WH656 9 #1 Posted April 21, 2019 I tried to jack up the front to get the axle drained.. it slid off and nearly broke the grease fitting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varosd 1,185 #2 Posted April 21, 2019 I put a piece of wood that has a cut out on top of the jack. It avoids the lube fitting 😏 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH656 9 #3 Posted April 22, 2019 Yea.. may have to custom make something .. it slides around a bit. For now I lifted it by hand while someone kicked ramps under that front wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troutbum70 858 #4 Posted April 22, 2019 I have a cub cadet tractor lift purchased at tractor supply works super to lift front or rear. For cleaning deck after mowing or working under deck I can all but stand tractor on end on rear wheels. Its a great tool 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,465 #5 Posted April 22, 2019 I always lift the front end by the end of the frame with a bottle jack. Be aware, if you have to lift one very high the jack has to remain in the same stationery point and the tractor must move forward to follow as it is lifted. If you can, either leave the tractor in neutral or open the tow valve if it is a hydro unit. You can use a rolling type floor jack, but it will take a spreader to hit the ends of the frame and those contact points must be able to stay in contact as the angles change when being lifted. If I want to pick one up much over a few inches I prefer to have the deck off, lift it by the front axle and use a pair of stands on the frame behind the steering linkage ahead of the Attach-o-Matic brackets. Supporting the weight by the frame itself is better for greasing the front spindles and front axle center pivot point. Sarge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
