If the gearbox is shot, your best bet and likely more economically feasible decision is probably to keep mower shopping. 52HP is probably ideal for a 6' mower. IMO, 85 isn't too far out of line, but you do need to be more careful and not push the mower as hard. The higher HP tractor will not pull down much in tough spots
 
I blew up a gear box one an 8 foot brushog. A totally new gearbox from bushhog was about half the cost of just getting the parts and rebuilding the old one. Didn;t/doesn;t make sense but I'm glad I checked wit the manufacturer.
