An easy way to support the rear section when splitting a tractor is to use a pallet jack rolled under from the back side. Crib up under the belly of the tractor with 4x4 timbers and once it's detatched just roll it back out of the way. This will let you adust it up and down when re-aligning the two halves.

The front half must be not only supported well, but kept from tipping sideways. A simple frame such as shown in a post below will do this safely on a tractor with a wide front. If it's a row-crop, or narrow front tractor, the stands attached to the sides of the frame rails need to have a "foot" on them to the left and right that is long enough to prevent the entire front half from falling sideways when you start yanking on wrenches or pushing things into place.

DO NOT use cinder blocks, cement blocks or a simple bottle jack under the center of it!
