how do you get 12 and 3/4 out of a 2x12 and 3/4 plywood? Seems like it
would be 12 to me. Or did you mean to use the two sheets on top of one
another?

Get two sheets of 3/4" treated plywood, and three 8-foot treated 2x12s.
Trim
each 2x12 to the length you want, then cut each one diagonally so you have
six
long wedges. Then build yourself a wedge-shaped box. That will give you
12-3/4" overall height -- the additional inch and a quarter probably isn't
going to cause you any trouble; I assume this is for a riding mower,
right?
It'll get over 1-1/4" easily.
