To swap power torques, I have suspended the mower on two opposing lawn chairs and kneel next to it and reach under to fit the bolts. I can stick my head under there to check the alignment of the engine mounting bores.
For removing the blade carrier I lift the rear and lean the handles against the fence and chock the front wheels to stop it wandering.
Hi MF,
With PTs , I find the easiest way to take motor off or install motor is to just put it on bench upside dwn with handles resting on a milk crate.... install a PT motor is easy too, just put motor upside down, and put base on, you can see the holes to line up.....
Doing other work like changing blades or sharpening blades 4 strokes, I put mower on bench and tie down handle....
I don't like working on the ground or lifting mowers . That's why I made the bench and two ramps.....
I use EPAL pallets as they are 20mm think planks and easy to disassemble.
And free of course.
I use that leaning the 2 stroke against the fence on its nose for sharpening blades,, easy.
cheers
speedy
