I just overhauled my B and it is pretty easy. Build a set of "crutches" to bolt on the sides of the torque tube (I split a 2 x 12 about 42 inches long. Drill holes for the front set of diagonal implement mounting bolts. This makes it a snap when you remove the engine. The engine weighs less than 500 pounds with clutch and flywheel (with head removed). I used a Tractor Supply porta-crane rated at 1000 pounds easily. I recommend mounting engine on to stand using the back bolt holes but that is up to you. It sure makes it hard to turn the engine over if you use the front and you cant access the parts you need to replace (like cam and timing cover). I used an engine stand (also from Tractor Supply) and it had an adapter plate that made it easy. You'll want to space the block with washers so the crank will turn freely and the dowel pin won't hit the adapter. No trouble here. The new engine hoists have an attachment to level the engine with a hand crank that is sure handy. You can get the whole setup for about $160 plus engine stand which is about $60 or so. A book could be written on all this but it is pretty straight forward. Plan on spending about $1500 for a complete overhaul if you do the work yourself (including head work which is best done at the machine shop). If it is like almost all tractors it is worn slap out and everything will have to be "renewed."
