I'm planning to work my way back to the block cantilevered from the bellhousing, then work on the block by itself.

This tractor is incredibly light in the front end (this is the Pippin backhoe attachment). The loader arms are considerably heavier than what I imagined, and when I took them off, the tractor went to rest on a concrete block I'd placed under the lower hoe-boom pivot point in the rear.

The steering wishbone attaches to the loader frame, this is another point of attention, I think the designers flipped over the 3-bolt socket casting and mounted it that way to a crossmember. The top-cap of the socket is missing, apparently the previous owner drove it that way until the wishbone wore a hole in the oil pan.... :roll:
