I split my D-14 last month....
I removed the loader frame... LESS stuff in your way the better !
I'd find a level place outside, remove bucket/loader assy, then remove the loader 'frame' sections. Mine has a bar over the gas tank, so no bar = easier tank removal.
As for splitting the tractor....
I have an I beam and 2 trolleys/chain hoists, so I parked the tractor underneath, lengthwise under the beam.
Used 6by6 blocks between steering stuff at tierod end to PREVENT front wheels from turning.
Drain some coolant as temp sender needs to come out....
Put solid blocking under belly of back 1/2, 2by4s for tire chocks
removed engine covers, center piece, gas tank, battery, battery tray
undid wires to coil,starter,lights, etc.
unbolted 'side frame plates'
undid and slid the steering shaft 'bushing' ,inside left side frame plate
used coathange to hold steering shaft up to let it pass through front hole
secured engine to 1 chainhoist, back half to other chainhoist
secured 'wishbone' to engine/hoist,undo the 2 bolts on the rear WB support...
undid the 5 bolts holding engine to bellhousing
adjust hoists as needed, we used SMALL prybars, each side to 'break' engine half 'free'
with helper, rolled engine half away from back half
go slow, confirm steering shaft passes through the hole !
'assembly is the reverse'..... mor eor less....
be SURE both halves are LINED up....
I used longer engine to bellhousing bolts to slowly, evenly 'draw' the enhine onto the bell housing...
will have to turn inputshaft to mate with clutch splines
I used a 3/4" copper water pipe as my 'clutch alignment tool' cause I couldn't find the real plastic, 10 tooth one (same as old GM trannies BTW....)
that's most of what I remember
I 'booked' a day to do the 'replace ringgear' job... slow ,steady, tried to think aheda..
