time to time.

Be certain that the mower that you buy is not a heavy, HD model, which will likely be too heavy for your tractor.
