How do you get under your riding lawnmower? - mikefm101 - 06-06-2020
Hi
I’ve got a Husqvarna mower with a 48” span.
While removing all three blades this morning I was wondering how to get easy access underneath.
Car ramps seem too short and steep.
I thought about cinder blocks and a pair of 2x10s maybe 4’ long but it doesn’t get much off the ground.
Any ideas???

Jack up the front and back and stack 6x6s until you get the height you want.Be very careful.

I jack mine up and put it on car jack stands

I had a small John Deere. I used to just pick it up and put jack stands under it.

I use a Harbor Freight lawn mower lift I paid $80 for, well worth the money.
I have 2 riders and an ATV I use the lift with.

I have a 54" zero-turn. I either run it up on ramps, or jack up the front with a small floor jack and then use jack stands.

Pull the deck and flip it over. On most decent tractors it’s a less than 5 minute task.

Handy man High-Lift jack, then car stands.

For engine work, I jack it up with a floor jack and just go to work (not under it). For blades, I jack up the rear as far as the jack will go and stick a couple of timbers under there. That’s plenty of room for blade changes or whatever, but if I need to work on the shafts and such, I just pull the deck and put it on plywood on horses.
