I built split stands for my SMTA mostly from parts of an old front mount cultivator. I used the arms that carry come back from the front mount(fancy cultivator terms here) for the "A" frame to hold the front up. I used some of the threaded adjusting rods on the bottom for adjustment. If you have a tricycle type tractor it is tougher to keep it upright. On the back I built a stand with wheel similar to the one in the IT or Blue Ribbon Manuel. I used one of the cultivator wheels but it wasn't heavy enough to hold the rear properly with the TA attached to rear. I had to split the tractor again later and took it to a friend's shop. Used the A frame on the front and a 3 ton floor jack chained under the rear and that worked even better but you need cement floor. On other tractors I have split I have used a front end loader, block the back real well and remove the front with the loader. As I say a tricycle is hard to keep from laying down so you need to hook chains properly.
