52" Scag Wildcat with the liquid cooled Kawasaki.
I finally capitulated and made a decision.
:laughing:
As much as I would love a mojack pro they are 450 bucks to the door. If I thought I needed one or if future experience tells me I need one, I'll go that way.
:licking:
$71.67(everything included shipped to my house with the 25% off coupon) lift at harbor freight. 300 Lb capacity.
:thumbsup:
High Lift Riding Mower / ATV Jack
My concern was the weight so I decided to jack the front end up and set the front wheel on a bathroom scale with the entire front end in the air. The scale I have is one of those high end mechanical ones the doctors use for fat people. It goes up to 300 Lbs.
:drool:
The 52" Wildcat with the air cooled kawasaki front end weighed in at 253Lbs.
:thumbsup:
The jack is rated to 300 Lbs so I am good to go.
:dance1:
I'll check back with a review when I get the thing put together and put it through the off season maintenance paces.
:cool2:

I use one of the Harbor Freight ones all of the time for my Kubota ZG 222. I am not sure what it weighs but it handles it fine.

I received the lift via Fed Ex and the fella took it off the truck. It was not that heavy. I think the shipping weight came in at 73 Lbs. A two hander for me.
Here are the pics of the box and unpacked and then assembled. The instructions were fairly straightforward.
The first pic I took at 5:54 pm and the last pic was taken at 6:35 Pm. 41 minutes.
I am guessing that now that I have put one together and if I was not taking pictures and emailing them to myself, I could probably put the thing together in 15 minutes.
I have not used it yet but when I do I will follow up with pics and my first impressions.

That's true, it does say that. I use mine on dirt, and found that with the brakes locked, it won't let up. No problem, I lock the brakes once it's up.
I couldn't understand why it wouldn't let down! DUH! :confused2: With the brake locking the rear wheels and the dirt binding the rollers on the mower lift, there is nothing to give! So, I released the brake and it goes right down.
