Just split my M. It is not too hard. First, I removed the muffler and hood. Second disconnected lines to oil pressure gauge,and water temp guage. Third, removed wiring going back to dash box and also removed starter. Fourth disconnected air cleaner and oil bath breather tube. In summary anything that connects between the operator platform and engine area like the fuel line and choke rod.
You also have to disconnect the steering shaft. To do this I separated the shaft into its two pieces at the U - Joint, removed the large nut at the front of the steering gear housing and then the castellated nut and cotter pin at the end of the steering shaft. The steering shaft has a worm gear at he end of it and the shaft will spin right out the back of the housing.
Now you are ready to split the tractor. I supported the rear end at the bell housing with blocks and a bottle jack. I used some scrap metal to make a splitting stand to support the front part of the tractor. I welded some casters onto my stand so the front half could be rolled away from the back half. There is a website splittingstands.com that had some photos of some splitting stands.
With both halves of the tractor supported remove four bolts along each side at the rear of the engine and two other bolts at the rear of the engine then use a pry bar to separate the two halves
