Love how easy these small tractors make it to clean the deck!

| Wish I could take credit but it is in an old brochure. I'll try to dig it up. Funny how new zero turns brag about this feature yet this nearly 50 year old tractor can do it. |

What do you lift the tractor with?

| Chris, I can still lift it by myself. It is light enough that it isn't a problem. I don't think I could do that with the 717 or 738, especially since they have starter/generators on them, but the 616 doesn't weigh much. |

| That's a fine example of the fact there are not many new ideas these days, just recycled ones. Never seen that done before, thanks for sharing. |

| Neat idea Jon. I bet I could do that with any of my foot draggers and my engine lift. I think where the deck mounts pin to the axle would allow it to swing down with the belt removed. I will have to try it with the BigTen....Dave |
Money can't buy you happiness.
It can however buy you a beer.
And that is close enough.

Going to need a photo of this Dave! 
I have changed blades by lifting the front of my 919 with the forks on the Legacy, but it feels a little odd with all that suspended weight up off the ground. Quick n easy though! |

Be careful. I would hate to see you end up with a back like mine. |
