Yes..
It is important not to tilt the tractor too much if the engine will have its cylinder head & spark plugs facing downhill,oil can pool up behind the piston and leak past the rings,or go thru the crankcase breather,and possibly fill up the combustion chamber ,and cause a hydrolock situation,the piston wont be able to move and it could harm something ,the connecting rod,starter,etc..also oil will spill out of the breather or muffler if tilted too far..best to pick it up so the cylinder(s) are facing uphill if possible..
Safety first:..
Of course I always put a 4x4 post or something else under the tractor,a jack stand,log,etc, so if it did happen to slip off the chain,I wont get crushed...
I know someone who made a pair of ramps out of 2x12 pressure treated lumber and used large strap hinges to bolt them to the studs on the rear wall of his garage--and rigged up a winch with pulleys on the rafters and wall,so he could use it to pull the tractor up onto the ramps,and attach a chain from the wall studs to the tractor to hold it in place--then he used the winch cable
to lift the pair of ramps up at the rear,and place a sawhorse under the ramps..this gave him a safe way to work under a tractor without having to exert a lot of effort..
A similar setup I saw in a guy's yard uses ramps of similar construction,he put the ramps at the top of a small hill in his back yard and anchored them to concrete posts he poured in post holes on both ends..the ramps stuck out past the hill and he could drive the tractor onto them and work under it easily that way..he used to repair tractors as a hobby for extra money and needed a easier way to get at the undersides..granted,that's a lot of work to make,but worth it in his case..maybe not so practical for a homeowner who'll sharpen blades or change a belt once a year though..
