My inframe engine overhaul has turned into removing the engine for crankshaft removal, anyone know the best way to split this sucker ?

Nobody knows the best way. It depends on what you have to work with. The rear end needs to be supported very solidly. No sense getting squashed by your tractor. I kind of like Hugh MacKay's pallet jack idea. Not having a pallet jack, I used a come-along hung from a pipe in the rafters to do the heavy lifting.

If you have a wide front, the bolster is really awkward - it wants to flop over to one side. The whole front end will go down like a puppet with the strings cut. It is heavy and difficult to get upright again. Wedging it up and locking up the tierods / trunnions will help keep it upright.

The block and crank are not too heavy. I set mine on a 2X4 frame (to keep from squashing the oil return pipe)on top of a pallet set on a base of cement blocks. If you make the frame wide enough, you can tip the motor on its side and get the crank out. Be sure to mark the caps and journals.

I did mine a piece at a time. I blocked it up and took off one frame rail ,then the front steering bolster 2 guys can barely handle it.Then the other frame side.Not really a hard job. If you are careful you can roll the front end away and sit it somewhere upright. A cherry picker/motor hoist would help alot with the front end.

Johnathan; I 2nd the suggestion Chris made about using an engine hoist. I split a 300 for out of frame overhaul. We used an old loader to help with dissasembly but rented an engine hoist to put stuff back togather.
