Just make sure what you build is heavy duty including the dolly, do not want that 500 pound mower falling on you.

Slick idea! Have you patented it already? I noticed the lift arm is angled slightly toward the lifting handle. Obviously it's so the mower's weight will be forward of the wheels on the lift, which makes it more stable. Otherwise, you'd need to have someone standing on the lifting handle so that the lift doesn't pop back up on it's on and drop the mower suddenly! Good job, like the ingenuity.

There are some considerations to take into account. Don't just use any little rinky dink two wheel dolly, it needs to be heavy duty. Also I have a U shaped steel that hooks into the frame to keep the mower from sliding off. Finally the angle of the mower when lifted will be on the back side of the dolly wheels to apply the weight. It should be fairly hard to lift the dolly to lower the mower back down. Must be safe to avoid an accident. Thanks for your positive comment.

Just remember that my 2 wheel dolly is a home made heavy duty unit and not one of the cheaper versions that may not support the weight of a 5 or 6 hundred pound mower.

Nice. I would like to see a couple of photos of the lift. I would like to make one...

Each zero turn is built differently and you would have to design the lift to accommodate that particular mower. The lift extension is fastened to the lip and the axle of the 2 wheel dolly. Also you have to provision the end of the lift so it will lock into the mower to prevent the mower from slipping off.

Is that just a piece of angle iron out on the end?
