Quite the project, stunt!
Love the little Ford tractor. We have one on the family farm (older model, grey, not blue). I think it has some value as it isn't used at all now so I should try to sell it!
Since you have so much access now, I'd sure change the motor mounts (forgive me if they were in your parts list, I missed them).
Basically, on the race car (sold), when the motor came out, anything that touched the motor that was a wear item (made of other than metal), got replaced. Coolant hoses, fuel lines, belts, PS hoses, etc. Too much of a mental kick in the head if it fails right after you had easy access...
