I always look forward to pictures on projects like yours, so will be watching! Link below is to the remnants of a site I once had going. For different reasons, it's no longer complete . . . but if you follow the Odds and Ends to the Tractor Doings links, it will go through the early part of restoring my BN. I've got to get around to filling out the site with the rest of the job on the BN and fixing the links . . . one of these days.
As far as keeping the front of your tractor off the floor . . . those wide fronts will twist right out from under (PLEASE don't ask how I learned that or what it cost me!), and that can get all the more complicated with the offset of the 130, but you may already know that from your work on Cubs. So first thing I'd suggest is putting a jackstand under each side of your front end.
There's a jackpoint under the tranny. If you can do the work you want without pulling the tranny, that point should work fine. If the tranny has to come off, what I'd suggest is fashioning a piece of wood with just enough notch in it to keep things from rolling to make a cradle to support the torque tube. This could be a 4x4 or a 6x6 that could be centered to rest on the wide pad atop a railroad or house jack, or could be a 2x10 with jack stands on either side of the notch. All depends on where you have to split the tractor.
Price on the bearings sounds a little severe, but it's been a while since I went looking for them, so that may be the case by now. Ouch!
Thanks for getting back. I'll look forwqrd to pics.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
