Super m rear engine seal

I saw something few days ago about being able to change clutch plate on a M by removing belly pump and accessing through hole. It sounded doable but that sounds like a job through hole. I was about to split my Super M to change rear engine seal. I'm fabricating some stands to accommodate. Is this the easiest way. Any suggestions. Considering the tractor is stripped of all hoses and connections from front to rear seems like the logical thing to do.

Also it doesn't appear if I simply roll the front half forward that the engine can support itself with the motor attachments in the c channel frame. Am I correct in that I need to support the rear of the engine while doing so?

Thanks.
 
You have to split to change the seal. What we did, was to remove the bolts on the side rails, leaving the top one on each side in about a 1/4". Then pull it apart as far as it will go, then finish unscrewing those bolts. The stay in the plate and support the engine.
 
Is it wide front or trycycle type front? the trycycle front will try to lay down unless you have some good suports. Also when I have split a tractor I usually sue guide bolts, regular bolts with the heads cut off. these are screwed into the holes where you remove bolts from transmission case. they make it easier to realign the halves later.
 
If you support it at the frame rail, keep the bolts in the rear plate on the engine. That takes quite a bit of stress off of the frame rail.

I just replaced my rear main in the MD. The longest part was trueing up the warped rear main retainer and making gaskets.

How did you true up the seal retainer?
