Tractor cribbing

What kind of tractor are you tearing down, and what are the repairs that you plan to do to it? You may be best off either buying or making a set of splitting stands for it. Draw up a set of plans on paper with the deminsions needed and set up with your torch and welder and make it out of iron. Don't forget to block up the front if it's a wide front end on your tractor. Take some 2 x 4 scabs and drive them between the front axles and frame so when you split the tractor the front part of part doesn't slide left or right onto the front axle. It would be recomemded that you refrain from running the engine if not needed to be run with the tractor split. Due to time and lack of need at this time I don't have a set of stands for splitting, but have a lot of ideas for building a couple of stands. Email me if you would like to discuss this. Also, if this is a Farmall H or M you don't need to split the tractor to replace the clutch. I have also "slid" a couple of Super M's apart to put in a clutch.

Good Luck with your project, and don't forget safety.

thanks

Where you located, and what is it that you are planning on doing with the H? If I can give you some assistance, I would be more than willing to try. I am colored blind but do prefer the old Farmalls and IH's over the other manufacturer's.
