Best way to jack up riding mower

if you jack it sideways,make sure the carb is on the up side, draining oil will help also.

Please pick a new sig link. The one you supply is kinda dumb.

1. The guy ripped off the GI's Mom.
2. The guy raced around in a classic Corvette.
3. The dead GI's ghost pulled the guy from the car, after the guy had ripped off the GI's mother? I don't think so! BTW, I am a Country Music fan. Didn't like the song when it first came out. Still don't.

You have a sig, he does not.

Listen to Brad Paisley song "ONLINE"

OP.. keep the carb up as mentioned.

My solution was a sturdy tree limb and a come along. BLOCK IT after hoisting!! Picked up the front end and had no problems. Draining the oil as someone suggested is not a bad idea.

Get some help, and stand it up on it's ass. Jack stand or block up as needed. After you're through, turn the engine through a few revolutions by hand to make sure you don't have any liquid in the cylinder.

It's just a song. Not real life. Earl's not in the trunk either..

Had to do extensive work on my Cub Cadet. Finally, out of desperation, I just flipped it on its side. Did disconnect the fuel but forgot about the oil. At startup time I got a solid black cloud out of the exhaust that lasted a good 2-3 minutes. Scared me, I thought it would never end. Do drain the oil.

Oil does not make black smoke.

Thanks Steve. Hadn't thought of standing it up on the ass, but I'm sure that "posture" will make it easier to work on. I didn't think it would be possible to turn a 14 hp engine over by hand. I guess you just pull on the belt a little at a time ?

Just remove the spark plugs and use the starter (electric or pull cord).

Drain oil and gas and remove the battery.
