Another idea to consider: rent a large enough all terrain lift and start topping it from the top down. A day's rental is probably all you need.

I built this puller to get a stump jumper off that had been on for 30 years. Used a 20 ton jack to break it loose and the 2 ton in the picture to finish. I drilled 4 holes through the pan to allow the all threads to connect to bars behind the rotor bar.

It is my understanding that the 2538/2638 engines are in-house products: https://www.mahindrausa.com/mcrd-technology/ Built in India and shipped to South Korea to be installed on the tractors there.

I have a circa 1989 Bush Hog SQ72 and the nuts for the blades are also 1 11/16".
