jacking tractor safely???
Hello fine friends hope everyone is having a DANDY Day. I was wanting to get some ideas about how to properly jack up my tractor (CUB) and to stabilize it from falling. I am servicing my pinion seal in the final drive area .also will be doing some inspections. Any info or ideas will be welcomed. Pictures if you have any. Thanks for a great forum.

Use wood cribbing, not concrete blocks. There are bosses on the bottom of the axle shaft housing and differential case. Drive some wooden wedges between the front axle and the radiator bottom casting - this isn't absolutely necessary if you're not splitting a tractor but it will stiffen it up and that can't hurt.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

My momma never told me that life was going to be easy.
Since I built a nice 28 by 28 garage with a cement floor things slide around easier and and it is a lot less uncomfortable taking things apart kneeling or laying on my belly.
But my daddy told me life is a B! and then you die. He is 95 now, so I guess he voted for the female dog part of the story.

Is there also a safe way to jack up the cub to easily remove a belly mower? I want to take off the mower next month to go over it but removing it looks like its going to be a real b!

I guess it depends on which mower you have. The 42" will usually slide in and out with a little jockeying and turning the front wheels. It ain't fun, but no jacking is necessary.
I don't know about the 5 footers. Most guys I've heard either drive over them to install / remove them or hoist the front of the tractor to get the job done.

JB, if you have a concrete floor you can get some of the little platforms with rollers that can be set under the corners of furniture to move it and just let the moewer down on them and slide it out. If on grass or gravel, making a little ramp that you can put in place and then just drive over the mower works good.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
you are part of the problem!!!
