We have several Cubs to maintain and I don't like having to kneel down to work on them. Some of them have
the quick attach implement mechanism but some don't so there are also issues of cleaning the underside of
the mower deck, sharpening blades, replacing the occasional belt and changing oil. -Loose Steering Because of worn out Knuckle and Arm, how to fix

All of the above convinced me that I needed a better way to put the machine where I needed it for service.
So I designed and built the "grease rack" you see above. It gets the whole machine 2 feet off the floor. As you
can see, the center sections of the treads are removeable to give complete access to the underside of the mower
deck and more.
Top side service is also much easier too, because I can stand comfortably beside the tractor while working on it.
In the summer time, I set the grease rack up as you see it, in one corner of the garage and in the winter I
stand it on end in another outbuilding.
If you are interested in building one of these handy devices, I have a 10 page set of
home-made plans. Send me a check or money order for $5.00 which includes S&H, made out to Pete Stanaitis. I make no claims of fitness for use. If you drive off the end or off the sides, that is your problem.
