Denver: The key to this is having which ever half you are going to move secured so one man can move it, I use a hardwood pallet under front end. First you must install blocking or wedges so front axle is rigid with engine. Use 6x6 and 2x6 blocking and block under front axle and at rear on engine, so entire front end is on pallet. Tie it down to the pallet with ratchet straps. Then use a pallet jack for moving. For the back of tractor all you need is brakes on, chaulk rear wheels and a bottle jack under clutch housing.

I have used this systen on tractors from Super A to 1066. I have even had sevreal components of big tractors on several pallet at once. Chloride filled larger tires with center hub of a large row crop, Put pallet under it strap it to pallet in upright position, move it anywhere you have smooth concrete.

Make a splitting stand to hold the front of any tractor- especially a narrow front. Support the rear half with a jack on wheels and roll it away. Then you can tell your spouse and kids how great the system worked- instead of them viewing you in the coffin.

Just wondering why that would be safer than rolling the front, IF the components are properly supported with either method?

You can crib up under either end and move the other. A hoist will work well to move the front, a pallet jack will move the rear. Make sure everything is solid, and don't let the front of it rock sideways! Remember, if it CAN move, it WILL when you start tugging on parts!

I would guess the offset design warrants paying close attention to balance, especially the front half.

I do A's & B's the same way as Dave says below, block up the rear end and pick the front off with an engine hoist. Not a hard job usually.

Check the archives for pointers. Many posts on splitting the tractors.. They are very easy to work on and split.. I usually block up the back end and move the front with a cherry picker, I know other guys that block up the engine and move the rear. Be sure you replace the pilot bushing while you have it apart, it's only a $7 item.

I never did split a tractor, but I was told once to use threaded rods to hold the tractor together,but seprated enough to work on it. Is this a workable idea? just wondering,,, in case someday....thanks jimmy

Those threaded rods will twist all at the same time, and if the separated half isn't stabilised by something, it will twist and maybe ketch yer hand/s or fingers, or fall on yer foot, at which point you'll be laying there, wondering why ya didn't pay somebody to do the job! You have to have big equipment for that job, not a little bottle jack or scissors jack, and definitely not threaded, mild steel, rods! RJ
