I have a 1971 Ford 4500 TLB, there is 6 pan bolts (4 in the front, 2 in the back) that look like all the other bolts that hold the oil pan on. The heads of the bolts tend to get covered up with oil dirt because of their location (indicated in red).
If you already have those bolts out it can still be a real pain to break loose. I did mine out of the tractor while it was on a engine stand, and even with all pan bolts out the gasket was sealed on good. (I thought I was going to break the oil pan). I took a thin chisel, started going around between the block, and oil pan, and it finally started breaking free when the gasket finally started to tear in half. I spent at least an hour getting the oil pan off, I don't know what they used for gasket sealer but that sealer is some strong stuff. You may want to space the front axle support forward just a little bit if you haven't already. Hope this helps.
