where to set jack stands?

for B2400,B2100,B1700 models

where is the best place to set jack stands at the rear?

is there a place to set a jack to only raise one side of the rear?

under the axle. But if ya got a backhoe, just use the outriggers.

there is no room to set a jackstand under the axle the wheel/tire is too close...

If I had a backhoe I would not need jackstands

Maybe a bottle jack would help in this situation?

I intend to use a bottle jack under the center...eveyone says to use jackstands for safety...I've read that you have to be careful where the jackstand are set...?

I use the outriggers to raise the machine, but I put two jackstands under the axle before I crawl under there...

Is the case strong enough to lift the tractor from? I've heard stories of the case being broken when a floor jack was used on it.

"lift at the draw bar" sounds like a good, safe place to me.
