"Lift Hangars" Make Mower Maintenance Easier
“I wanted to lift my mower to clean the deck and do other maintenance,” says Adrian Flath of Evans Mills, N.Y. “So I made hangars to fit my lift and pick the mower up by its wheels.”
    He welded up two different sizes out of 2-in. angle iron to fit under the front and back tires. The other end of the hangar slips over the pads on his 12,000-lb. vehicle lift.
    “When I’m done, I pull the hangars off the lift so it doesn’t tie the lift up at all. They’re light and easy to store,” Flath says. “I could make hangars to use it for other equipment, too.”
    Flath has used the lift for two years to keep his zero-turn Ferris mower (with a 35 hp, 3-cylinder CAT engine) in tiptop shape. Besides cleaning the deck, it makes it easy to change the blades and make adjustments.
    “I’m taking good care of my mower so it will last a long time,” he says.
