Reassembly woes

Reassembling my tractor after installing new clutch and other various items, and the motor has tipped slightly to one side. Any ideas on how to get it straightened back up? Ive tried jacking under the low side axle with no avail. Thanks!
 
Couple ideas.
Lift that side with a cherry picker, come-along, hoist etc.
Long pry bar between the axle and bolster or put a couple of bolts
in opposite sides of the bell housing and use a bar across them to
roll the engine back up and put the wedge back in.
 
Take a couple longer bolts, cut the heads off, grind a taper on the ends, & thread them loosely into the transmission as guides to line up the engine. Works a lot easier than trying to line up the flat end pins!

Thank you for the idea. I am going to get some bolts this evening!

Also works as a good idea when reinstalling the top cover on the rear end. It keeps the gasket in place and makes lining up the cover easier. just make sure your dummy bolts are long enough to grab and unscrew with pliers once the top cover is back in place.
 
I haven?t heard that method mentioned in years. My
dad had a set of headless bolts for that purpose. He
had to keep a half dozen 8N?s on the job mowing
hiways back in the 50?s so such things helped a
bunch.
