Looks like I have to do some clutch repair and other things so will have to split the Belarus
250A apart. Would like some input on doing this
from some people that have done it.

Thanks

I've done a couple with a trolley jack under the from section and axle stands under the back. Not ideal but it did the job. Before you do anything, I'd strongly advise wedging the front end so the axle can't pivot as its scary and potentially lethal if it rocks to one side and falls off the jack while you're working at it.

Best way is a purpose made 4 wheel trolley with height adjustment - kind of a 4 wheel trolley jack. They can run on metal rails if you're working on rough ground and they roll easier metal on metal too. Or maybe an engine crane as suggested.

Got my Belarus 250AS split and installed the
throw out bearing, pressure plate and clutch plate all in good order.
Used a engine lift and plenty of floor jacks and
jack stands. Pictures at my photo database site.

Do you have any pictures of these 4 wheel trolley jacks?

Most tractors have several large threaded holes just ahead of the transmission for mounting impiments. Can they be used to mount "legs" of some kind, angled outward to support the front end? Maybe with wheels and some sort of adjustment to control height. Then one can adjust the height to just take the weight off the bolts to remove them, then roll the engine/axle away. Of course the rear needs to be blocked up securly. A welder would probably be necessary to build the support. Just an idea.

I don't know about your machine specifically but I've split my Oliver using the followig method. Disconnect and secure any wires or hoses that traverse the sections to be split. Remove the battery for safety. Lock the brakes and put it in gear so it dosen't move. Use a jack to prop up the transmission case section that will stay with the rear end. Further secure that section with jack stands. Remove any tin that is in the way on the front section and use an engine hoist with a spreader bar and chain to lift the front section. Don't really lift anything, but instead off-weight it enough to remove the connecting bolts without binding. Then when all bolts are removed, slide the hoist and front section back until the halves are separated. If you don't have an engine hoist, you can use the same technique with a roll under jack but be very carefull as the front section will rock as it can pivot at the front axle making it unstable. Once separated, block up and secure the front section as well. Be careful in all cases and try not to violently shake or rock either section when working on it. And, if you are going to replace the clutch when in there, be sure to use a clutch alignment tool or you'll never get the halves back together. And on that note, never use the bolts to pull the halves back together except for perhaps the last few turns to snug things. The sections should go back together with a little patience. If not, something is kinked or out of line and forcing it together with the bolts will only make a bad problem worse.

Good luck!
