collapsed tractor with wide front end

Posted by Ron Corkum on September 23, 2000 at 17:23:03 from (142.177.57.123):

My front end axle and wheels collapsed today under my front loader John Deere tractor.
How do I raise the tractors front end up safely to remove the damaged axle for repairs since there is not much to jack under although it does have a front hitch connection?
The front axle is twisted over on its side with the tractor sitting on its axle( which is flat on the ground) at a point just in front of the oil pan .One end is snapped off the side mount power steering cylinder.The tie rod arms are bent.The whole thing appears to be a real mess.The damage occurred at sunset so I will assess the damage further tomorrow.
Advise from anyone that has experienced this type of problem and who has figured out a safe approach to repair it would be appreciated to say the least.Thanks RC
