Still need help. Thanks to those of you who responded last time. I'm attempting to remove the rear wheels from a 1952 IH Super W 6. I've tried a sledge hammer, a hydraulic bottle jack chained to the wheel, and a sledge hammer and heat(maybe not enough-afraid to damage the wheel at the hub), and a sledge hammer.Any suggestions will be appreciated. How would this have been done in an IH shop? Thanks.

I took the axles and wheels as a unit to a machine shop from a WD 9 once. He put the wheel in his press and took it up to maximum pressure. Then he heated the wheel. When it finally popped the whole shop moved. It would only go an eigth of an inch at a time. I was also told that when the tractor would still run they would take the retainer off and then turn tight circles while jamming on the inside brake to break them loose. The guy telling me claimed to have spent a long time making circles before some of them let go.

I had the same problem with my International 600D. What I did was make a puller sort of like a gear puller. The puller consisted of two parallel 1/2 X 4 pieces of steel flat stock with a schedule 80 3/4 pipe welded between the flat stock on both ends that would bolt to the wheel weight holes. In the middle I welded one inch fine thread grade 8 coupling nut. I then drilled a 1/8 inch deep pilot hole in the center of the axle bolt to center my pull bolt. I could then put a lot of pressure on the axle bolt pulling on the wheel, used a lot of penetrating oil, heated the hub with a large rose bud and used a 10 pound dead weight sledge so as not to damage the wheel. It took me about 4 hours of heating, beating and pulling for each wheel but I did finally get them off.
