I had tried about everything on this wheel, thinking it was just rust that was holding it on. Freeze-off is my weapon of choice for stuff like this as it is moderately priced and performs as well as Kroil. I had applied it many times and even tried heat and loosening the lugs and then kicking the thing sideways a few times. Probably not the best plan in terms of possibly damaging a seal or even breaking a hub.I decided to make a puller that would not strain any part of the transmission The puller just fastens to the wheel weight holes and then a threaded rod pushed against a large socket large enough to push on the wheel hub without pushing on the axle shaft. i used a smaller socket to fill the square drive as it was a one inch drive socket. As it turned out, the wheel center was so tight around the hub that I wonder if someone put an off brand wheel on the tractor. The threaded rod in the center was pretty weak for the task, but it did get the job done. Not shown in these pictures is that I did remove the lug nuts when pulling the wheel Just say no to sledge hammers!
