Ride on mower lift for cleaning maintenance etc

Alright folks,

 

What do you use for working under your ride on mowers etc ?

 

I've had a mare this weekend working on an Etesia hydro 100 evo, I struggled at first ot get the ffing blades of then managed to wedge a woodruff key in the spindle housing, long story short, the deck came off and I fixed the problem, but it took hours and it was pouring down, sunday wasted and all I could use was the ramp on the back of our van to raise the deck to do the work.

 

Is there a way of doing this preferably not one that burns a hole in me pocket ?

 

Cheers all

I have a frame that goes under the front wheels and then you push it down and it lift everything right up, as if the machine is doing a wheelie. I'll get some pics at weekend if I go down yard.

 

Seen 1 of those on Flebay, they don't look very strong ?

you could get one of the lifts using four jacks

there are varios ebay companys selling versions of these for different money

 

Car Lift Platform 3m Long x 1.8m Wide x 3' High (1.95m between post) (Y650) - Frost Auto Restoration Techniques Lift Platform 3m Long x 1.8m Wide x 3' High (1.95m between post)&catID=&frostCat=&frostSubCat=&subCatID=

 

or drain all liquids and put it on its side

you can lift some of them or pull it over with your van and a load of tyres on the ground

 

or you could lift it up and stick it on four axle stands

halfords do a set with varios bits of kit quite cheap
