Mark - If you have access to an engine hoist or front loader, easiest approach is to remove the entire bolster/radiator/wide front as a unit.
Securely chock the rear wheels, then jack the front wheels off the ground. Place some cribbing under the clutch housing (I used criss-crossed 8x8 timbers). Then lower the jack so the tractor is supported on the clutch housing and the front wheels are still off the ground.
Next disconnect the steering shaft and radiator hoses. Then remove the bolts holding the bolster to the side rails. Finally use engine hoist or loader chained to the bolster "wishbone" to lift/slide the bolster assembly ahead and away from the tractor.
You'll now have PLENTY of room to work on the front of the engine!
