Opinions: Walker mower lift

[kevin1000]

I need to change the blower (the part that blows the grass into the catcher) on my Walker MT 20HP mower. I already have the part but need opinions on what is best way to jack it up about 18". Never had to do this before but it looks like raising the mower is the only way to replace the blower.

Thanks
Kevin

Remove the deck makes things much easier I use my car ramps if you don't have one handy use your loading ramps drive it up to about one foot high into some blocks of wood don't go under till you have have have put some blocks of wood or jacks for safety another thing you should get is the pulley they do wear and some times a pita to pull out if it's stuck put some heat on it if it still good to use. Best of luck

The Heftee lifts make a lot of jobs easier as long as all the work is under the mower...it can get a little interesting when a mechanic has to climb on top of the mower to help the mechanic under the mower get the bolts tight..
My Handy lift table has added many years to my career...its all work...so you have to make it as easy on yourself as you can....

When running a 24 volt motor on a 12 volt machine the motor can be jammed by grass build up in the hopper and not over heat or be damaged. Who ever came up with that idea was really thinking that day.
The first motors used were windshield wiper motors used on diesel locomotives.
