Hello all, I just acquired a tail wheel hub assembly from a parts 55abh plow. Mine was missing when I purchased plow My question is how do I get outside wheel box(D 843 A) off of wheel bearing sleeve to replace wheel. Inside wheel box spins on axle but outer box does not nor can I pull it off sleeve. What am I missing. Does pin in end of axle somehow hold outer box on?
 
You should be able to turn it. It just slides off, the inside box hold everything on axle. Probably full of rust, bolt everything back together so you can use rim as leverage to try and spin it while tapping gently on it...Good Luck, John
 
The removal sequence should be remove 4 nuts and bolts from wheel, slide off outer box, remove either rubber tire wheel or steel wheel, about here the pin slides out (into the dirt) and the sleeve and inner box is free to come off. You might try pumping in some grease, and with the bolts removed, whack the wheel or tire a few times with a block of wood. The 'proper sequence' is of no use when there is a problem such as yours. I'm not sure how the inner box can spin on the axle but not the outer one, but somehow it will come off with a bit more effort. Good luck, let us know please.
 
Thank you both for your replies. The hub assembly I happened apon had no wheel. thus the reason inside box would turn and outside would not(no bolts between either). After taking a 24 inch pipe wrench to outside box I was able to get it to turn. I can almost believe this had never seen grease since it left the factory. The pin(a 3/8 cut off bolt) had to be driven out, again dirt and old grease. All is well now, thanks for the info, I thought I was looking at it right but wanted a "second opinion" before I broke something, been there done that!! thanks again. PS All I need to do now is find a wheel
