Just be aware that the gearbox's vent is situated right above that u-joint.
Now the vent is no longer on the top and the fluid can seep out and travel down the driveshaft and onto your nice floor.

been there

guess it doesn't happen to all vertically stored MMMs but it did to mine last wimter.
I'll just pull the fluid level below the vent this winter.

You are right, definitely makes storage and maneuvering simple, AFTER the messy lesson I got

Looks great! How do you get it onto the dolly? Most I’ve seen are made to just drop the implement on the dolly. I am talking about backhoes, box blades, tillers, etc... It really reduces the floor space with yours on edge, just wonder how easy it is to get it on the dolly.

I had the same concern- its easy actually - I just pull the anti scalp wheels out- lift the corner to slide my axle and one wheel in place on both sides- then add the top wheels on the axle. from the front of the mower I just lift it upright on the wheels. Its not that heavy( im also 38 and go to the gym everyday lol )

I thought i would have to block the wheels and it would want to roll away from me but it was just fine.
