I'm about to remove the left trumphet on my 9n to fix a problem and was wondering the best setup for jacking up the tractor. Is it a problem to put the jack under the rear end housing? Just want to be sure it will hold the weight... Thanks!

No problem, jack it up in the middle just enough to raise the correct wheel. As mentioned, be sure to block it up with some timbers. I have a mixed selection of 8x8, 6x6, and some 2x10 and 1x8 short stock that fills the need here. Pull the wheel then remove the housing. DO NOT pull both at the same time if not absolutely necessary.

Al..... ...entire tractor weighs about 2500#, any 1-TON (2000#) jack should beable to lift the rear end 'cuz the frontend supports haff the weight.

HOWSOMEVERS: don't depend upon the hydraulic jack to support the weight while you are working on the tractor. ..... BLOCK IT UP WITH WOOD OR STEEL..... DO NOT USE ..... concrete blocks 'cuz they ain't strong enuff.

Iff'n yer asking whether the tractor diffy housing is strong enuff to be jacked up? Iff'n it ain't, then theres gonnna be alotta cracked castiron diffys leakin' gutts all over the world. In a word, YES, the diffy housing is strong enuff to be jack lifted. Some use a board to spread the 1" jack load point over a larger contact area, your call..... ....Dell

concrete blocks are definately strong enough to support the tractor. Did you mean maybe cement blocks? The safety issue is that blocks (cinder blocks as they're still often called) can suddenly collapse if too much compressive force is applied. Either way I'd always recommend using the appropriately sized jackstands or wood blocks that are nailed or screwed together so that they can't shift.

I'm sure Dell was talking about the duual hollow cell cement blocks.

While they are great when the cells are side by side.. open ends up and down.. many try to use them standing them on the short side.. where they have little strength.

Solid pillow blocks would be ok.. but wook is just so much better and forgiving for this sort of thing..
