"Service Rack" For Garden Tractors
"It puts everything up high enough that I can service it easily," says Harold Davis, Trenton, Tenn., about the service rack he built for his Deere garden tractor equipped with a 60-in., belly-mount mower.

"Service Rack" For Garden Tractors FARM SHOP Repairs 28-4-36 "It puts everything up high enough that I can service it easily," says Harold Davis, Trenton, Tenn., about the service rack he built for his Deere garden tractor equipped with a 60-in., belly-mount mower.
The service rack is made from 1 1/2-in. steel tubing and 1 1/2-in. angle iron. It consists of a 4-ft. wide, 8-ft. long rectangular frame mounted on four 25-in. high legs. A pair of 8-ft. long ramps attaches to one end and a 12-in. high metal bar acts as a "stop". A pair of 12-in. wide sliding ramps can be placed anywhere inside the frame to accommodate smaller tractors or ATVs. A ladder can be attached to either side of the rack.
"I recently bought a new Deere X495 garden tractor, and it's a lot easier to remove the deck when it's up in the air," says Davis. "By placing a piece of plywood on top of the frame, I can convert it into a work table," notes Davis, adding that the ramps can also be used to load tractors or ATVs into a pickup.
He's looking for a manufacturer.
