    Posted: 11 Jun 2023 at 8:23pm
How best to brace a CA that has to be split to replace aft crank seals and clutch?  When I braced the front for wheel replacement, I braced the torque tube in 3 places because I was a little leary of all the weight on one spot.  How about the cultivator mounting rails along the side?  A metal saw horse like setup across those and the torque tube?

I like to put blocks under the drawbar.. and block under the torque tube... then use overhead crane or engine hoist to grab the valve cover bolts and roll the engine / radiator, and front axle forward a couple feet to get at the clutch / oil pump.

i have an angle iron that spans across the top of the valve cover front to back.. Hanger hole in the front and back.. You could easily suspend the motor / front axle / tires from a roof rafter with those two on top..... trouble with blocking on the bottom is being top heavy and possibly roll to the side.... You could use your cultivator rails ... but consider hanging from the top as another possibility.. it cant roll to the side on you.

Will probably build a floor roller style support that bolts to the cultivator rail or where it bolts on.  Being bolted on should prevent rotation if the bracing and span of the floor support is long enough.
