Allis CA Rear Rim Replacement

[Paystar]

I want to ask some advice as maybe someone will have better ideas. I need to get these apart as I have brand new power adjust rims for it. I got everything lose, except the locks.
I currently have them soaked in Shop Stufff (a canola based penetrating fluid) and Krown penetrating fluid.

I don't have the tool for them and as you can see, one of the square nubs was broke off when I got the tractor.

Should I use heat with the torch? And can I just weld a nut on where that nub is broke off so I can get a socket on it?

This is the worst part of my CA. The calcium just killed those rims. I have been using it like that ever since I got it, just because I knew it wasn't going to be a fun job, but they finally started to crumble a couple weeks ago while I was driving it, LOL

Well I don’t have any advice for you but I will be in the same situation when I need to pull mine apart.
The wheels on my CA haven’t been off since my dad bought in the 1960’s
My rims are rotted out at the valve stems, thought about repairing vs replaceing
Hopefully someone will chime in with some ideas for you

Mine "looked" the same, just rotted around the stems. But then a couple weeks ago the one rim just fell apart and crushed while driving it, LOL Tires are still full of calcium though, must be tubed.

I did find all my answers thanks to some members on the Allis Chalmers Forum. Even linked me to a video of the whole process of getting everything apart.

Looks like I just need to put a block of wood on the center and get a little more aggressive with a sledge hammer and the center should fall out. Then you can deal with the seized Eccentrics by soaking or putting in a wood stove overnight.

Good luck with yours Willman.
