Mowing MMM Dolley

[Samwise]

I swear I saw in a recent thread (on building a shed for the tractor) a photo of someone's MMM deck up on its front or back edge on wheels so it can easily be rolled around the garage. This sure would be handy. The MMM is not that light and doesn't appear to have a convenient method to stand up on any edge. It appeared that two of the obstacle avoiding plastic wheels and the respective shafts they are attached two were replaced with something else that has a pair of wheels on each shaft so the entire MMM is supported by four little wheel on one edge (front or back).

Any information on such an arrangement would be appreciated - if it was bought where and if it was made how.

Thanks in advance.

The photo I saw is part of Wrooster's tractor shed photo album in the thread 'Backyard Shed for BX Tractor' on page 6 or 7 (so far). Nice shed.

I have been thinking about some kind of dolly for my mower deck too. Saw another interesting idea for a wall mount in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EdU0Wk4_jg Look at the 4:55 mark. This guy has a really nice rack to hang his deck on. Saves floor space. Not sure how he lifts it onto the rack, FEL I guess.

Hey guys,
Here's the direct link to where I purchased the mower deck stands for my BX; they also have models for other deck types.

Yes, you can make these sorts of stands yourself -- this is not rocket science. In my case, I started to gather up the various parts in a shopping cart, and then was planning to borrow some lathe time from a friend, but in the end it was simpler to buy than build.

Made my own version out of galvanized pipe for about $20. Good enough for me. Store my deck upright on them over the winter.
