Vern: One of the items I learned very early on with these big tractors was a pallet jack is very handy. You want to move that heavy wheel, pallet jack. If you want to remove that wheel, set tractor on hardwood pallets, use ratchet straps to anchor wheel to pallet in upright position. Then with jack place the whole wheel right where you want in, might be on other side of shop. To split the tractor for a clutch change, or other , place your pallet under front half of tractor, block with good square blocks to front axle and frame rails, again tie it to pallet with tiedown ratchet straps. I have nerver split a 1066 this way, I would do it though, I have done a 560 diesel and done it without help. Did the 300 once took front end across shop and went back with a second pallet for the torque tube. I don't have the big tractors anymore but still use the jack around the little ones. I can set all my single point implements on pallets, I even have parts bins on pallets. I even have my work bench complete with vise built on a pallet.
