Not sure how that model is designed, but very seldom can a rear main be successfully changed inframe.
Also a leaking rear main is usually a symptom of more serious problems, as in loose bearings, and excess blow by. Rarely will even a new seal be a permanent fix if the rest of the engine is not healthy.
As for splitting the tractor, you need more than a floor jack. A solid concrete floor is a near necessity. Good cribbing under transmission is the only safe way, jack stands are not stable.
As for the front, you have to be very careful, once separated from the rear, the center pivot will let the engine fall side to side.
Since you are doing a restore, I would go ahead and disassemble everything from the engine, then lift the engine with a hoist or cherry picker. Much safer that way, and controllable going back together.
