Exmark 116-5701 Jack Mount Kit

What It Is

The Exmark 116-5701 Jack Mount Kit is a factory OEM bracket that lets you attach a standard scissor jack to the deck of a zero-turn mower, making blade removal and deck maintenance easier without crawling under the machine. It’s designed for Exmark zero-turn mowers, particularly commercial models.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your model: This kit is made for specific Exmark zero-turn mowers, including Lazer Z, Lazer Z X-Series, and Lazer Z Advantage Series. It does not fit all Exmark models—verify compatibility with your serial number or deck size.
• Deck size: Works with 48", 52", 60", and 72" decks, but the mounting points vary. Measure your deck’s frame rail spacing (center-to-center between existing holes) to ensure the bracket aligns.
• OEM only: This is a genuine Exmark part. Aftermarket jacks will not bolt up without modification. The kit includes the bracket, hardware, and instructions—you supply the jack (typically a 1.5-ton scissor jack).
• No universal fit: Do not assume it will work on Toro, John Deere, or other brands. The mounting holes and frame geometry are Exmark-specific.

Key Things to Know

• Easy to install: Bolts directly to the deck using existing holes—no drilling or welding. Most installs take 15-30 minutes with basic hand tools.
• Jack not included: The kit is just the bracket. You’ll need to buy a compatible scissor jack separately (e.g., a 1.5-ton trailer jack). Check that your jack’s base plate fits the bracket’s slot.
• Weight limit: Rated for lifting the deck only, not the entire mower. Do not use to lift the machine for tire or engine work.
• Common gotcha: Some users report the bracket can loosen over time if not torqued to spec. Use thread locker on the bolts during install.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible Exmark zero-turn and frequently remove blades or service the deck, this kit saves time and hassle. It’s pricey for a bracket but built to last and eliminates the need for ramps or a lift. Skip it if you don’t mind crawling under the mower or you’re on a tight budget—a simple floor jack and wood block works for occasional use.
