There isn't a really good and convienentway. The drawbar or drawbar support ( with all the holes, bolted under the differential housing) work, but as you not they are so near the center of the tractor you are taking a lot of weight off the other side too. A pile of blocking is awkward as it can get in the way of other things you are trying to do. If the tractor is on level ground and will not be trying to roll or tilt to one side the drawbar support is probably best. Under the axle housing needs such a pile of blocks it isn't too good. If you are just removing a wheel you can let it down on the axle flange when the wheel is off, resting on a stable pile of blocking. I have two, 2" x 2" angle irons about 3' long that I can bolt to the frame rails extending down. Where they meet the ground I bold a 3" chanel across them. I used this to split the tractor, this held the front while I wheeled the rear away from the front. A similar easily made and easily bolted to the farme with existing holes, support could help stableize the tractor when doing other work. I made the 3" chanes about 6 ft long so it would give me a good stable base so the front would not be likely to want to tip, would also hlep in holding the whole tractor steady too.
