Be VERY, VERY careful of both front end and rear ballast weights when splitting a tractor!!
I have had close accidents with both, one toppled forward and the other sat on its bum with the bell housing star gazing!

Re: Splitting leyland 245/perkins 3cyl
Thanks for the warning, I had already realised the danger that the front weights could outweigh the engine and result in about 4 tons of metal moving in the wrong direction!
I've not looked closely at the job yet as I'm busy elsewhere but suspect I will have to get a strong lad to remove the weights before I do the split.
