Wow, this is great to see such response! Thanks so much! Yes, i do have a shop crane, but i had been thinking of using blocks under the engine half, and a roll-around hydraulic jack under the tractor half.I have a VERY OLD Walker jack, weighs about the same as the S 55. As one of you suggested, i had placed 2 - 2x12, 10 or 12ft long planks, side by side, under the tractor for a better, more stable surface for the jack to roll on. But the ground slopes somewhat in two directions, and i worry about the casters deciding on their own, which way they want to go. I'm thinking now that i will set up the crane (frequently called a cherry picker for some reason) for the front. I have both the Gensales and the I&T shop manuals. I&T like the crane hoist on the front; Gensales likes the 'pull the tractor away from the engine' method. I really like the suggestions given here in the forum, about guiding bolts and rotating flywheel/PTO for alignment.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
