I hear your pain Speedy and AVB, I too suffer from back pain along with 2 broken hips and a leg broken in several places, but you just have to push through it as best you can. Pain killers don't do that much and all the doctors ever do is say,"take another pill". I am still lifting mowers on to the bench but I also have to consider setting up an electric winch I have here but I have always thought that was going to take too long to get them onto the bench for what sometimes is a minor adjustment that I can't bend over long enough to do. The other thing is how to quickly hook the mower up to lift it. With any of the self propelled mowers I have always used a couple of ramps to get them on the bench, no hope of lifting those.
