Carl: I see my nane being mentioned here. The pallet and jack work great on wide front tractors. I have done tractors as large as 560 and 656. You just place wedges in the pivot of front axle, block up to the axle and on side rails at rear of engine. You must use a good hardwood pallet and tie the whole front of tractor down to blocking and pallet with tie down ratchet straps. All you need for back is lock brakes clalk wheels for safety and use a bottle jack under clutch housing. That isn't quite so simple on a narrow front tractor. I can see removing front wheels and blocking front end fore and aft. Tie it tight with ratchet straps. The beauty of having the front end on the pallet jack is going back together you have absolute control. I have put 560 together all by myself. Just make sure floor is smooth where the jack has to operate. I can do a 130 in about 4 hours by myself. Being able to handle the entire front of tractor in one piece, and with ease is the secret. The mechanical work is quite straight foreward.
