Grasshopper Front Mount, Deck Question

[OKnewguy]

Hey gang, I have a Grasshopper with a 9552 series front deck. Is there a way to flip this up so I can clean the debris from the bottom of the deck. I do not have power lift.
BTW, I got this beast back in early spring, and it has proven to be a great mower. Nice manicured cut, but it can still get after the tough stuff almost like my brush hog. I LOVE it!!
Thanks, Dave

One of mine doesn't have a power fold. It happens to be the one with the 72" deck. I think it came with some rod/tool to lift it, but I lost it long ago. Now I just put a jack stand between my legs, pick up the deck by hand 18" or so and use my foot to slide the stand under the front lip of the deck. I've been doing this for the last ten years or so. Strange enough, it seems like that deck is slowly getting heavier each year.

I was checking out the deck, and think I might make something out of 2x4's . Basically some kind of T, that I could drive over and then reverse back to pick the deck up. What do you think? I really only need the edge to be around 1' or so to spray. I was just curios if there was a quick way.
