g1000 engine rebuild

[ksmms]

Just started tear down on my g1000 lp. previous owner said run out of oil. he thinks maybe crank locked up. All my other engine rebuilds have been 206 and 336. Where do I start with a big six. Started with the heads and blocks. Do I take off front axle , then radiator support or try to remove together. I know what I have to do but not in the right safe order. Thanks for any help.

You could probably leave the radiator support on the front and then just roll it all ahead. If the engine is all your tackling that's how I would go about it. No need to unbolt the whole axle just unbolt it from the pan. After you get the engine out you could bold the front end and frame back to the transmission and take it back outside out of your way. I'm working on a 1865/G-950 and thats what im going to do. Get the engine out and then take the rest of the tractor back outside and put it in the shed until I get the engine done.

Is there a specific spot you brace the front end and rails so they dont tip forward or backwards? Or from side to side? Going to need to do some work on my G950....

I was thinking of fabbing up a plate to support the rear axle mount. There are bolts on the bottom of the frame rails that are in line with the rear axle mount. I think you could easily make something to bolt to the frame rails and to the rear axle mount. Probably even a good block of wood would do the trick.
