Default Changing My Riding Mower Blade

I have a 10 year old Deere lawn mower, and decided to have the blade
sharpened. The last time I did this was about 4 years ago. I made a
ramp for one set of wheels, left probably, from a 2x6 and used 8"
high concrete brick then drove up it. I got the blade off pretty
easily, as I recall. Not so this time. Maybe rust or something has
tightened it up. This time I
put two 2x6s on bricks and rolled it up. The center of the blade is
about 3" from the left wheel track and the distance from the ground to the
blade
increased by maybe 4-6", so clearance is tricky to work. I have no
vehicle to put the mower into, or I'd be tempted to take it to a
dealer.
Any suggestions on how to build a ramp that would make this easier to
service?


Easiest thing IMO is to just take off the mowing deck.

Interesting idea. I'll look in the manual. There may be instructions on how
to do that.
