Chuck:
Several things to make it safe: 1)Do the split on a level concrete floor to facilitate separation & coupling. Working on uneven or weak soil could lead to shifting & possible loss of load. 2)Both halves do not have to be mobile so one can be on a fixed stand. 3)Make the stands out of heavy angle iron with large OD casters. If possible make the stand to where it bolts to the frame so no shifting can occur. 4) the stand will likely need some sort of jack screw adjuster & saddle between upper section & lower section for final coupling alignment. 5)on some tractors the flanges that mate have holes in both flanges that the bolts go thru to hold them together rather than studs that stick out. Threaded rod thru these holes can help guide the units back together. 6)Due to weight, most important thing is ensuring tractor half cannot slip of stand or out of saddle, especially if kids might get around it when you are not there. Block the wheels on the stationary half.--Erik
