That looks a lot like a Omni RC-30 but that’s just a guess at this point. Look real close on the gear box there should be either a I’d tag or numbers embossed in the housing that will help I.d. The gear box. If you can’t find any then as stated above remove the box and measurements and shaft types. Once you figure out what gear box will work , then you can search for the best place to get it at the best price.   Aug 26, / Need a new gear box for rotary cutter #12

I'm sure the gearbox is an off the shelf item manufactured by another company for many other cutters. it's too cost prohibitive for one company to make everything themselves, or have custom parts made.. the deck is probably the only custom made part, either by them, or another company..   Aug 26, / Need a new gear box for rotary cutter #13

Check Surplus Center. They sell gear boxes and the Omne brand comes to mind.
My Landpride finish mower blowed seals a few years ago and I found out after fixing it that I could have replaced the gear box for cheaper than the replacement parts.   Aug 27, / Need a new gear box for rotary cutter #14

The other consideration is ratio. Different ratios are used for 5', 6' and 7' cutters to keep the blade tip speed about the same.
On my 6' the 540rpm input is increased to 792rpm output.   Aug 28, / Need a new gear box for rotary cutter #15

That looks like a pretty standard unit. Here is one for a good price.Gearboxes-Rotary Cutter Gearbox | Agri Supply
The only concerns are bolt pattern and shaft. Only a couple choices.You have a slip clutch so you need one with a splined input shaft.

Is it broken? Why not just dissassemble and rebuild? Probablly just 2 seals and 4 bearings.
