I'll be 72 in a short while...and have no problems with lifting. But I've never considered turning it over from either side instead of front or back. I might try that sometime in the yard.


Well, maybe not....I just googled my decks weight.

A John Deere 48C mower deck, part number AM133402, weighs 97 lbs.
