How do you prop your mower up to get under the deck? We use the trailer and run it up on the side

I currently use car ramps, but looking to get me a MoJack EZ

We block the rear wheels and use a car jack either under the front axle, or the front edge of the deck. This depends on the size and brand of unit.

that sounds time consuming lol.

I have a real strong wife and she rolls Murray back and holds it up while I place the saw horses under the back wheels.:thumbsup::laughing:

When out working I use the trailer method. At home I have a wench up on a rafter in the shop I can left the front and or the back

Maybe I should have said car floor jack, and it is the fastest way I've found after forty years under the deck.

I have used a floor jack before. I just don't like laying down to change blades. If I could get my wife to stop buying things that I can't use I would get a drive on lift

I understand that, but there is no faster way, even with a lift. Been there and done that. Lift takes up too much space, not portable and needs to be reset for each different size tractor.

This might sound odd but one of the first things I look at when buying a mower is how hard or easy it is to change the blades I have found that when it comes to GT or LT I like my Murray cause it's just a round shaft no star to mess with now I don't use it much as I don't like the rest of the mower

I use a massive nylon strap hooked onto the front of the mower and the front bucket of my tractor.

I do the same with a chain on my tractor loader... Makes blade removal And gear box oil changes easy... :smile:KennyV

I use my drive on ramp.
Got an old broken 2 post ramp and converted to 1 post using the drive side.
I then made the base using sheet metal but putting an angle in it so i can drive on.
Other way is man hole covers.
Remove cover stand on ladder and push tractor back and forward while under it.

It depends on what I am doing and the tractor I am addressing. I use ramps, floor Jack and I have a ramp type car lift that is good for some things, but not necessecarly to change blades. The ramp are sometime in the way.

northern tool ....cheap hoist attached to ceiling we use electric one quick and easy

Thew Mojack is the simplest and safest way, and if you don't want to go to the trouble of using the Hand crank you can use the drill attachment to raise the mower, either way only takes minutes.
.

I just finished my project,bought two post jacks and set em in concrete.put a 10"x9' I beam on top of them .Bought a hoist dolly and elec. winch at Harbor Freight.Now I can raise the deck of my GH almost straight up to clean it etc.No more ramps and laying down. russ
