I lost a friend to cinder blocks, smashed under his car. They are ceramic like material, no more reliable than stacked up dinner plates. They cannot stand point loading, they have internal fractures, and explode into powder with no warning. DO NOT DO IT. If I remember correctly your H has a wide front. Using solid metal wedges between the front casting, and the axel on both sides to prevent the front from tipping over is needed. The basic plan I provided below could be made by a community technical college for the cost of the materials. It is safe and will provide you with confidence. Because you are seaking this info, you are not experienced with cribbing and blocking (Most farmers are from burth due to the nature of moving supporting and dealing with very heavy things). Supporting about 1/3 of a tractors mass on blocking no more than 20" apart, is not easy, and not adjustable for positioning the components to come apart, or go back together. I respect your intentions, my statements are direct and unambiguous because I want you to succeed as well as not get hurt. Very respectfully Jimn
