Don't have a picture handy but the continental has a gearbox at the back to turn the corner from the PTO to the direction the spindles are. Artsway just twisted the belt around the corner.

Artsway bought out Sunmaster and the same mower is still sold under both names. The arts way uses two belts. One to drive the deck and a deck belt which is a two sided one.

Woods uses just one belt.

Oh yeah Continental's are green, Sunmaster's are cream with orange I think, Arts way used to be gray and is dark green now I think, Woods is orange.

Continental Belton is now called Ag-Meyer (spelling?) and is still located in Belton, Texas.

I posted a scan from a 1978 Continental Belton catalog in Vintage Ads section on here. The KA-5 belly mowers could drive with a gear box but some were also drove by a pulley mounted direct on PTO shaft. They were made to fit many older tractors too with 3 point lift or lever & cable lift but were bolted on direct with a lift bar bolted under the front. The later KTR was just 3 point mount. Ag Meier Industries they are called today still in Belton Texas www.ag-meier.net and built fire trucks, shredders & sprayers. Another company in TX still makes the revised post hole diggers under another name and once made those for Continental Belton also. We once had a KA-5 but got rid of it because parts were getting to get not sure if they have anything today yet for those.
