Service stand for lawn mowers and ATV's

A service stand for elevating riding lawn mowers, ATV's, garden tractors, snowmobiles and motorized implements above ground for service and repairs, the stand comprising:

• a rigid frame adapted to be disposed upon a supporting surface, the frame comprising first and second spaced-apart, vertical frame sections and an elongated, longitudinal section extending between the first and second vertical frame sections;
• a pair of spans removably coupled between said first and second vertical frame sections to provide a travel pathway over the stand;
• a pair of arched ramps interconnected with said first vertical frame section;
• said first vertical frame section comprising a pair of parallel, spaced-apart vertical stanchions that project upwardly which secure generally planar, horizontal wheel supports;
• said second vertical frame section comprises a pair of parallel, spaced-apart vertical stanchions that project upwardly which secure generally planar, horizontal wheel supports that have wheel stops defined on them to prevent forward movement of a riding lawn mower, ATV, garden tractor, snowmobile or other motorized implement disposed on said stand for service.

• a pair of ramps interconnected with said first vertical frame section;
• said first vertical frame section comprising generally planar, horizontal wheel supports;
• a second vertical frame section comprising generally planar, horizontal wheel supports;
• safeties associated with at least one of said vertical frame sections for automatically deploying in response to removal of said spans to prevent movement of a riding lawn mower, ATV, garden tractor, snowmobile or other motorized implement disposed on said stand., the safeties comprising:
• an angular strut having a counterweight at one end, a spaced-apart contact end, and an intermediate portion;
• a pivot point at said strut intermediate portion, whereby downward movement of the counterweight in response to gravity deflect the strut contact end upwardly;
• a vertically aligned peg having a top normally contacting a span and a bottom touched by said strut contact end;
• and,
• wherein the peg automatically deploys to block a tire when a span is removed.
