I split tractors using hardwood pallets, have used this system on everything from a Farmall SA to the back half of a modern day articulated.
In your case chalk the rear wheels, place a bottle jack under the clutch housing. If narrow front, remove the front wheels. Place a hardwood pallet under the engine and front bolster. Using 6"x6" blocking, block it from pallet to frame rails and bolster, then using tie-down rachet straps anchor the entire front end to the hardwood pallet. Jack a pallet jack in unison with bottle jack, unbolt the tractor at clutch housing, the roll the front end away with pallet jack.
I've had two or more tractors apart in my shop at one time, and one pallet jack does all. I have had a Farmall 560 on 5 separate pallets. Pallet no.1, engine and front end, no 2 torque tube, 3 rear end, no 4 and 5 each rear wheel in a standing position complete with cast center. I've seen some quite huge components taken off machines this way, key is good pallets, good blocking and high strength tie down straps. I have moved the entire rear end of an articulated Deere complete with wheels on a pallet. Problem in taking those apart, unless rear wheels are off the floor, drive shaft won't let it roll.
