Wheel removal on T-1870 Kubota

[nytryder]

I tried yesterday to pull the front wheel off my Garden tractor. All seems well lubricated with no obvious sign of any rust. I beat on the backside of the wheel and also cussed at it for about an hour. Used penetrating oil ect. So far no sign of any movement at all. I'm sure I can operate the little tractor for quite awhile without the cotter pin and washer. I'm at a l

Thank You HTWT! I took a look on youtube and diagnosed the problem. Rusted on. My tire is still serviceable for the time being. Every now and then I'll spray some liquid penetrant on both sides of the wheel and hope for the best!

It finally came off! Thank you all!!Penetrating oil and a pulley puller + a 3# hammer and the wheel came off immediately. Added some never seize and new tire now all is well.
