What is the best way to split this tractor in my garage with out an overhead hoist or training wheels for one half? I do have access to jack stands and floor jacks.

Need some creative ideas. I have basic tools and need to replace the clutch.

Also need recomendations on refurbed clutch kits or new. I only want to do this once.

Thanks, Jody

The splitting ideas here are great, but you can replace the clutch by just pulling the engine. Is there another reason for splitting it?

Good observation. But is it easier to pull the engine than splitting the tractor? I would think they are about the same with the work being less in splitting. I've pulled engines on WD's and WD-45's and found that to be a lot of work. I split the D-17 with minimal effort - just requires planning. I guess I don't know the answer.

I would not say it is easier. More wrenching with radiator removal, etc. But if it's a one-time thing, choice is to cobble together a splitting stand or spend fair amount for good stuff. Safer to pull the engine- can do that with just a wire stretcher or come-along if need be. Don't need to worry about the tractor falling over.

If you have a narrow front, take each wheel off and reverse it. I like WDTom's idea for supporting the engine. I use a floor jack under the transmission and just roll the rear of the tractor back (after getting it apart with screw drivers and wonder bars and crow bars). I lay 12" planks under the tractor to act as a highway for the floor jack. Can't remember how many I had to use to get the right height. May have put the 2x12 over 4x4's to get it higher.

I am not to familair with the D 17, but know WDs and 45s. Should be about the samr as far as splitting. I would have two 2"x2"x1/4" angle irons extending down from the back of the engine area down to the floor with a base connecting them at the floor and long enough to extend 2 ft either side of the legs. Wedge/block thefront axle too so it won't want to allow the engine to piviot on the front axle. Borrow or make a dolly to hold up the front of the rear section where you split it. Use a stable pile of blocking here to build up to the tractor. Jack up the tractor 1/4" or so and put blocks in between the tractor and the dolly, this will preload it a bit and it won't be so likely to sag when you split it. Caredfully split, roll the back half back.
