I sure hope no one was hurt. This is something that I would've never thought capable of happening. I know that this will sound like a lot of work, and like some shadetree engineering, but it may work. Try jacking both the front and aft of the tractor at the same time. You will need a lot of blocks and bottle jack on the aft end. Put two Handy-Man (also know as Hi-Lift) jacks on the front of it. By jacking evenly, Hopefully you will get the housing somewhat close to lining up in the crack. Have a welder handy and run a few beads on it. It looks as if the housing along with a few other parts will need to be replaced. So welding it up and possibly putting some flat or angle on it to help support it isn't really going to ruin anything that isn't already in need of replacement. Another idea instead of welding, would be to make braces that would reach from the frame on the engine to the axle housings. This may also keep the tractor in one piece long enough to get it on level ground so the loader could be removed and the tractor split in order to make the repairs required. Be careful. This looks like it could get painful real quick.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
