Easy Boy. Now think this out! You are thinking about pulling on the front end with another tractor and hoping, I assume that it will move right in the spot where you intend? OK picture this. Working into next week putting a new front end tube in the thing. May I so kindly suggest some alternatives? A porta power or 12 ton jack pushing against a pair of grade 8 bolts through 1 inch thick steel mounted through any open holes in the tube and then a love tap with the mallet. Ok maybe a hard hit. If something gives or turns a bit while you are tugging with the tractor, you could have a bend in that tube so fast that you won't set it back in ever. My 806 had not been moved in over 35 years till last year and by soaking it for a few days and then yes, applying some heat to expand and break the rust seal out it came with little taps by the sledge. That small amount of heat won't hurt anything and you are going to need the rattle can anyway so cover up the sins and go have fun. Migraine
