Righty tight lefty loosy.

Made my open end out of 3 mower blades, and use a 2lb maul to "tap" them free. Mine were on without lock washers and the axle threads were rusted badly. A little heat helps, lots of PB blaster and wire brush. Be aware that the seal on the axle is $25+ at AGCO, and you don't need to get the nut cherry red to help.

i hav not found too many nuts that tight. normally a 18 inch pipe wrench will loosen them with a couple whacks. i made an open end wrench like Dick said so i dont have to gouge the nuts with the jaw teeth. Remooving the hub is normally the challenge, not the nut.

I don't think you will find a socket that will fit that nut. The people that had sockets had made them from scratch. What I did was take a hot roll bar 1/2" thick 4" wide and some where around 18/20 inches long. On one end I scribed the shape of the nut. I drilled 1/8" holes close together at the scribe line on both round ends. I wend back and drilled 1/8" holes that would just break thru the first ring of holes. At the start of the straight sides I drilled a hole large enough to get a metal cutting saber saw blade thru. I completed the straight sides with the saw. Pounded out the center and uses an air grinder to smooth out the round ends.

I did cut one end off and make it open ended so I could remove the axles on the B's

You need to use an air impact wrench with a 3/4 drive and a 6 point socket. You need to turn the nut CCW to loosen. Some heat should help. Hal
