Being that i cut my mechanical teeth on Ford- Ferguson tractors, in the late 40's to early 50's, here's some tips! First make triply sure you have the front section securely supported, the wheels blocked, etc. It will fall sideways if not secure! Then, yes, you have to roll the back half back, by supporting it on a good heavy duty floor jack! Not one of those tin ones from the el-cheapo parts store! A few friends to help will be of great help to you. And, you must have a smooth concrete floor! So, get help, be careful, block everything up, and tie the rest, and you'll probably be able to do it! Just remember--when the section starts slipping or rolling over, get out of the way! and, those old tractors just lay in wait for somebody to make a mistake, and then go and ruin their day-or weeks--or months!
