Christopher -- don't you have the manual yet?  You will go nuts trying to 
maintain this tractor without it.  Call Bill Gunn NOW -- 608 868-6220.

While you're at it, order his brake upgrade.  You can install it in a 
Saturday afternoon, and if you're going to dismantle the brakes anyway 
you might as well fix them right.  You won't believe how much difference 
the upgrade makes.  The brakes on my tractor now work perfectly.

No, I don't work for Bill, but I can tell you that he knows his stuff.  
He is an ET resource worth supporting.

I jack mine up under the axle.

No.

> 2. Can one put a jackstand under the axle? 

Yes, if you can get it to fit beside the jack (I have some old ones that 
do fit).
