Kelly - No sweat on splitting your tractor..it'll make a fun winter project..really!! You'll get lots of good ideas and help here. Here's some of my .02! Get several small boxes to hold all of the various components you take off your H including the hardware..makes organizing and putting everything back together easier...one box for each component or system (ex. all clutch components in one box) After several weeks/months of having your tractor apart you will start forgetting which bolt or bracket belongs where unless you organize everything. I bought a decent engine hoist with a leveler a couple of good jack stands , and a bottle jack to split mine. I used the engine hoist to support the front half of the tractor, blocked the rear wheels, and using the bottle jack, placed a jack stand under the torque tube (clutch housing) to support the rear half of the tractor. It may take some prying between the rear engine mounting plate and the clutch housing to separate both halves once you remove the rear bolster bolts. I chose to leave the bolsters in place attached to front steering bolster and then unbolted the engine from the front engine mounts and placed the engine in an engine stand for teardown. BTW..after I finished my H restoration I sold the engine hoist and engine stand to a friend and recouped my inital investment..I can always borrow them again!! I used the IT manual and it helped but I think one of the most valuable manuls you can get is the parts manual for your H. The exploded diagrams/part numbers/etc. helped immensely. Hope this gets you started.
