storing your MMM

[asgard]

I was wondering if there is any reason that you cannot store your MMM vertically. I see only 1 oil seal on the gearbox the rest are greased.

I ask this as I like to store it indoors and until I build my attachment shed it is in my workshop but it takes up a lot of floor space.

Option?

Storing mine for the 2nd year vertically against the wall. No issues so far.

Store it with the blades facing the wall if you have sharpened the blades and gotten it ready for the next season.
Store it with the blades facing you if you still need to do that maintenance.

Got mine up the same way myself! Been vertical for over three years. Used a simple block and tackle to get it there, and a couple of bracing boards to make it stay there!

That is the answer I was hoping for.

I am in the process of making a small 3 point mounted crane to lift it to the vertical then back it in against the shop wall.

Brand new so blades in - this year.

Thanks

Been storing by deck up against the wall the last couple years. Fabbed up an axle and a set of wheels to stand it up and make it mobile. Can easily push it around and is stable enough to pressure wash it while standing up.

Check out Larrys Mower Axles, I've been using them for going on 13 years now.

$90 to $100 bucks is a lot for that stand.
I suppose if you can't make it yourself - that's what it costs for someone else to do the work.

But the idea is good.
