Hey I know what you are saying. Any one that has ever used a handyman jack knows about shifting loads. In my view there is a big difference beyween what i might do to pick and hold up in a pinch and some thing I need to crawl under or on top of.
Take for instance changing a blade on my Brush hog. Lifting it up with the 3pt hitch may be able to get the job done. Maybe even safe 99.9 times out of 100. Not me. I use the 3pt lift+ 2 jack stands and a chain to hold it up. That way if I am going to get hurt. 3 things need to fail. Possable? sure but very unlikely.
If I am under my truck or the wifes car. I have 2 jack stands+ floor jack and 2 3foot sections of rr ties one ontop the other. Set so if the truck comes down it lands on the ties and not on my chest.
There is risk in all we do. Using old farm equipment has even more risk than the average person ever has to deal with. I know too many who are missing body parts. So be carefull. no job is so important or must be done so fast that it is worth your life to do it.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
