So today I noticed that I can swap my JD 175 wheels and tires with the wheels and the tires on an old Yerf-Dog go kart. Its a win-win because the go-kart gets too much traction and it'd be a lot more fun if it could slide around, and the little JD could do better with a little more traction.
The only problem is one of the wheels on the JD is rusted to the axle. It doesn't have any lug nuts, its just the kind that slides over the axle and a keyway transfers the power from the axle to the wheel and a c-clip holds it in place.
I've probably hit it over 1000 times today with a 4lb sledge hammer against a piece of wood wedged against the back of the wheel. I've rotated, PB blasted, WD-40'd, cursed driven around like a wild man, etc., and it will NOT break loose.
Is the only solution for me to go get a tank for a plumbing torch and heat it up, or any more tricks?
