How to get my 9.5/32 rims off the tractor?

I have the nuts loose and I did not know if I should drive the bolts out with a hammer or if that will just damage something in the process. If they were designed to be able to be removed that way, wouldn't they have a standard bolts in them instead of the round rivet head?
Thank you

not uncommon to have a center stick to the rim. put nuts back on a bit and with some penetrant, ya, you can tap them back flush.

then take some wood and a sledge and coax the rim off the center.

Thank you, I really dislike damaging something that did not need to to be broken.

The outer 6 rim bolts can be driven out and replacements are available, if you mean the 5 lug bolts to hold the center dish on? You should not drive them out because they hold the drum on the axle and since they are made to stay tight they won't move when you go to put the wheel back on.

I am only removing the outer six for now.

Steve.......ya don't say...but...iff'n you drive yer tractor in figger "8's" you can un-stick yer roundhead bolts as long as you leave the nuts 2-threads loose. Simple, eh?.......un-stuck Dell

There's that inspired solution again!

Dell,
Are you in Wash State?
I could ship tractor parts to your house and go pick them up.
Just kidding

TT........I live at the foot of 14K Mt Rainier on the border of Ft Lewis Military Post, about 60-miles south of Seattle, Wash. Where I used to raise sheep to train my Australian Sheppard dog for trials against Border Collies. Couple of problems with sheep, they need DRY WOOL to be sheared...and...nobody eats delicious lamb enny more.

I would occasionally have some "Arabic" family stop by wanting to buy a lamb with all the plumbing intact to celebrate the birth of a boy baby. That was gonna be kinda difficult to do 'cuz I'd "band" the males within a couple of hours of birth at the same time I'd band the tail. You band the tail so the manure would NOT stick to the wool and have flys eating the soil and causing systemic poisoning. Banded males are called "whethers", 'cuz they can't doo-itt, whether they want to or not.

The last problem with sheep, it what do you do with the wool? I used to sell my wool to Pendleton down in Portland. I'd gitt $1.00-1.20 a pound. The last time I sold wool, I got 23-cents. Men don't wear suits and carpets are nylon. Military used to be the BIGGEST buyers of wool 'cuz wool don't melt when covered with fire like nylon does. Surprizingly, Pendleton's biggest profit maker was the lanolin they'd wash outta the wool. .........sheepie Dell

Sounded like pleasurable life while it lasted.
My lawyer neighbor, three properties over has sheep. He told me he had tanned a few fleeces and that I could have one. He said for me to come and pick one, but I didn't want to pick his favorite one so he said he'd pick one out.

Came home to find this great chocolate brown grizzley bear of a sheep fleece that turned out to be a cross between a Romney and an ancient breed called Jacob. . . in my porch.

Best meat I ever had was young goat over an open spit. It seemed like a tender cross between lamb and beef.

Did your Shepherd beat the border Collies?

My last dog was half Border Collie and half Shepherd, with the Shepherd markings.

I did that with my truck a few months ago. This tractor will not be in running shape for a long time.
Thank you
