Not sure how that model is designed, but very seldom can a rear main be successfully changed inframe.
Also a leaking rear main is usually a symptom of more serious problems, as in loose bearings, and excess blow by. Rarely will even a new seal be a permanent fix if the rest of the engine is not healthy.
As for splitting the tractor, you need more than a floor jack. A solid concrete floor is a near necessity. Good cribbing under transmission is the only safe way, jack stands are not stable.

Sheet metal is probably the hardest thing to
