Thinking a cement block is too high but a tape measure held on the rear cover, and sighted approx across the rear tires is going to be a close approximation, yes?
Once it is out, just pick up the input shaft or filter and rotate it upwards like standing a 5 gal pail up from laying on it's side.
these things are not that heavy, it's a garden tractor, not a 20,000 pound farm tractor.
You are not bear hugging it and power lifting it, you are rotating it like standing up a 2 wheel, wheel barrow
