Floor jacks are such a versatile tool.

I was lucky enough to talk to a NH mechanic before splitting my last tractor. Several items like this. No need to remove some of the stuff they tell you to. Saved quite a bit of time.We took a few detours on the service manual today. It called to drain the hydraulic fluid. No idea why. We lost a little from the return lines, but nothing to warrant draining it. It also called to remove the battery, radiator, hydraulic cooler, power steering lines. There was no need to.
Dad helped today. His methods were a bit different than mine. I was marking bolts on my side of the tractor only to find that he was setting his in random order someplace. Several times I would tell him how I don't want to mess this up. He would just point to the block heater and say " like you did on that".
Did you post pics of the damage someplace yet, just curios as to what it looked like from the freeze plug hole. Looks like your well on your way to getting it fixed.
