Space-Saving Mower Deck Storage FARM HOME Lawn Mowers (31h,38) 27-4-39 "I built it because my Kubota mower deck was taking up too much floor space in my garage," says Larry Cohenno, Willet, N.Y., who came up with a pair of small wheels and axles that allow him to store his 60-in. deck vertically instead of horizontally.
"Every year I remove the deck for the winter so that I can install a snow blade on the tractor. This idea saves space and also makes the deck easier to service," says Cohenno.
The patent pending axles are 13 in. long and fitted with 3-in. high wheels. They mount in place of a pair of anti-scalping wheels on back of the deck. Cohenno simply pins the axles on in place of the scalping wheels.
The axles are made from 1-in. dia. steel. "The kit is designed specifically for Kubota mid-mount mower decks, but I think the same idea would work with other brand name decks using four anti-scalp wheels with 1-in. dia. shafts. The wheels are rated at 250 lbs. apiece so I don't think they'd have any problem supporting a 300-lb. deck," notes Cohenno.
Cohenno sells the wheels and axles on Ebay.com and Tractorbynet.com for $69.95 including S&H in the 48 contiguous states. He also wholesales them to dealers for $62 who sell them at a retail price of $99.95.
