The one on the right looks like a good unit, but without any driveline detail, it's just guesswork. Either one really boils down to spacing the axles away from the chassis, and then altering the driveline, steering, and linkages to suit.

Go to extreme mower, plenty of info their. The one on the right would be my choice, it looks to be a Wards, but really can not tell.

If you go with larger wheels, you'll want to change the drive pully diameters to correct the gearing; a full hydrostat would be a little more forgiving than gear drives. It really comes down to just how aggressive you plan to go....

True in theory. In practise, these things are geared so dang low, you've got a LOT of leeway when it comes to bigger tires vs gearing. I went from 18"-22" tires, and still have room to gear up, rather than down.

id hack up the red one. the old yellow one is too nice and cool enough as it is. probrobly easier to lift aswell. the horizontal shaft on the yellow one will probrobly not allow for much movement
