At the risk of repeating what others have said I'll tell you how I did mine.
I blocked the tractor under the flywheel housing with heavy wooden beams. Removed the front rims and tires. pulled the lower bolster off the bottom of the pivot shaft. the lower bolster weighs over 100 lbs with out the tires!also pauy attention to the bolts that hole the lower bolster to the pivot shaft. one has a taller head and you need to note which position it was in. this bolt head is what limits the rotation of the steering.
After you get the lower bolster off suport the upper bolster with an engine hoist or some thing similar then you remove 4 bolts on each side at the front of the frame rails. it helped me to loosen the four bolts for the front engine mounts. Two on each side about the center ot the frame rails. Then I took a sledge hammer and rapped the front of the frame rails and the bolster slide out. If it doesn't slide out you may have to loosen the bolts that attach the frame rails to the clutch housing. Don't worry the engine will stay put it still has a couple of bolts and pins holding it in.
I have removed my whole front bolsterand tires as one piece and would not recommend doing this unless you have a buddy or 2 to help and definately something strong to lift it with. my engine hoist wanted to fall over side ways because the front end is very top heavy.
Good lock and BE CAREFUL!
