Need help identifying finish mower

[Tractor_Matt]

First post but long long time lurker. I want to ID this mower so I can see what I have.there are no markings what so ever. It has a left side discharge but cuts good so a little strange to me.
Anybody ever seen one of theses?

Can't say, but looks like you need to check the oil.

Well after looking more at it oil is last of my concern it’s a ccw rotation

That's interesting. I never put the left side discharge together with "backwards" rotation.

found some ccw blades for it going to try that. but cw rotation from tractor = ccw blade rotation and blade bolt is left hand thread. But there is not a single shred of info on it not even the gearbox, So im shooting from the hip here

That's even more interesting that it runs CCW with a CW PTO. I bought a B7500 new in 2002 and was sniffing around for a new RFM. There were some mowers that had left-hand discharge but I can't remember what they were.

While I don't recall if there was a choice, I do recall telling the salesman I wanted a right hand discharge because the mowing pattern at the time suited me and it seemed it would be awkward doing everything "backwards" from the previous 10 years.

My stepdad had a Massy Ferguson 1020 with a belly mower that was CCW rotation and left handed discharge. It was belt driven off a PTO clutch on the front of the engine rather than shaft driven though.

I remember being warned that some of the tillers that came on early grey market tractors were ccw rotation.

Mower shows hints of being Rhino. And yes they made left hand discharge. I have a FM72 with left discharge, left hand blades, and left handed blade bolts.

Drive shaft is assembled wrong: Out of phase U-joints..

Plus: it's either a front mower using a 3pt type mount, or it's been mounted backwards. The 'front?' of the deck is not open to uncut grass. Si I'd say its intended as a front mount. Some tractors offer a front 3 pt type hitch setup.
