Gus, not all mowers will mount on the rear. You need to have the specific hardware to do that.

Wont the blades spin in the oposite direction (or the drive on the mower just spin and ratchet) if you take it from under the tractor and put it on the back?

Yes, that is why not all mowers will mount on the rear. They have to be made to mount there.

The seller is calling it a Brush Hog. It appears it should be LH discharge by the way it's set up. I might have to build one!
