Is anyone using this jack to elevate the front axle of zero turn mower in order to clean the underside of the deck and change blades?

I can answer that question for myself: No. But I see no reason why it couldn't be used for that purpose. The jack is easily strong enough to handle that amount of weight. For the sake of safety, it would be in your best interests to chock the rear wheels and keep them on the ground

I've used the Black Widow on my air lift to raise either the front wheel or the rear wheel. The only negative thing I've found on it use is the thread ratio at the beginning of the lift makes for some strain in turning the thread-bolt. Once the scissor lift gets "Over-center" the turning process is greatly eased. I would recommend using a long handled ratchet with an extension & socket to fit over the bolt screw. The lift has no problem lifting the 1100 #'s but the initial portion of the lift takes a lot of torque so the long hand will ease the overall lift since the bolt handle is too short to get enough leverage on the initial start of the lift without a longer-handle apparatus.

Can'ts say for sure about your mower. We use these ramps to load two motor scooters into a pickup which has a fairly high bed. The scooters have a pretty low clearance between the front and rear wheel, and we have not had any problem bottoming out. The curvature of the ramps seems to remedy this problem for us. If we did have a problem bottoming out in a certain location, I would probably elevate the end of the ramp slightly above the ground to give more curve at the top end.

I'm thinking no. More of a hand truck tire/wheel. Probably not heavy duty enough for zero turn mower. Also likely too hard for soft turf.

No sir. The handle can be flat to the ground and sometimes it's easier to get it to release when it's parallel I the ground. The jack works great we're at a 10 bay service garage and my guys tried to throw away a perfectly good jack (just old) to get another one of these!

I'm able to turn over a motor by attaching the impact wrench to the crank of the engine. You should be able to bust a lawnmower blade nut loose with this. Maybe soak the nut with oil for a while then use the impact wrench. Good Luck.

I own a Snapper Z355 26 HP zero turn and use my Mojack monthly. The mower is well over 500 pounds, the Mojack lifts it with ease and oncethe locking pin snaps into place, your set to go. for people who might be a bit scared to be under the mover working, jack stands provide a bitmore safety. I have had my Mojack two years and if used correctly, it is an amazing tool. How I worked without one helps me appreciate howwell it cuts down my work time. A 500 hundred pound tractors are no match for a Mojack Lift. Go for it, it's worth it!

No it is designed to work with two axles close together to allow a tire to be removed without using a jack. Drive the good tire up Trailer Aid and the tire to be removed will now be off the ground for easy changing.

Absolutely! Do it all the time. There is a hole at the bottom where the jack is.

I used the jack on a small boat trailer and it worked great for me .(A 16 ft flat bottom aluminum boat trailer)

No, this is not a good choice for replacing a flat tire. This is a stabilizing jack. It is designed to be used on trailers when they are parked, it keeps the trailer from rocking back and forth when you are inside of it. Typically you would have one on each corner of your trailer. I suggest you look for a jack that is designed to lift vehicles.

Yes, I have the jack on my utility trailer. It is easy to crank. It cranks up and down slowly but surely.

I have no idea if it will lift your toro. Does a great job on my Commercial Gravely zero turn. Would I buy this thing again? You bet. It is strong and capable of doing what I need done and I feel safe working under my mowers.

yep. I have used in multiple times on all my cars including a lowered Vet. the low profile of the jack helps to slide in under lowered cars. I have used it to jack up the Vet utilizing the front crossmember. handles the load. however always but always place jack stands under the vehicle after raising. do not depend on the jack with your life.

I would say, No. I tried it with mine and the Camco seemed ready to bend, and my forward jacks were not yet off the ground. I stopped before doing damage. Seems to stabilize the front quite nicely, but not strong enough to hold the full weight.

Yes, it is an excellent jack. Lightweight and easy to maneuver. Mine has performed flawlessly.

It requires muscle and a 7/8" wrench to raise the jack. I wouldn't suggest an air wrench.

I'm not an engineer, so I can't directly answer that question. My travel trailer is between 3000 and 3500 # (depending on the load) and the jack lifts and supports the wheel. If I need to lift it several inches it can take a while to crank it by hand, but it does a fine job getting the trailer level. I have recently tried using an impact drill to raise the jack (because this type of drill does not twist your wrist) but there were some problems with that approach. The jack-screw started to show signs of metel shavings which might mean I am near the limit of the jack's weight load. That said - I would buy another one of these if this one breaks. If you get one you might also want to buy a large pizza-delivery bag to store it in. Works perfect.
