I kinda cringe when I look closely at the blocking on the photo of the tractor split (#12, above). Not very safe at all.
That's the big concern about splitting tractors--you don't want one end or the other falling over into your lap!! Especially the front end, since the front axle is usually pivoted in the center so the front of the tractor wants to fall sideways if you just block under the clutch housing.
