Random garage space dilemma

[dlundblad]

Since my brother's Blazer moved in a few weeks ago, the mule and rear mount mower had to move. With the blade on the back and the bucket supported as shown, the tractor just fits in the garage with about 2" to spare between the blade and the door.

Can anyone think of a better solution than? It seems to be working well, but now I have no jack stands.

While the bucket appears to be resting on the gear box, I assure you it isn't. The whole thing is quite stable actually.

Here's what it looks like. I was almost able to get some cat tax, but she ran under the tractor just in time.

Actually quite creative. Another example of necessity being the mother of invention. Looks good!

Buy another set of jackstands? US Jack offers nice US made ones for less than $100.

If you need the jack stands, get another board the same size as under the bucket and nail or screw (4) 2x4s to the same height as the jack stands and attach to the current board as to make a rail. The strength will easily hold up the bucket.

Good idea. Thats definitely a cheap route.
