Sarge 3,463 #9 Posted July 4, 2017 I make spreader bars out of square tubing with risers at the ends to support the axle , keeps it off the grease zerk too (like a wrecker boom) and sits in the saddle hole on a garage jack . Use jack stands to support the tractor by it's frame - best way to grease that front axle pin/spindles while you're at it .... Sarge 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
