IH 656
I just got a IH 656 and need to remove the rear wheel to have a new tube installed. I removed the 8 bolts that look to be holding it and the bolt in the center. At this point nothing moves. Any help would be appreciated.

If you mean a utility type with the one piece rim & center... Probably just a little rusty and hung up. Spray some penetrant around the center hole, and lug holes, maybe some in from the back if possible, and let soak a bit. I'm assuming the tire is flat, but you can still bump the tire with a sledge, alternating front and back. If totally flat, maybe a block of wood on the rim, and bump it the same way. If there is room, bump it from the backside.

A good cleaning when you get it removed, and some never seize when you put the wheel back on may save a lot of time, in case it needs done again in the future.

The center bolt should be the hub retainer bolt, and I believe not necessary to remove the wheel.

By the by... If you are doing it yourself, I have changed some of the larger one's, while still on the tractor, if you have room to break the bead on the backside. Sure beats wrestling them on the ground..!!

Doing it on the tractor is the best!!!!!

+1 best to work it on the tractor.

or take the tractor to a tire shop or have a tire shop come out with a service truck. I have never seen anyone work a tractor rear off the tractor. not impossible, but the easiest is on.
