Mowing Mower Deck Stands

   / Mower Deck Stands #31  
i could lift it by strap or chain by the fel, change out the axle stands for the caster wheels and then roll. anybody have a better/easier way to do it? often times, i miss the obivious (saint joseph's university).
thanks, shrekbelly
Basically thats how I do it. I use chains to lift my MMM from horizontal to vertical and while I have it up at a comfortable height, thats when I swap the rear anti-scalp wheels out for the mower axles and vice-versa. Only takes a minute or two.

I agree on these mower axles being handy, makes the stowing and servicing of the MMM very easy.

Anyone try it on a New Holland 72" deck or is the deck too heavy to put that much weight on 2 wheels because of the design?

I don't know what your deck look like, but I but a pair on my Kubota 60" deck last night, and I don't know how you could break them. They are also kind of a slick wheel, so you can slide the deck sideways.

Thanks for your input! Have you had any issues with the mower gearbox seal leaking while it is on the stands? I think you have the same mower I have.
Thanks,
Barney
Yes, my deck was on the stands for the previous 4 months, and slowly leaked about 1/3 of the gearbox oil.
Mower is a RCK54-23BX, brand new last fall.
I guess I'll have to decide next fall whether to allow the leak, drain it first, or not use the stands.

How do you know which model deck stand goes with which deck. I've got a kobota 60 inch deck 2 yrs old.

Later I've got some lurching to do.

I just got a pair of Larry's mower stands. They are fantastic! Very well made & work as advertised. I wish I bought them a few years ago - they would have saved a few bruises. I didn't want to drop $100 on them, but they are worth it!

Another A+ for Larry's mower stand. The #40 fit my MMM (RCK60-27BA) for my B3200. It's great to get that beast upright and more out of the way. Thanks Larry! I got it the next day after I ordered.

I got a set in February and they are really nice,well worth the $$. Hung a chain fall from the garage ceiling and that's what I use to muscle the 60" deck around.
