I've always had a hard time getting my BX in the air high enough to take the blades off and sharpen them. I have a set of ramps and they get high enough, but not enough I can get an impact on the blade bolts. I can use a breaker bar but there is still barely enough room to get to the middle blade. It also seems these tractor are difficult to use a floor jack on, there just isn't any really good jacking points.
My solution, and it should have been obvious to me years ago, use the FEL. I but two or three pieces of lumber under it, put the bucket most of the way in dump, and lifted the front end up as high as I could. I then was able to put a floor jack under part of the frame to act as a back up in case the loader failer to hold the tractor up. Plenty of room under the deck this way to clean it or get at the blades.
