My 2N is sitting in a field split in half right now . I have to put a new ring gear on the flywheel . Splitting is no big deal . It took my Dad and me about 1-1/2 hr. to do the job . I parked the tractor on a level spot in an old road bed . Put a sheet of plywood underneath to roll the jack on and went to work . First , disconect all wires and fuel line for the hood and take off the hood . Next , disconnect the oil gage , radius rods ,steering linkage and muffler. Then , block the rear wheels . Put a jack and jackstand under the transmission to support it in place . I then put my rolling floor jack under the rear of the engine . After removing the bolts from the engine/transmission connection , you can carefully roll the engine away fron the tranny . Both of us manned a front tire and carefully rolled forward . The whole setup is pretty stable and goes back together fairly easily .( I did the whole thing by myself when I put in a new clutch a few years ago ) . It is much easier with two people . Just make sure that you are on level ground and block the back wheels and use jack stands . Watch where you stand at all times just in case the worst happens ! Nobody wants a tractor to land on them ! Good Luck and be careful !
