Fasten a couple of Legs to the front half to support it near where you 
are splitting the tractor.  Or fasten a long piece of channel iron under 
the front frame and block it up about 2 ft out on each side of the 
tractor.  The rolling floor jack at the rear will allow you to pull the 
rear half away from the front.
