Use a larger hammer. It'll come off

Try soaking with some PB Blaster too.

Don't hit it too hard or you will break the steering arm. . Most auto parts stores will rent pullers like this --

Or just buy one. They are cheap.

Used a puller. It's off and Bent big time. I was digging the pond out bigger and bent it. It was bent a little when I bought the tractor.

So it didn't surprise me. Will straighten out and put a pipe sleeve over it.

Getting sideways in the mud put a lot of force on it. Going to let it dry out more before I jump back in to it. Better yet, I need to buy a bucket for the 3pt, instead of using the FEL.

In future think pickle fork for tie rods ball joints and so forth.
