I also have a 4" hand grinder to sharpen the blades. To do this I attach the deck to the bucket by first wrapping a chain around where the top link connects. I then put the top of the bucket up against the point where I have attached the chain. I have a center hook welded on to lift by.
The next step is to lift the deck off the ground. By tilting the bucket back you can expose the underside of the mower deck. You can then stand and sharpen the blades.
BE SURE TO PLACE THE DECK ON AN IMMOBILE OBJECT SO THAT IF SOMETHING FAILS, THE DECK DOES NOT COME DOWN ON YOU! NEVER WORK ON SOMETHING THAT WOULD KILL YOU IF A HYDRAULIC LINE FAILED OR SOME OTHER TEN CENT PART GIVES WAY!
