I need to repair the rear rim from my D14, The fluid is drained I tried to break loose some bolts on the adjuster mechanism, but they wouldnt budge. I was going to apply some heat, but the metal looks like cast Iron.

What is the best way to remove these. I will probably have to adjust the tire width for cultivating this summer.

Thanks

Easiest way is to do it is one at a time, remove the entire clamp, by removing the 2 5/8 bolts that hold the clamp to the wheel center. Once you have 1 removed (don't lose the rail wedge that goes between the rail and cam), you will see that the cab "bolt" is not threaded at all, turning it just moves the cam to tighten against the wedge, against the rail. Soak the whole thing in your favorite penetrating oil, then hit the cam bolt with an impact gun, foreward and back, till it moves freely. If you cant get it moving with the impact, you may have to try hitting the bolt in and out. It will move about 1/8" in and out, add more penetrating oil as you tap it back and forth. Last resort is to remove the snap ring, then heat and beat again.

JMS give you some good ideas,but I won't use the heat.
1.Soak with pent.oil,then take a 3-4 lb.hammer and hit the end of the pin(not hard but firmly)do this over half or day period.IF YOU HAVE the correct wrench put a 2-3 foot Cheater on it and rock the pin back and forth.They will come loose.Don't worry about breaking something and if you do all the parts are aval.
2.OR loosen or take all the bolts out of the brackets holding to the center wheel.If you have to change the rim out,then you will have to take the brackets off anyway.
3.BE CAREFUL and be ready for a load cracking noise and sudden movement of the wrench.I have over 10 tractors with those wheels and have used those wheels since 1955 and have never used heat or broken any parts.YET Good Luck

Do the eccentrics screw out, or do they only rotate enough to lock in the bracket?

Rotate 180 Stop to Stop.(Half a turn)It is just a eccentric pin.DON'T lose the spacer(the rails ride on them) that goes between the pin and the rails.

The eccentrics will rust into place if not moved often enough. Applying oxy/acet torch would be ok if the tires/tubes were off- otherwise you"ll heat the tube and burn a hole through it. Another option is to remove the bolts that hold the casting to the wheel center- once disassembled, you can soak them, heat them, etc. When trying to loosen the eccentrics, start with the top one- doesn"t have the tractor weight pushing down on it.

I found a person with rims and tires (14.9-26 on 13 inch rim) from a Gleaner A and E combine. Will they fit a D14? It might be easier just to replace the set.

they will fit, but they are not adjustable.
Remove the entire wheel from the tractor, lay it down and remove the bolts on the locks. then with a big hammer beat out the center and the adjusters will fall out. soak them in Blaster and you can hammer on the ends of the pins to loosen them up. first in one direction then the oppsite way. remove the clips when they are free to get more travel on the pins. has always worked for me

I"d loosen the orignals first- chances are the bolt pattern matches, but you lose the Power-Shift feature. Depending on those combine wheels, reversing them might not match the widths you need for cultivating, etc.
