How to remove oil pan

[rickv3]

Hi guys, have a 1983 1710 ford compact tractor 4x4, developed a crack on side of engine above oil pan and suspect right to oil pan will attempt welding it but oil pan has to be removed. Does the front axle have to be removed or is there enough clearance to just remove oil pan ?

thanks

Yup, I know about external stressors. Good luck with the welding. Make sure there's no oil or water passage in the weld area.
