Splitting Stands? JD A

I have a post about tearing apart my 1948 A to do transmission and differential work. I figured I would bring this back to the top. Does anybody have pics of stands they have used to hold their tractor while the rear end housing is removed?

I have many other tractors that I may need stands for in the future so it will be worth my time and money to have a good set made or bought.

Right now I am gathering up new bearings and tearing down my parts tractor to steal all the trans and differential parts from it.

Thanks for any help.
 
Just measure from shop floor to the bottom of trans case. Then make a heavy-duty saw-horse. Should be simple enough ? I would use 3x3x3/16 angle iron welded into a A-Frame then use 4 inch channel iron for the top..Make a brace from one side to the other on both sides.
 
I don't really feel comfortable with just cribbing it up. Id be afraid If I got to rough with something the front half would flop over.

I got a buddy coming over today that is a great welder, maybe he can come up with something.

I thought of maybe something that bolts to the frame rails close to the engine block and then run some more supports that would stretch back and bolt up with one of the brake drum bolts.

Main reason I was wanting pics is b/c I want to know the best location possible to make the stands bolt up to.


I'm probably making this more complicated than it is but I want it to be safe and strong to keep me safe and also not have to worry about it falling over and hurting somebody that has dropped by to help me work on it.

Here is the setup I used on my '37 B. It was easy and cheap.

Thanks for those pictures. The verticals boards are 2x10? Even with my tractor being completely together, sheet metal, coolant and all this method would still work fine(I would think?).

I never thought about making the stands out of wood. I think for the back of the main case where the flat spot is for the starter I will build a heavy duty 4x4 post table.

Then I should be set, well other than actually getting it apart, lol.
 
i block them up with wood to support the weight then use 2x4's for braces to keep it from tipping over. it dont take much when its straight up & not leaning.
 
Don't pay no mind to the tractor's looks she is in her work clothes and runs great. This is a very crude drawing but it just gives me an idea. I talked to my buddy today and he seems interested in making the steel stands for me.


There will be a plate made to fit the two bolt holes on the frame and the vertical beams will be square tubing.

Im not sure what the diagonal beam will be yet.

Square tubing will be used again to connect the stands(one tube slightly bigger so they will slide into one another) so I can take them apart and they can we slid to any width.

Still going to make a 4x4 post wood table to go under the starter area or may let my buddy make it out of steel to.

Trying to figure out how to make this all adjustable to(height wise).

It's not a John Deere, but here is a pic of the stands I made to fit a Farmall H or M. They are kind of a rough copy of the O.T.C. stands I used when I worked at a JD dealer.

Sorry, I was going to take a picture of mine today, and forgot. Anyway, I made mine out of square tubing welded up right to car wheels that were laid flat to the floor. The tubing stands up with flat stock welded on the top of the tubing, and bolted to the sides of the frame of the tractor. I haven't usde this on a John Deere yet, but built them for an 1850 Oliver. They worked good.
