Deck mounted WH blowers are somewhat scarce, and you'll need all the parts including the outer deck pulley to run it. It will work best with a fixed collector like a rear mounted bagger system. 

 

The rear mounted WH versions are more rare, but work very well.

 

There are many aftermarket versions, but they typically they have another engine mounted to a trailer. Used models show up on Craigslist fairly often here in NC. New ones are quite expensive for what they are, but do work well so long as you don't have oaks that drop little twigs all year. You'll have to stop and unclog the intake regularly if you do. That applies to most any of the versions mentioned.

 

Or you can make your own. That route has quite a bit of fabrication. There are several versions online. I built one for my father in law that works great, but it is alot of work and I already had a good collector.

 

The pic below was before I added the hoses. Rigid from the deck and flex to the collector.

You should put an ad in the classified section with pictures.
