I've got to hand it to you. After 100% opposition to your plan you're going to do it any way. A Man after my own heart.

Just one thing: With every thing you do and every move you make, assume the the chain, cable,block, or weld job is going to break and the tractor will fall. Plan you and your helpers moves accordingly and maybe you will be alright. I hope and pray.

Take some pic's and post them if no one gets hurt.

Have a good day,

John
