streaker: I use a 4" channel iron frame, shaped in a U under pan, with wood pads going against pan bolts and block. The pan will actually carry the weight of engine, but I don't like doing that.

I then put in wedges so engine can not tip in relation to front axle. With a narrow front I remove front wheels. I put a good hardwood pallet on floor then block up securly to front end. I then put tiedown ratchet straps over engine securing it solidly to the blocking and pallet. I then put a bottle jack under clutch housing and a pallet jack in pallet and jack the two in unison. It will roll right apart, and this gives you absolute control of that front end. Remember to lock brakes and chock rear wheels.

I have used this system on tactors as large as 560D for changing clutches. Makes it a one man job. I also split an articulated Deere at the articulation point using this system. Only difference doing this I blocked the front end and put pallet and jack under rear end. I have removed 20.8x38 complete rear wheels strapped in standing position to the pallet. I wouldn't be without my pallet jack. You can have more than one job on the go, just needs more hardwood pallets.
