Splitting F40 with LOADER

Thought I'd ask before I loosen the first nut...at
winters end plan to split my Massey Ferguson F40
to replace badly leaking rear seal. Big job but what
I'm most concerned about is the loader. Anyone
have any tips/shortcuts? I have a good workspace--
closed in barn with smooth concrete floor and
possibility for overhead chain hoist. Want to get
through this safely-/no one getting killed or injured.
Also have some local guys I can call on if I'm in a
pinch. Thsnks for any thoughts/advice.

Set up a couple of posts and a adequate crossbeam outside, and you can hang the loader from a couple of chain hoists or comealongs and back the tractor away from it for repairs.

Here's an example with a PHD. Probably want to omit the fence, though, and toss chains over and around the beam to hang it from!

Thanks, Bob. Really nice setup and good idea to get the loader out of the way. No sense having to work around it in the barn. This idea will work since i'm puttin up a wood shed with similar materials--heavy post and beam and planned to park the trsctor in there as well. Will make sure all is sturdy enough for this kind of weight.
