Where's the best spot to jack up a BX2360 for a tire change?

Best place for jack stands?

Got a slow leak in the left front tire and will need to take it off to get it replaced.

Should I pull off the MMM, or can it be done with it attached? Looks like it may need to be pulled to me, but it would be nice if I could get by with leaving it on.

If you've got a FEL, just use it to lift the front wheels from the ground and then place jack stands under the front axle.

No FEL, jack it up under the front axle. Use jack stands.

If not, then use the point where the quick hitch would go for your mower deck, you know, what you attach the linkage to in the front.
Take a floor jack,,, OH AND COCK THE REAR WHEELS ,,,, lay a piece of 2x6 or 4x4 on the jack head. Place it between the support brackets that hold the deck in place, and making sure things dont hit anything else slowly jack it up,, Now if you have an air gun loosen the lug nuts, if you dont have an air gun then just lift far enough to take most of the weight off the wheel and brake them loose like you would on your car, then jack it up until the wheel is off the ground, remove the lug nuts and take off the wheel.. And putting it back on do it in reverse and if you have a torque wrench check the lugnuts after you set it back down....
Really after you do it once,it takes longer to explain that it to do it :D
ALSO I would , unless you have a hole you can find and plug, Pick up a jug of slime, for what ever reason BX wheels seem to have a problem with slow leaks on the front wheels. I went back to the dealer and he gave me 2 jug of slime and said that happens all the time
