Hey all! I have been doing some searching here but come up empty handed. Most of the pictures don't show up anymore. I have to split my '51 H to overhaul the engine. Wanting to find some pictures of some splitting stand so I can build my own. Would anybody mind posting some? I'd really appreciate it!

Cheers!

Sid

Sid: With a bottle jack for back half, under housing. Place a good hardwood pallet under tractor front end, Block to front axle and engine side rails, then tighten it to pallet with tie down straps. Your bottom blocking should be 6x6 and go from side rail to side rail of pallet. When you start to split tractor, place pallet jack in pallet and jack to clear front wheels from floor. Jack your bottle jack accordingly.

I have used this on every thing from SA to a 560D. I would do a 1066 if need be. I have used it to roll the entire rear of an articulated tractor away from front end, this included rear end, rear chassis, wheels, tires and hitch all in one piece.

Here is a simple one for the front. Took me about 1/2 hr to cut it drill and use it.
Just take 2 4inch x4 inch 1/4 inch angle iron.
2 12 inch grade 8 threaded rods
4 nuts
2 4x4 inch flat steel.

Cut 2 or 3 inches off the angle iron. Weld them into a square. Drill 3/4 inch hole in the 2 flat steels. weld a bolt onto each. Weld a bolt or what ever to the bottom of the threaded rod. wheels would be great. I used a nut because thats what I had on hand.
For the rear I just used a regular floor jack with cribbing. I did buy a used pallet jack and will be using that on my 460 next time.

Last one I did I had a hydraulic pallet jack available. I placed a couple of heavy timbers across it, and a bottle jack on them to support the tranny housing. The pallet jack was long enough to reach from behind the tractor up underneath to maintain a straight line when rolling the 2 halves apart. The pallet truck is nice and wide, lots of stability. It also gives lots of options for adjusting the height. Rolled the rear half back, put a support stand under it, and let the jack down. Worked great for me.

Instead of trying to put casters on it, just get a pair of trailer tongue jacks. They already have the wheel, and a screw adjustment for the height built right in!

Sid, it won't take anything too heavy-duty to split an H, if you have a hard, level surface to work on. Support the rear half with a floor jack and rest it on a good jack stand. For the front half, you'll need a plate that will bolt to each frame rail, a piece of square tubing welded to each plate running vertically, and another piece of tubing running horizontal, attached to the other two. The hardest part will be adding casters and making the stand hieght-adjustable. I've seen a few with heavy threaded rod with casters attached to the end screwed through the horizontal tubing,

put the front on stands and use the floor jack to roll it back- then put stands under it.

Thanks for the replies. I was out looking at the H & M yesterday out in the shed were they sleep for the winter. Was going to get the H fired up and bring it into the shop and start stripping it but it was raining too hard. The front tires are frozen in about 6" of ice yet. There is two plows sitting in front of them. In order to get the H out, the plows would have to be moved but the ground is getting too soft and would make a mess of the lawn by driving the 7810 JD on it to get the plow s out. Will have to wait a bit to get the H out. If it wasn't for the plows being in the way, I could just put the battery in, fire it up and drive it into the shop.

Anyway's, I am just looking for pictures of stands that others have made. I have a few idea's but most likely someone else would have a better idea that could improve mine. I already have casters and lots of assorted pieces of steel to come up with something.

Thanks for all your idea's.

Cheers!

Sid

for any thing from a h-1466 what we use is very simple, a set of 806 frame rails, set the belhousing side down set them up against your frame rails holes will line up,take a torch slot cut about a 6 inch slot top to bottom, these holes will bolt up to the frame wheather its got 34 or 38 inch rubber, lay a thin peice of flat steal on your concrete, on the two fartherst apart holes weld you a 5/8 nut use threaded rod 6 inch long weld nut to top of rod, this will let you raise one side or the other when putting back together its what i have used for 25 years,use a bottle jack to support the back of the motor on the 66 series we leacve the frame bolts in the back plate thru the frame rails, put a floor jack under ta housing and roll it back
