If I raise the deck I can just barely get under there to sharpen the blade
with a file. I can tip it on it's side but that hardly seems good for the
mower. I've been thinking of building some kind of ramp.

I made a 3 section ramp that the space between the tires could be
removed when the mower was parked on top of the ramp, leaving space to
get to the blades. I only ramped up 1 side 8" and that gave me plenty
of room to remove the blades and sharpen them on my bench grinder.
Beat filing with a hand file any day. You do notice all this is past
tense. I sold the farm with the 5 acre lawn!!  My 40 X 50 foot lawn
now is in miniature mundo grass that I mow with a walk behind self
propelled mower once a year.
