Your 45 PTO HP tractor can handle a 6' rough cut mower in most conditions if the mower is not too heavy.
It is not adequate for a 7' cutter in anything but absolutely ideal conditions, then only if the mower is very light, you have front weights (or FEL) and no steep ground.
Your tractor cannot begin to handle a Woods BB840X, which is a heavy 7' cutter. I once owned one of these and it is a heavy cutter, around 1,400 Lbs., IIRC. I used mine with a heavy MF 60 PTO HP tractor and later a 90 PTO HP Kubota. The hitch components of your Kubota will not hold up even if it will lift it.
I currently use a Woods BB720X, 6' cutter (same series as the BB840X and also heavy) with my 53 PTO HP Kubota. My L6060 has sufficient power for most of my work but I have broken hitch components three times.
The BB840X is too big and too heavy for your tractor.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
