64 4000 row crop splitting

riveroadrat · Aug 28, 2017

Whats the best way to split this rowcrop tractor. Can you use the side bolsters to hold the whole front end up or would that put too much weight on the bottom engine mounting studs? I believe all the engine weight would hang on those 2 studs.

I made a fixture to keep the front end upright -

then block the engine with wedges under the oil pan

then roll the rear away from the front with a floor jack

stabilized and ready for clutch work -

I appreciate the info, I surely didnt want the engine to break off and hit the ground. I use a straight grader blade on the rear lift to balance it. I put a solid board between the top of the hitch down to the drawbar to hold it up. It balances very well, 1 man can roll it back.
