Pullng frame rails off an M

ETNFARMBOY · Oct 26, 2008

I am wanting to pull the frame rails off an M. I have the tractor blocked up and the front bolster off. Can I put a support under the front of the motor take one frame rail off and replace the bolts then remove the other rail? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Want to paint the motor is the reason for removing. Thanks again.

Take them off, you wont need any support as long as you have the rest of the tractor supported.

John is correct, I removed the frame rails off my Dad's 1946 H one at a time to clean the inside of them. I put a jack under the belly of the tractor and supported the front and I was able to remove the frame rail and reinstall it without any problems.

take them off, you still have pins, and two bell bolts on the back side holding the motor.

I blocked my M under the Bell Housing and removed the rails without any problem. Had a problem finding new motor mounts, but was able to locate some from suggestions here on this forum.
