Thanks. Aren't they all?

Thanks!

It's a 1951 distillate C that was my family's first machine. It was bought new replacing mules well before my time. I'm going to redo the front bolster and wheels working my way up, not just a tire. The only distillate parts left are the manifold and a 2 inlet fuel bowl. I've found a starter gas tank to install and am looking for the rest. No interest in running on kerosene, but would like to put it back to be complete. The cultivator is the only attachment left (taken off in the pic). Interestingly enough, it broke in half in the field in about 61 or so right at under the battery box and was welded back together. Its been used in some capacity ever since until about 12 years ago. It's just been a garden tractor since the 70s or so with newer IHC hardware replacing it for the heavy lifting (504 and 706). They're all gone leaving just the C.... Orange machines now.

I need to jack up the front of a narrow C. Is there a recommended place for support blocks? I was thinking of cribbing it under the flat under the forward section of the torque tube. Is that workable? A search here didn't come up with much. Thanks for any suggestions!
