was pushing compost in a pile and the tractor quit moving ---no forward or backward motion. Also If I have to split the tractor how do I support the 2 halves?

It would help if you provided more details on your tractor.

Type of transmission.

Clutch pedal free play.

Your history with the tractor.

You can download free shop manuals at Kubotabooks

The B7100 manuals are one of the best ones.

Possible a worn out clutch but no pedal free play will also do it.

There is a suction filter for the transmission. It looks like a big nut on the left side as you are sitting on the tractor. That was the issue with ours. It took some real effort to loosen it. But inside is a long filter. If that is clogged, the tractor won't move or will move very slow.

If it did toss the clutch, Floor jack on one side and jack stand or wood cribbing on the other.
Also block the front axle to the frame on both sides to prevent it from twisting side to side.

I block the rear and slide the front forward.
Remove the front wheel drive Propeller shaft before the split.
