I discovered yesterday that the ring gear on my Farmall 240 tricycle
cultivating tractor is shot. Naturally, we need it for planting yesterday! I
have the ring gear coming from the CaseIH dealer tomorrow, but any tips on
splitting this tractor safely and putting it back together are appreciated.
Our plan is to put two hoists on the engine side of the split and a rolling
jack for the bell housing. But with the tricycle aspect and the hydraulic
cultivating bars that will shift around easily any tips are appreciated....

p.s. Frost today for the first time in a while and the Almonds and some
Apricots are in blossom. My January planting of Potatoes is mostly in the
air - I need to check on it later today.
