Five minutes or less.

How I do it.

My little JD 70 rider had a bar in the back specifically for balancing the rider on its back wheels to do things like that.
 
I just run the front wheels about 8" into the bucket on my loader and raise them about 3 feet.

Then use an impact wrench on the bolts.
 
I'm all for that, any trouble with oil seeping up into the carb etc., maybe not with a pressure lube, definitely easy to access when like that though.
 
my method also only I use a tree limb & chain hoist. Just make sure the gas tank is empty if its in the back.
 
Say Goose be sure to put chain on so the mower doesn,t roll out of the bucket.Local farmer used a forklift to pick mower up & the mower rolled back off of forks,killing him under it.
 
I use the "two teenage boys" method- tractor ends up at the same angle.
They're usually the ones dinging up the blades anyway!
 
use the "two teenage boys" method-
Theres an old song, Allan could play it for you, "What you gonna do when the well runs dry". Them big boys will go off and leave you with no "hoist" one of these days. :)
 
Go find the cherry picker, unload all hanging ext cords & chains that hang on it. Take lawn tractor to pull cherry picker out in the yard or driveway, too darn hard to push. Jack up tractor only to see gas leaking out of rear tank 'cause you dumbly filled it last night before you got the new blades. Let it back down a little. go drag the air comp. or untangle the hose. go find the rattle wrench, go back and get the right socket, struggle to get the d@@## cell phone out of your sweaty pocket only to find it is a robo call telling you your prescriptions are ready.....
