I agree the back rims sometimes rust on, but you should try to remove it and then put anti seize on the axil, Then if you ever have to do it again it wont be so difficult. they are easy to change out once you have the wheel off the tractor. The first thing any owner should do when they purchase a new tractor is to remove the back tires and put anti seize on the axils.
One of the most painful videos I’ve watched! I could feel your pain from here! I used an air hammer. Kept force on the wheel and popped the axle with the air hammer. Took this suckers to the tire shop hahaha
@@chucksmith1236 I put Kroll on it for week. There was no clip to hold the rim on. I did try alittle to beat it. I did hammer on the shaft with pressure on it. Then try punch on inside with damage the rim a bit. So I stop. I didn't show. With my tractor being 40 years old which since I own it. I tried to remove the rim when bought it second hand 25 years ago. Couldn't get off then and thats why the factory tires were still on. It lives outside in the rain, which my neighbors borrow it from time to time. When their is down. Coming with a replacement rim would likely not easy. What I could have done pulled the transaxle and split the case.
@@detailisretail no… don’t do all that… 40 years is along time… the only thing left to do is your option… or heat it with a torch!! At least you got it repaired! I HATE lawn mower tires with a passion!
@@stevess356 if you want to take the transaxle apart and drive the shaft out of the wheel up to you. There other video of people trying to punch the wheel off. Which I could tell you after being on the tractor for 40 years and my tractor sit outside. All your going to trash the rim. I got my tires changed.
@@davidsolberg9935 Hey David grand idea. Only problem their going to want the rims and tires. Not the whole tractor. John Deere might have tried it. I'm sure the pulled the transaxle and split the case. Then pressed the axles out of the rims. Can't think how much that would have costed.
