Yes, that was taken a few years back. Until I gave up on the mower, I 
was using it behind an International 240U, which didn't even breathe 
hard cutting thick grass up to a foot high. There is no gearbox on the 
mower -  the drive has a single long belt taking half a dozen 180° turns 
in both directions plus two right angle twists, putting a strain on it 
that even a Kevlar reinforced belt cannot handle. And changing the belt 
is a long and difficult dirty job. It was not, in my humble opinion, one 
of Woods' better designs. Current Woods finish mowers use a gearbox from 
the PTO and then a pretty much standard flat belt drive to the three 
blades. I got several years out of the mower, but now it is time to move on.
