07...thanks so much for those suggestions...I'll gladly do all that up to the corn starch...not much point with that until I'd get a rebuilt engine in the tractor.

Just took these pictures 2 min ago after reading this.. This tractor weighs in at 40,000 pounds.. All we crib up here with is wood. Safest way to hold anything heavy.
NEVER! EVER! Trust jacks to support the load long term. Jack it.. Block it. A jack can and will fail before a wood block will.

Strip it down. You can still mow the lawn.

Need to specify to use a hardwood block such as oak for something that heavy.

My company went from using oak blocks to the composite turtle plastics in all the service vans. Guys were making some of their own from pine and other soft stuff and that’s wasn’t good. We have a variety of sizes and lengths now plus wheel chocks too. Glad they made the investment in us and they work great.

It's been like 4 years but I'm pretty sure I replaced the cork gasket without splitting the tractor on a WF or QL. It's definitely easier with it split, but I don't think it's required, as long as you don't have hydraulic lift lines in the way. Keith has a 129 so the tunnel cover gives you access to work.

Pretty sure many people here know this (the highlighted part) by now. Some might wish I would NOT have one...LOL....

Thanks for additional info Frank...

We have oak blocks for some heavier stuff. The 6x6's you see here are old PT landscape ties. I agree tho. With these you have to be sure to turn them against the grain so they do not split.

Either way, based on what is being mentioned, I don't have any sort of wood blocks that would suffice for this, so guess I'll have to pass right now on the splitting.

Buy 2 8' 4x4 from home depot for 20$. cut into 12 or 18 inch pieces. You will have plenty.

Don't want to spend the 20? Pick up a few oak wooden pallets in your travels. Cut up the stringers.. Thats the 2x4 parts of the pallet. Screw a few together and cut to make 4x4's. Enough excuses man.. DOn't embrace excuses. Embrace solutions!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
