I have 20 orange "lego" leveling blocks left by the previous owner. They work pretty good. The previous owner had them for 5 years without any issue and no cracks. But that is not the reason for my post.I found another use for them. I had to remove the blades on my lawn tractor for sharpening. I was able to drive the front wheels onto the "ramp" I made with the leveling blocks. Set the brake. Chock the back wheels. Crawl under the mower and change the blades. They sell a "lift kit" at the big box stores for $150+. Please. :rollingmyeyesThey can also act as a small lift for general use around the RV.

I take off the deck and clean it when I change the blades.

I think Harbor Freight has them for about $100. Now that I've been able to use a lift, I think they're worth every bit of $100 to $150. It'll go a lot higher than the lego blocks and allow you to do the work from stool or kneeling position.

I use offcuts of 2 X if I want to raise the mower. That or simply take the deck off.I guess the lego blocks are good for what they are intended. I like my boards. Buy warped ones cheap at a lumber yard. Get at least a few years use out of them. Have used them to get myself out of stuck situations. Used them as part of my lumber arsenal for blocking up trailer. When they finally split & are of no more use I cut them up for firewood.

I received some Lego-type levelers as a gift. Never used them, because I prefer my heavy-duty Camco tri-levelers.However, I am tall and have a bad back. I put a Lego block into the kitchen sink and set the dishpan on top of it. Having the dishpan higher helps reduce back pain.Now to find uses for the other blocks.

We use the leveling blocks (Lynx Levelers) to level the picnic tables at campsites also.
